Hi TheFrenz. This has a really nice feel at the beginning for me, just around 1.38, I wanted it so badly to explode if you know... I still like this overall, saying that. Thanks
Hi Oli, glad you like it.
I guess you're correct that a DJ most likely want's it harder, but that's no problem, when it ever happens that a DJ contacts me for using this track, he/she can even have the stems for remixing :-)
Hi Kay, thanks, glad you like it. From 49 seconds (the drop) is the part from the mentioned video that I tried to reproduce, the idea is borrowed :-)

This is really good. It definitely has a LOT of potential. I noticed the comment below mentioned the kicks. I would like to add to that. Bringing up the levels is good, but sometimes, especially in a genre like this, it's not a bad idea to layer your kicks. Use one that has a good fat, punchy low end, and then layer it with another one that has a nice snap in the attack. Fill out the frequency spectrum, so to speak.
Another suggestion is to use "riser", "impact" and "downlifter" one shots to build and release tension between the sections. Not only that but they give the track a much more dynamic flow.
You have done well with the essential build of the track, the automation that you do have is done well, Volume fades, cuts, etc. Everything is nice and wide, and seems to be balanced well in the mix. It has a solid, seamless flow. Excellent use of reverb. It's thick, but it doesn't muddy up the mix.
Overall, this is a good, enjoyable piece. A job well done.
Keep it up, and take care.

Hi V, thanks for your excellent review, I adapted your tips (almost everything)
I added a second kick of the snappy techno type & replaced the existing risers to buildup into the drop and added a sweep at the end of the drop, both from previous projects.

Description : A short minimal tech track that I made earlier this year. It's about understanding a wild animal's loneliness, fear, and pain. I would understand if they hated me, and for sure "Us." I hope it effects you. I released this on Soundcloud previously, but thought the Looperfam might get into it. You can get the new Spivkurl album "Charting The Anomaly," which includes this track at the We Are... Records Capitalist Market found here: http://www.wearerecords.com/capitalistmarket.html
Description : W.I.P.
Mysterious intro continued by a hypnotic yet very energetic trip through different techno productions. I have at least 2 more techno parts to add and a few more scary booby traps. All together a 3/4 more mins to stack behind it. After that i'll run through the piece again, finalize mixing, master it and upload incl. download. Any feedback is welcome! MMMMMMMH FRESH MEAT!
Description : techno track, haven't made one of my own in a while. Now remastered with more noises. Created in FL Studio, but rendered in audacity (Fl is very bad at making mp3s). Let me know what ya think
Description : This is my epilogue
Modeled this song after Evolution by Hy2rogen
A rework of an old song "After The Fact" which I believe is still on my old profile on here. Enjoy or don't
Thanks for joining me on this wild ass ride. Fuckin crazy it's been 13 years of music. Insane. Thank you to everyone who's ever listened to a song I've uploaded whether on here as zacvoos or ApolloForce, or on my soundclouds as ZachUndefined, RunnerTwoThree, or ApolloForce. Thank you all.

Goed gedaan Frans.
Regarding you're comment, the break is long, you are correct.
