OK, I listened.
I normally absolutely detest anything resembling EDM.
But I think this piece is well laid out and executed nicely.
It sounds like a fair bit of detailed work went into it.
It has an actual ebb and flow to it with well-placed breaks,
  giving it what appears to me as somewhat of an 80's flavour,
  like say Whitney Houston could have sung to it.
I can even imagine some electric guitar in there, something
  normally impossible with typical unworthy EDM.

Cheers.
Tim.
