Damn this is a pretty solid/proper modern trancer with that "edge" thats been missing for a looong time. Apart from the spoken vox and a little bit of wonk/cringy atkinson/noble six vibes it is really good. 8/10 score frome me. Maybe 7.5, heh.

the parts with supersaw riff and pads fully open sound kinda messy and way too loud, would appreciate more subtle approach to the synths, instead they're competing which one is the loudest

Same for fb videos/reels?

It depends; for facebook I usually copy a link from browser (not app), it needs to have a „story” in link to be embed.

If we’re talking about Instagram, I totally don’t know how to work with reels. (if it has „reel” in link, it wouldn’t show on forum as embed).

Yeah for fb, I just figured this out after multiple tries, using desktop mode on my phones browser I right click the link of the reel video then it embedded properly.

It does have a nice edgy and energy to it, agree it stands out in that regards. Good track but a bit busy/noisy, almost feels like white-noise is constantly there beneath everything, with lots of competing sounds. Might sound better on my headphones where clarity is improved.

Liking this. Maybe missing that early 2000s / late 90s mastering to fully seal the deal, but overall very nice one from Adam Reece, I'd say it absolutely nails that Gatecrasher era sound that so many attempt to do (but usually end up falling short).
