Intro sound is really nice and bright, but then the drums come in really abruptly - maybe work on a build and drop. The drums also sound bright and clean but too quantized and stepwise - I think you could benefit with a uniquely chopped and eq'ed drum loop to give it a more driving human feel.
I often start with a loop, cut it in a variety of ways, eq it and then add layers of heavily compressed hats, cymbals, toms and especially kick and snare - lined up with the main hits of the loop. All the synth sounds are good and the track is mixed quite well but it sounds like several vst parts stitched together - which is what many tracks are - the trick is to disguise it with some new layers that come in and out more randomly, some atmos.
The sub needs boosting and needs to be a bit more clear. That combined with your clear drums (once layered) could drive this tune forward. IN stead of looking for new synth loops to play through a vst (a often limiting technique) try creating a whole new part to the tune that uses some of the current elements (reece, sub and rearranged drums perhaps) and then belnds them with samples, loop snips etc. - just play around with them until you get some uniqiue and less predictable parts for your track - then pick and choose those that work best together. I hope this is what you meant by some input - if not - then this is just me going on...
This track is clean and well mixed - needs some looser elements to fill it out.
