It's just... climax. It's a part of a song that is more intense than the rest. It's that kind of part that you play if someone asks you to play a 20 second clip from a track of your choice. Climax has all the essential themes of a track and it's usually located at the end of a track so the climax is like a prelude for an outro. For example on a basic rock song the climax is usually the final chorus.

Sometimes it's good that track doesn't have a climax and sometimes it's bad. The lack of climax creates very flat result, which is ideal for a background type of music which purpose is not to catch attention, like ambient. On the music that's actually ment to be listened or danced almost requires a climax, otherwise the result might be too flat to be interesting enough and you eventually loose attention.

On this your track I'm not sure is the lack of climax a good or bad thing. The atmosphere is very ambientish, but still it's basicly dance music. Maybe it works both ways: With and without a climax. I personally would prefer a climax on it, but it's not essential.

I didn't notice that you had another track here. I'll give it a listen when I get back home.
