Oh hell yes. This is great and the OT/heat transitions and improvs are AAAAAAAAA plus 
STRONG ARPS
I like the evolution from section to section, and I feel there is some typical drop coming, but you are kinda inventing this genre as you go along so it's never what I expect and that's what I love about it!
still, would be cool to have some stronger drops here and there, if you can (it's not easy to do but hey!), I think it would add nice momentum to the track and make the same sections feel even more groovy and bouncier.
but otherwise nice and bouncy tune!

Thank you! That means a lot about the transitions because I really am new at this Octatrack madness, hey, it's only week 18! There were a few "panic moments" but gotta keep it in the show

The show sounds exciting.
And so do these arps!
Thanks! Hope to perform in a town near you one day!

I'm behind on comments, but Horatiu, I swear it's like you are inside of my mind on all of your constructive criticism! After the track is over and I review, I think, "Next time, I want to XYZ. If I put this on an album, I need to ABC." and then you are all like:
"COOL TRACK FRIEND BUT HAVE YOU CONSIDERED XYZ AND ABC?"
I want to simultaneously hug you and scream at the same time. A hugscream?
Keep up the awesome critiques, seriously! Great advice and I agree. Makes me feel good that someone else agrees on what direction I should be moving towards

This track rips. I love all the parts. Nice job!
Thanks so much for listening I appreciate it!
Nice development. I especially liked when the descending line kicks in. Also cool lighting effects and I dug how they showed up better on you than on the immediate background behind you. It made you look like fireworks man or something.
Oh yeah!
3:50... 'HI WE HEARD YOU LIKE FUUUUUUUNNNNN"
5:00... 'HI WE HEARD YOU LIKE TO JUMP IN SWIMMING POOL AND FORGET WHICH WAY IS UP"
keep going!
Groovy af! Love the weird disjointed arp sound in this - works surprisingly well with the punchy dance beat. Great work with the live performance too.
This banger got me kerfuffled! Woooo, and those lights, heckin yes. Those twisty arps get us swirling in a kerfufflized frenzy no doubt. Can't wait to see that concert vid too. Time for me to catch up on some OD this week, let's go!
Oh hail yais! Maybe it was the dance moooves but I had to bip and bop along when the beat dropped and you hip hopped. I sometimes worry you're going to strain something with those dance moves cuz I almost do myself just watching 
Love the warbly BoC gritty synths that sparkle in and out around the arps too. Love the bass note progression especially that last note in the phrase where it takes it. a sticker!? *CLICKS*
straight up bop right here. i have drank of the orange spring and feel rejuvenated.
Those light effects! I thought we got an early Christmas! I love those huge tom/kick hits against the math like bleeps and blops! I could imagine you pulling the trumpet mid track and doing a 10s trumpet improv before going back into bleeps and blops! I like how you dissolve everything into a glitch soup towards the end, as the solar flare is hitting the planet and taking all electonic equipment down!
excited for your show (not that i can join, unfortunately, as i'm in germany)! i actually recommended your vids to a couple of friends in berlin... spreading the word...
the melody around 4:00 is the highlight for me. it's simple but takes the whole chord stuff to a new level. since you said to keep up the comments even with some constructive criticism, i think an earlier appearance of the melody might have been cool -- like a teaser in the beginning, maybe filtered or with a different sound...?
Great transitions, moments you expect a big beat to drop but instead you get these brilliant arps and effects.
