Not a fan of the piano and strings at the beginning, sounds a bit like a nursery rhyme.The snare is too splashy and could do with a bit of EQing to take it down a little and make it less stark in the mix.
The midrange noises that start at 1m16s are really horrible...they're out of place with the tune and hitting too loud in the mix to the point where they're drowning out nearly everything else.
Had to turn this off at 1m50s, it was giving me a headache

I feel that this tune is trying to sit on two chairs at the same time… Its part som sort of horroresque ghosts dancing at an abandoned tango club thing, part skrillex effing youre face with a dentists drill (some people enjoy that sort of thing, though). And it collides a bit too brutal.
If it was my tune I would figure out wich chair it should be sitting on. I would choose the first one (because that’s my personal taste) and then try to refine the ideas that whent into the first part, because I feel that there is gold in there. Maybe play around with instrumentation to enhance the feeling, i.e. glockenspiel for horrormovietheme or double bass/acoustic bass for more tango…
About the wobbles… I would loose the fast kalashnikov sounding wobbles and save the slower ones, put on som filtering and slap some reverb on them, and see what happens, especially when they become a little more subdued and there is some air between them, and maybe the wobble/bassy elements and the melodic elements complement each other instead of fighting eachother.
I find this set of tunes inspirational:
http://www.official.fm/tracks/ax6g about 8 minutes into the track(s) theres a longer section wich combines a lot of 1930-ish elements with electronica/dubstep and wobbles (and some day, I wish I will become as good as these guys are at making music and using samples and whatnot).
Anyway, keep it up!

I'm with Emm, the intro and drop are like two different tunes. Neither sounds are to my taste but the intro stuff is more interesting than the drop sounds that are quite jarring to the ear after a short time. The frequencies are not nice basically. I think you should either make 2 different tracks or just scrap the project and start something new, that knows what it is.
Emm, had a listen to the link you put up. Eight minutes in is interesting fusion for sure.
