I really like that 2:55 part when that plucky sound really fits with that bass sound. The rest of the track needs some more things going in the background. It's to dry I think and also mix needs to be polished. ;)

I think this would qualify as techno.

The song could be shorter. it kinda drags.

you need a better drum mix, turn down your synths and turn up your drums.

that "DOOH" sound on the upbeat, is rather harsh. and overall the song is way to loud and a little unpleasant to listen to, even at low volumes.

I like that little acid sounding synth at the middle break.

Structurally i think you can use some variation, because it's basically the same thing over again. Also consider silence in creating suspense, it's just a run on sentence if we were to use writing terminology here. (i had to get use to that as well,but it definitely helped break apart sections better)

*edit* it's pretty modular though, but i think some silence would help you out

Josh Huval: Honestly, the guys who are making good art are spending their time making it.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not very good with percussion but hopefully i can improve on that.

4 by 4 beat.. Check
Random Synth arpeggios throughout song.. Check
Same bass line Throughout.. Check
Introduces Vocal shortly, only to slice to use gate effect.. Check
Definitely Techno, Bro. (None of this is supposed to be insulting, it sounds fine, just playing fun :) )
