sounds really muddy mixwise, the hat is too crisp at the beginning, the synth doesn't have enough clarity in the high end. the melodies are a tad generic, and the synth sounds in general are overcompressed to all hell. try experimenting more with EQ, focus on rolling off "un-necessary" frequencies and try some saturation or distortion. it needs more character..sounds like a bunch of presets and sample pack hits that you just slapped together. try compressing all your drums together and really, work on your kick. it sounds absolutely stock and in this kind of music the kick is everything.
the composition isn't bad i'll give you that. but the song isn't cohesive, it sounds like some 2 minute clips you just stuck together and added some transitions. that hissing riser sound is crazy played out, if you're going to have it i want it to sound gritty and clear, like i'm standing next to an air hose that's leaking. so bring it forward more and perhaps eq/distort it to give it a little grit.
ok that was some in depth feedback, now i order you to leave me one comment on one of my tracks
