quick reviewy 
mm hmm, it's not really my style 
, but i'll try and give some general pointers:
1) indeed, has a certain 'feel' to it, but it's a techy-groovy thing or something, and that's not really my thing, which makes it hard to judge, but i'll try
2) make your snare longer, now it's to snappy (for my likings). perhaps an envelope with small attack, to remove the high initial attack (the snare looks like a wall in the beginning). This way, you can turn up the volume of the snare, and your snare tale is louder. (perhaps also try plate reverb, some compression, bit pitched-down)
3) basses are hard-clipped, which makes them sound terrible at some times... there are many 'clicks' and distortions. If you look at the song in a wave-editor, you see the top amplitudes are shaved off: that's the clipping. So compress the bass, or lower the volume in the mix. My guess is there are some excess frequenties in their, that make the amplitude high, but don't add much to the sound (so filter them? and try a frequency analysis to see the effect)
4) add more elements (lead synth, some other melody...), more variation in break/song pattern...
5) the 'laughing' vocal, is it from macarena??!! reminded me of it...brrrrrr
anyway, it's smooth, but the 'clipping' makes it hard to judge...scared the shit outa me
look at what you make in a wave-editor, and you'll see all i've mentioned. anyway, you asked a review, hope i helps
keep up the good work

keys "2" "w" "s" "ks" do not ork on my keyboard (dropped a cup of cofee 
) be patient.
zo, the reviev
iked_ayz iz definatly right about your baline. Hard clipping occur. It zoundz like a zample
that izn't cut vell, zo you need zome maztering vork on it. Znare iz okay, but make it a bit louder and more aggreizve. I often uze 2 znarez playing together at the rezt of the track. and juzt one znare plaing in the begining.
IMHO alzo u need to bring zome variationz to your breakz and uze more featurez and effectz. Maybe a cutted leading or zomething. It getz kinda little boring after 3 minutez liztening(my opinion of courze). If you make a repetative tune, like i do, you need to put ay more attention to detailz. Crazh cymbal at "three minuz one:11" doezn't really match the place.
Like fkz at the background. Main drum iz ok, after maztering of caurze. Did you uze a comprezzor?
RATE: 2+
It could become a nize track, but ztill needz a lot of vork on it.
Hope it helpz you. Keep vorking

You can use software compressors, there is one in almost every software package...
Not too fond of the snare either. A bit short and it lacks a bit body. Give it some more low mid (500 Hz or something)
Your bassline is too loud. It overpowers the rest and it is indeed clipping.
The track is indeed a bit boring. It's essentially drums + bassline and some fillers. Having a lead sound/melody these days isn't a luxury... So add some more stuff.
2.25/5
