    Sounds like this would make a hella boring and repetitive file to me.
    First part- background 16ths maybe layer in those light accent synths.
    Once the percussion comes in- two different synths to layer, plus the percussion itself. Fairly repetitive but it has a lot of interludes with rhythmic variety. If you cut the repeat of this part out, it would blend perfectly into the next part.
    Quiet section after percussion cuts out- non-standard rhythms in the synth, background 16ths again. could go real easy on this section or build it up with layering. Lots of options.
    Chorus section starting at 1:38- this is where it gets a little boring to step in my opinion, but honestly you only want repeat of this section before the end of the file anyway. Still a few options to layer here, plus the interludes have great variety.
    The break at 2:42 seems like a decent natural stopping point. If you cut out one repeat from each of the earlier sections you get a very varied file that's a little less than 2:00 long, would be perfect. Almost no repetition at all.
    Could also tack one more repeat on the end for a 2:30-ish long file. Definitely some interesting drum work you could focus on to change it up and stuff.

    A lot of this song's success as a file would come down to good cuts. Take a look at the Ah Shwe Bah cut that is in FFR, that's a perfect example of taking a rather long song and seamlessly reducing repeats while making it fun to play and keeping the soul of the song.

    While I agree that, musically and production-wise, there's a lot better dubstep songs out there, a lot of them are really texturally simple and hard to make anything more than a 20-difficulty simple file to. It's about the layers of sound you can make a file around, and to me, this song has enough layers with enough rhythmic diversity in those layers that it could make for a really good file up to the 50s and even higher

    You've made it clear that you don't like the game or the community.
    Why do you stay?

        it's more melodic than other tracks that have anime pictures on youtube
        it's not a fantastic song but due to the ducking and how varied the drop (ugh) is, it should make for a fairly interesting mid-level file

        once I get sm5 up and running on linux I'll take a shot at this

          okay I obviously need to make a really short cut because there's practically nothing I can do for the first section besides 8ths
