Good job of showcasing specifically synth tones.  The pulse SFX type tones kind of bleed into each other but when have I myself been able to keep my fingers out of the cookie jar on this front lately either?  The pitch bends had me cackling because they caught me completely off guard.

Fine work.  Gave you an itch follow.  If you like the thing(s) on my page(s), consider doing the same.

Cheers!

I don’t think I’ve heard this combination of synth sounds used together before and I think this is really creative! My favorite part is at 1:20 when the beautiful pad chords are accompanied only by the distorted sound - this is a cool combination. Then when the bass comes in, the energy really picked up! I like the side-chaining to give the pulsing feel - I might suggest turning up the gain on the kick drum a bit to give the piece a little more drive and oomph. Maybe that’s just a personal preference thing so take it with a grain of salt. I really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing!

To be honest, when it comes to the kick, I think that it should be introduced more smoothly at the start, but I didn't have time (I mostly wanted to change the intro sounds actually).

At some point, the track puts the listener into a really nice trance. It’s hypnotic. Very pleasant.

Great! Remember me dance music gold times! Congrats!

The sort of 're-transition' around 1:40 when the bass drum kicks back in is just stellar. Great variety of sounds and super catchy!

Awesome sounds. I would've loved a snare later on.

Maybe I should add some other percussion as well. To be honest, I was considering of muting the kick completely in the beginning, to just have the sidechain compression effect.
