Pound.

I added the NSFW just in case because the vocals are a bit on the X-rated side, and you wouldn't want your boss and/or kids to hear it.

Shoutout to my washing machine, I just had to add that tumble-rumble.

The majority of sounds stem from a single sample (sans Bass, a few percussive elements, Kick, and Synths)
I thought using the sample in many ways would be fun, seeing how much mileage I could get from it.
I didn't expect it would be the track I'd submit for the WB.

I always tend to make my tracks too chaotic and do my best to dial that down.
Another criticism I've heard these last few months is that my tracks are too loopy, and that's true —something I want to focus more on--. (I am not sure I achieved that with this track)

Since I finished most of the track in a few hours, I spent the rest of the week tweaking, mixing, and mastering it.
I'm okay with constructive criticism.

A few other things:
Since I got a few more weeks off, for now, at least, I can create slightly longer, more polished tracks; that might change soon.
I purchased a lot of plugins for my daw, and I think starting next week, I'll pick one and learn about it, implementing its results in my weeklies. It might be a cool way to learn new stuff while experimenting.

With really repetitive house or trance tracks, managing the energy level is important. But I think you're doing that well here. There's enough changing that I'm constantly intrigued, at least ~3:50 in right now. If anything, you could probably let things simmer even lower in the middle ~60s, which will let it ride even higher in the last third, before the outro.

If you're looking for other criticism, I think some soft limiting to raise the loudness a bit might help? But honestly, I thought this was fantastic, favorited!!

Getting some pulsating sensations.

I enjoyed this one! Nice work.

This certainly has a steady progression to it, so you're doing alright. Shout out to laundry machines.

Really fun playing around with the x rated sounds big_smile in lack of complex harmonies, they will do!
