Alright mate, if you look at the top of this subforum there's a thread called 'works in progress'. Stick your track in there and you should hopefully get some feedback! Review some other users who've posted in there too whilst you're at it.
There's also a 'dubs' section of this website where you can put your finished tracks for people to listen to.

The intro sounds like a preset synth and its boring. I would suggest you take the groove from the track and have it somewhere in the intro to help make it familiar for listeners and get the head nodding in time.
The bass sound is overused. There are a million other people doing the same thing!
Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

Yeah, well i was gunna have some vocals in there aswell but im working on bring the groove in! okay thanks, what do you reccomend i do then? im looking to fill the overused bass sounds with more sort of bass sounds but not flipping wobbles. sort of like a nero sound? or in Kick snare by crissy criss.
Thanks btw!

I would avoid the vocals, they are harder to do than you may think. It is too easy to add some random shit in and think it sounds good but when you look back later it sounds like cheese or out of place.
I would try and make things a lot more basic with the groove. A simple beat/loop with 1 kick, 1 snare and 2 hats and a couple of percs is all you need imo. Make that groove interesting and not straight generic shit!
Once you have that basic groove then use that for your intro but replace the sounds with something else, lighter and with some bits removed but try keep them on the same place so its like the main groove of the track.
Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.
