very rigid...beat.needs more swing......
ok when it drops.....get rid of the laser bits and turn up the bass....
its very catchy but you need a shit load more variation in this to keep it interesting..its jump up....but you need more jump. 
i do like your lead though......
im not sure about the second breakdown and drop .....
catchy tune..needs a renovation though.....new mix, more variation all round

man this is a rigid intro i think it needs more swing (like munki said ) to keep it from sounding like a robot ....
the lasers are annoying as fuck IMO ... i think the reese in the bacround would be a nice replacement for those damn lasers ...
your levels are nice and even, good job on that.
and we are waiting for some variety.. i think thats one of the problems with this track... its the same damn beat for the first 2 minutes.. with ALMOST no variety.. i say almost cause some things switch in and out but the beat stays the same ...
2.22 - i think the breakdown bass needs to be brought up ...
2.55 - what the hell happened ?? everything just stops ... i think thats a bad way to just put your drop in ... think of something to fil that in...

the intro is as stiff as the others said, use subtle velocity changes, swing and maybe slight layering of another better flowing break to fix that.
because of those annoying lasers i dunno if i can really get into this. has a nice groove tho...god those layers are awful
this needs to flow. first part was alright but the breakdown bass is cheap, cheesy as hell...i don't think i like this song at all.
you've done much better before for sure.
but sure u got levels, eq right. lol.
5/10

it's not bad, it reminds me a bit of electro, but sometimes there's not enough variation, also the sounds are a litle bit to much used. But it has potential

I see that this is your "rough copy". Well to start, I don't really care for the drum sounds chosen (mainly the highhats or whatever is replacing hh here), but it sounds you are kinda goin for the electro vibe, they just seem a little unnatural and too crispy, tinny. I like the bass line but not the sound that you chose. Gets really interesting at 2:20ish...cool drop at 2:55 I really like the long silence track sounds much better here. Stops too abrupt, but I know you are not finished. Well overall I think it's good but you need to do something about the beginning, sounds too high pitched, like it would hurt your ears on a big system. Peace!

Yes, zee lasers are in need of some warmth. 
Maybe some reverb, delay and filter automation on thoz lazer's would do the trick? Killer track when it hitz 2:20 it's really funky at this part and the tight robotic producing work's well with this part of the track. Hope to hear a funky update. It has allot of potentiall to be a phat track! 
Cheers!++Stu Maggoo++

Aaaaaaaaaargh, gameboy DnB 
Anyway, some of the melodies sound like they were made by Pendulum, I guess you like them?
The sound is thin though, most of the basslines are lacking in the low and the high end is somewhat lacking too.
