Interesting...too much click in the kick for me. I found that very annoying/distracting. The bass tone is very proggy...an interesting contrast. Lots of "stuff" in this...the blend is effective.

I like that bass in this electronic song. You had a lot of work to get this song done. Amazing! Here the rhythm is the most important purpose of the song. And I mean, like on Trance and House parties. And that rhythm is very good. Well done!
On the other hand, I rather hear songs with some kind of story in it. Rhythm is addictive and important, but a story is important too, I believe. I can get bored if I hear 2 or 3 of these songs, because nothing really happens. But don't mind about that, older people aren't your goal.
Interesting attempt to blend acoustic instruments with synths in this genre. I'm sure there will be different opinions on whether this can be labelled as "trance" or not. I will not be the judge...:)
Personally I would prefer a synth bass in this genre and that the percussion is more upfront in the mix. Also a drop in the middle of the track would have given it more variation.
Thanks for posting something a bit different - always refreshing! Will
