Anything that says 'with classical music influence' always fills me with trepidation....they're often done so badly done by people who have no idea what they're talking about! :0)
But....
This ####ing works big time!!! Love it!
The Dubstep elements are tight and punchy with a good choice of timbres...
Maybe a little quick for some aficionados who will insist on 140 bpm, but I really enjoyed the extra energy from the faster tempo...around 165 - 170? Maybe you should've said Drumstep!? :0)
Classical elements are all very Baroque in style - plenty of rhythmic intensity + light and shade. Melodically there are some very strong sections.
One hint - maybe it needs even more 'downtime'? the intensity can be lifted further by simply being contrasted with more chilled sections.
There is a strong sense of an individual style here that works very well for me.

Im glad I didn't dissapoint you 
The classic influence was not even really planned. At some point I was starting to programm this buildup and it sounded like "classical" so I pursued the concept further and heard that it actually works great.
Yes its probably a bit fast to still call it dubstep. I don't remember exactly but you are correct with the assessment of the bpm. I don't care so much for styleformulas and faster tempos seem to work better for me i think.
I kept the whole song relativly short since its for the Synthmaster contest I was running out of time, but I'll remeber your tip considering more downtime.
Thanks a lot for your reply
