This kinda reminds me of Phantoms (especially their Phantoms EP).
First of all, I'm guessing you're going for a dark, dissonant vibe, and you definitely pull it off. Concerning your structure and arrangement: On my first listen I was kinda bored from like 0:08-0:30, but on my second listen I kinda figured that was only 'cause this isn't what I usually listen to haha. As the track progressed though, I was pleasantly surprised. Your song has a lot of variety without losing the theme. The sections flow into each other seamlessly and the boredom I felt at first quickly went away. I'm really liking all the sounds you used too.

Concerning mixing, the song works nicely in mono, though Idon't feel like there's much going on in the stereo field (maybe a good thing?). Judging from the title and genre that's probably good for its intended audience (clubs, etc). None of your sounds are clashing and you seem to be making use of the entire spectrum, though my ears kinda want to hear more high end content. Again, probably because of the music I'm used to listening to haha.

Overall I liked the track, despite not caring much for the genre :P

Just out of curiosity, are you making all of these sounds yourself or are you using samples from somewhere? I really like them :D

Not my style of music, but I'm still loving a lot of the concepts and sound design here. That after intro saw gate kind felt weird, like it was just pushing that border of how many instruments were okay in there. There are a couple times where things don't transition too well, but still work pretty well. Mostly, I'm just really liking the variety of sounds going on here, like the end reminds me just a tad bit of old school bassnectar mixed with an industrial song I remember from one of the really old Command & Conquer vibe. Very old school and pulls off nice. Obviously the style is record label grabbing, but it's definitely a very good underground certain clique style.

So first, I feel different than these two other replies. I love your style, and it really resonates with me. It's super trippy and it makes me want to zone out and seriously listen to it. I seriously love it. Very good experimental feel with tons of stuff to analyze and just feel. I'm totally gonna support your music man. Great stuff.

Yoooo these are some unique ideas, you can really take them somewhere man! Was listening to Level Up, I think some parts in the middle are off-key, the vocal chops and bassline sounded off together. If you don't know keys in music, using your ears is your best bet.

Keep it up!
