I really like the atmosphere, sounds, and samples you have for this track. I't a nice, minimal tune. 
Your intro is either too long, or too boring. Shorten it or add more fx/ atmospheres and change it up to keep it interesting.
I think your drums are very plain. Your drum hits never change, and the drum pattern barely varies. This is not necessarily detrimental, but you need to keep the listener a bit more interested in the drums/ beats IMO (it is drum & bass, after all). I think even slight variation of hits, addition of some rides or ghost snares could do a lot.
Listen to some minimal composers like Phillip Glass and Steve Reich. The compositions have few elements, and usually build slowly, adding new sounds throughout the song (gross simplification, but you get the point 
)
I think that your song could be more powerful were it to follow this kind of structure, i.e., slowly add more elements as the song progresses.
I like the fact you are going for a minimal type dnb sound, dont see too many people doing that right now. Keep on this track, I think it could be really great with some more work.
