Strong beats but dark undertones. The glitching is awesome contrasted against the big drum hits.
Definitely getting a strong hip hop vibe mixed with glitch. Sounds familiar and strange at the same time. Nice work.
Coolness... bring on the bruises after the wild glitchy mosh pit! ... Chaaaaarge!
Hip hop, but not quite hip hop. Maybe alternate universe hip hop. As always: great work on deconstructing the vocal sounds! Very cool track!

Yeah, hip-hop is a fairly alien field for me, which is why I wanted to use this particular vocal.
That beat hits nicely and the stereo effects on the pads are nice.
Besides of that i absolutly dig that playfull voice only interlude 
Big One!
Love the elaborate sampling, you built up a very interesting atmosphere/narrative 
Loving this one ... conjures Prefuse to me a little as some of your past stuff has but not any of the ones this year I can remember, dig it. Kept wanting big steady drums to drop in, but kind of cool they don't, keeps more on edge. Great work!
works nicely, great groove... might be also the elements of a dub track somewhere there?

I hadn't listened to any recent Prefuse, but after checking recent stuff, I can certainly hear similarities. Good one!
Love how complex the stereo spread is 
Nice use of those samples, this tune is so nicely varied and well structured The stuttery rhythm in the second half especially works really well!
