Reviewing as I listen.

Go easy on the flanger.... The little Eurogate was a nice idea though. Percussion quality is really low. It's very muddy. Some random off-beat slip near 0:33.... And nothing made sense during the crossfade transition. The build was nice, though maybe too fast. Drop sounds nice, but.... You have just piled together a random bunch of samples, haven't you... Please stop doing that or at least get a decent sense of song structure. That is all. Luck is overrated so better skill next time!

I haven't used a bunch of samples O.o I just did some drum and wobbles together.
Well only used for the rizer, thanks for your feedback

It sounded like that.

I didn't mean to come off as arrogant as I did, but... Seriously consider restructuring everything, it could work wonders in contrast to its current state. Also add variation and some slight background sounds. And kill the flanger as well or make it less obvious.

lol what flanger? :S
I didn't add any in xD. I'm still a beginner at this.. What do you mean by restructuring? Like intro > rizers > drop > back to intro > drop 2?
o.o

That massive flanging/phasing effect on that intro/break synth you have is what I mean by flanger.

As for a good structure, you might want to try: Intro - Verse/build - Drop - Breakdown - Build - Second drop - maybe a short bridge and - Outro.
All that needs to be transitioned properly as well. Right now it just sounds like random loops stuck together on top of each other without any structure or composition in mind.

Take things slowly and gradually, always think what you want to be where exactly, be it in the mix or in the main structure.
