yeah , it sound good (sound choice , drums , bass) it just not powerfull enough.
...And eq it. (especially the low freq.)
Ad some high bass/reece layerd on the mid ( i should do it) , like they always do in trancestep.
drums are good , but make more variation so it's still interesting.
Oh yeah and those bass drops in the intro , filter them and build up till the drop.
Ok?

To layer:
"repeat" same beat / melody with another instrument. For example, instead of having one bass-melody and one bass instrument, get 2 different instruments playing same melody. Naturally youre entitled and supposed to use your artistic creativity and choose your own path.
Frequency-wise, there is plenty of work for EQ. If you do a comparison between your tune and something you like (and is inside same genre), you´ll propably notice stuff youre done different. Solution: steal production ideas shamelessly! Try to get your instruments into same frequency area your comparison song is doing, and make sure you do not have overlapping instruments (like kick drum and bass, make some room for each).
But what the hell is happening to your bass/drum sounds after intro? Your bass was so hard and strong, but under drums it is lost into somewhere. Do you have some kind of hard compression going in there? switch it off for a while, does the compression actually do any good or is it just messing things up? Actually, that filtered drum sound under intro is better than real beats later, for same reason.
I would not add any beats nor other instruments before your main concept is working.

lmao...@"please send me the sample you had in mind".......nice try dude....
l like the intro ..but that stab that comes in is way to loud.
it needs either some silence or a spoken sample before the drop.....but the drop is heavy....although it might be worth working on the kick a little as the sub really clouds it, which will make it difficult to mix.

first review i ever wrote so don't laugh at me when i say silly things.
drums quite vivid.
bassline melody is nice but i got the feeling it's played a bit by a boring musician.
A real player would hit his instrument much harder during the staccato part and when you player the part with the longer notes (E D# G# - C# B G# or something like that) it sounds like you did copy paste four times with octaving the last note up. It's like not listening to the rest of the music but just playing the notes it has to.

Intro is cool, allthough the bass teasers sound low-fi. ReEQ them a bit, and maybe add some slight extra distortion
Drop: quite nice, allthough your snare sounds a bit too thin. Layer it a bit. Not bad though!
Reece is nice, but boost the mid a bit, to make it stand out in the mix a bit more.
Maybe add some strings and/or pads here and there 
Your best track yet!

chop up your beats a little more, yes it needs layering on the old basslina, but not as much as you may think. add a few choice samples of higher end synths and a few vocals wouldnt go amiss (but not necessary) but as i said above 7/10 for a great efforty ting and cant wait to hear the finished shiiit!! 
BLESSED BE!!

Nice rythm created with the cymlz! God dammit I'll be back my stupid computer has gone funky on me!! 
Right then, now thing's are back to normal. Don't really feel the bass sound used, What that Spintonic dude said about the two instrument's playin two different basses is da shit!! This could be a phat track, drum's are great. Try some filtering with that bass sound. And maybe some vocal sample's, and this has the potential to be a mad bongo roller at part's! Up to you, just some ideas, For some stupid reason my computer will not show me your new track post so I will have to read it again to give my input on what you were asking about? Cheer's man! Once again I'll be back!
