This sounds unique! I like the dynamic rhythm changes and I'm personally fond of panned sounds and this was plentiful. The first five seconds were captivating and melodic and this song could easily fit into a dialogue scene involving a funky gnome who has some hidden mischief waiting to be unleashed, which the rest of the song manages to deliver. Small nit-picks would be mixing for a softer, smoother feel, and perhaps with more motifs or extension of melodic elements (for example at 0:42 my ear seems to want to hear another chord). Overall, this is a well-fitting and creative piece.
