ok .. the hat pattern tikka tikka sound 30sec seems too verby pushing it back in the mix - twould be better tikkin' more in your face in this instance - keeping that change in intensity idea throughout the track at well thought out places would be good too... also chopping the pattern, spreading it out n making it go against the flow at odd moments, in line with the slidey atmo, will throw a bit more confusion factor in there :dark:

I think the screamy vox loop should be the only element to have obvious reverb... as this is a sample you need some effect which you can wet/dry some movement with using Lfo filters with different shapes and rates - have you got Buffer Overide (stereo) in your vsti effects bank? .. this is a handy tool for this type of scenario if you can tame it right...

Structure needs to change >> you have broken beat techno but with a 4x4 structure - be nice to hear the beat while the guy is still talking - then break it off & just leave the vocal on it's own for two bars - then back in earlier than expected .. broken beat for me is more about experiencing that surprise moment but without the tune being too structurally glitchy to the point it becomes annoying...

I'd take the vocal scream away a bit earlier and let the track play out with vocal snippets form that guy again - this will enhance mood - especially if you gradually make the guy's vocal less n less discernable as the track is playing out...

Good to see you back producing mate... good promising dark as f*** stuff
