I didn't have anything particularly

Track 4, Ableton Wavetable Bass Synth
post worthy last night, so I figured I'd just try a timed writing challenge/exercise and see what happens. I didn't get a lot of tracks, as I once again spent too much time playing with unnecessary parameters, haha, but, I like the idea here. I think the drum sounds need to be changed, but I like the pattern, and way the bass and chords work with it. That was mostly an accident, I started with a little hand drum pattern from LABS Percussion kit, recorded that to audio in Track 2, then slowed/pitched it down by an octave. This could be okay, perhaps with some effects added. Track 1 was also the LABS Percussion pack, and just adds the tom hits. These too are just okay, and with something more digital, would work better with the synths. I then took one of the new tools I got from that Izotope pack I purchased a while ago, the 'Stutter Edit' tool, and applied it to the hand drum audio. This resulted in the weird, flangey sort of build up sounds in Track 3, which I also chopped up into 32nd note segments, so they were more of a percussion part. Track 4 is the bass part, using one of the Ableton Wavetable presets, though I did shut off one of the oscillators, as it was really strange and plucky, and didn't work. The bass sticks to root notes, in 2 sections, A (in Purple) and B (in Blue). The A section just drones along on a D, though the chords on top of it shift and move around. In the B section, we change keys, starting on C (min) to G (min) back to C (min), Bb (maj), then some weirdness with F (min) to E (min), then back to the A section. The chords in Track 5 add all of these extra changes on top of the bass notes, in addition to some extensions, to give it a more interesting sound. These two parts I definitely like a lot, so I'll see if I can't find a way to make everything else fit them better.
