Gosh, this is so well-made. You have executed to the highest degree all the ideas I wish I could perform - from the initial clean and clear string ensemble to the uber-clear electronic drum beat devolving into the glitchy yet so wonderfully-made chaotic middle. You have found the balance between classical/orchestral and electronic that I think fits the jam theme as perfect as possible. The synthesized choral quartet is so well-composed. I listened to this play on repeat and will add it to my library to come back to for sure. Overall, this is a stellar submission. You now have a new fan! Excellent work and thank you for sharing!

Well, I'm not going to say anything that is new for you. I barely learned dubstep genre myself and was faking it for a couple of years until I gain enough confidence to release my skills to the world to judge. I learned everything from YouTube. Walk-throughs from people like Virtual Riot or dr. Bill were particularly helpful. One thing that is characterizes dubstep for me is that you have to cut out everything extra and just focus on one sound at each individual moment, even if that sound is very brief. But it doesn't mean you don't layer things.
I not even going to try explain in details the process in the comment, but if you are interested, we can get in touch on discord and I can answer particular questions that you may have.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer! These are great tips. I think that cutting out extra is a skill I still need to learn. I feel that I fall into the bad habit of thinking "more is better" sometimes, so I should start practicing that in all my music! I'm going to check out some of those resources and maybe try my hand at this genre sometime soon. I will for sure reach out if I have any other specific questions. Thank you!
