The rhythms feel like we're at a dance club, but the tones on top of it give off a much darker and more ominous vibe.  It's a cool combination.

OVerall I really enjoyed this track, I really dig this kind of music where there's a solid beat and bass line grounding everything throughout the track as a means for experimenting with texture and ambience over the top. If I may offer one bit of criticism, in the chance that you end up re-releasing this song again at some point outside of weekly beats, there's one particular element I found to be a bit distracting. at about 1:41 there's this melodic/rhythmic motif that you've been playing for a while that suddenly rises in volume and brings a lot of attention to itself. Due to its timing and the fact that its a back and forth between two notes that almost sound like a polyrhythm against the beat (I don't think it actually is though, could be wrong) I found my ear was continuously drawn to those notes rather than listening to some of the ambient textures in the background. I think mixing that part a little lower might be helpful, but other than that this is my kind of jam, hope I didn't come off as nitpicky.

Quite the opposite! Thanks, I love this kind of precise input... this was bashed together rather fast, so I well may take this one up for remixing soonish

Very different sound.  I like the frenetic pace and beat. Great drum and squelchy bass patterns.
