i love the drop concept! super heavy, and that lead synth is killer!

i do think the arrangement could use some work, as it feels like nothing but Builds and Drops - even your intro feels like a buildup that just goes into another build! Spend some time studying the structure of artists like NGHTMRE, Quix, Boombox Cartel, and Bro Safari and see if you can apply some of that to your own work.

your mixdown is pretty good, though there is just a LOT of high frequency content in your claps and you could probably turn down your sub a bit. i'm happy that you didn't make the classic mistake of super loud hi hats rattling like a sprinkler on top of your mix, but with the super high energy nature of your track having it just sit in the mix panned a little to the right kind of pulled me away from the track. for your next song, keep the overall mix the same but try automating the hi hats through the stereo field to give it extra movement or use some kind of autopanning plugin.

keep up the good work, looking forward to your next track!

Happy to help. :) If you only have one studio monitor, consider investing in a good, affordable pair of reference headphones. You can do a lot of your song work on there, then use the monitor as a way to check how it sounds in Mono!

Good luck with your next project!
