Dude, killer track. I totally thought I was listening to some 1200 micrograms or Infected Mushroom. I think you got a real great psytrance sound dude! I think you should just stick to the psytrance and not taint it with D&B or breaks. It got a lot of melody already and you might just overwhelm your listener. If anything I think you should just repeat a lot of the same stuff a bit more, because its a bit short.
I don’t wanna start tossing links your way, but you should check out Planum. He’s got a lot of melody like you do and fusses other genres into psy, without actually leaving the genre. I’m not saying you should sound more like him. I just think you’d actually enjoy his music!
I’ll share my two favs with you.

Maybe you could just add a lot more tripped out sounds panning from left/right? The thing with psytrance is the listener wants to just let the music sink in while he’s tripping. Once you got a good riff just ride it out, making slow changes over time. When your having a good trip, the last thing you want is the song to change too much. Your in the zone and you have patience you can soak in a bassline for 64 measures without getting bored. In Musical Fluctuation you’ll here him pile on a ton of sounds one by one, then abruptly take them all away, then he brings them back later. At the end of the track you have the whole entire song playing all at once it seems. If you listen at 5:20, he’s got some crazy filters going on. That would blow my mind when I’d be shrooming. He’s got a lot of legit drum rolls you don’t hear in electro, but that comes from his metal background and his Russian attitude of not giving a fuck.The second track has some awesome guitar riffage. It’s real different and I think its just a closer to the album.
Just remember the person is typically on psychedelics when he decides to listen to some psytrance and you wanna give him a journey without too many twists and turns.
If you just focus on adding those bells and whistles and making the track longer you’ll have an AMAZING psytrance song! I’d take your style of John 00 Fleming any day.
I get excited about psytrance and the fact that your making it in renoise is awesome!
PS, it sounds like you already know this, but delay is your best friend!
If you hit the 8 minute mark. I will gladly listen to the whole thing next time I take some lucy!
