Like the sound and the armosphere in the track
But it really sounds lofi, altho it is 128kbps. So either you have a REALLY bad MP3 encoder, or you downgraded the quality deliberatly, or you should do some serious work on the mastering!
Hope it's not the latter...
Amen is a bit too loud in comparison to the rest.
Sub could use a slight boost and the main melody too.
A bit a short track, is this finished already?

I have just listened to both of your tracks and there is something in your work that really gets me. I don't know how to say it really but I think you have The Vision or something like that 
This one is a little roughly produced but the melodies and sounds are really great, refreshing and original!! 
The structure needs some work though and you need to mix it a little tighter, but you somehow got a feel for music that gives me great hope for new dnb styles in the future!
Saeteck, you've got a fan!!

You can't do mastering at home really, unless you got some real good processors and speakers to do it on...

Indeed, but what you should keep in mind when making the mixdown:
- everything should sounds clear with well ballanced sound (enough of the right frequency's, hihats should have enough hi-end (duh and so on)
- everything should be hearable to some level. Backgroundnoises are obviously less loud, but should still be noticable, nothing should overpower the rest...

Oh yeah and the best trick is to check the mix at a very low volume. If you hear everything in balance at low volumes you have a good mix. Mixing at high volume is useless anyway, if you go above 90dBSPL you can't hear properly anymore, and a lot of home speakers and amps start sounding a bit troublesome anyway at louder volumes.
Check on as many different systems as you can, different hifi or pro amps, headphones, car stereo, portable stereo etc. It should sound good on everything. Compare it to a perfectly mixed track on the every system (I often use The Prodigy to compare with, but you can use nearly every popular track as a reference). And then get your track to sound as good as your reference
Listen to every element one by one and compare it to the reference: is the bass equally loud? The kick, the snare, the lead melody, the backing melodies, the cymbals, the hihat etc etc
Also check the track for consistency, do some sounds get pushed away when other sounds appear? If this happens you need to EQ the sounds so they fit together well.
Well that's a basic starting point
