It's Missing Something. Please Help. New Song

I've been super busy with non music stuff lately, but I did manage to pump out a song.

It's a long club mix, so... It isn't really interesting till about a minute in.

Please let me know what y'all think.

Hey ya tracks not bad. I think the kick could be much fatter and upfront if its ment for a club mix. Also i think it needs some sort of filtersweeping through it to give a bit more movement and empasis on certain parts. I guess your trying to go for that big airy sound there? Some hella big reverb would sound good IMO. Also sweeping white noise or airy pads quietly through it maybe? . Also sweeping noise up into the drops etc. The main drops not very creative either really you could do summat fancier there as its the penultimate moment of the track.
lol bit picky aint I but i hope its helpfull

youre a good musician, however
1. the main lead is kind of... not good
2. you have a gate sublead that annoys me :P

as for the good points, i dont really need to tell you but
the beat is very good
the sound is very very good overall: consistent and leveled
i like the fx, ie. the stereo delay on lead

i think the melody itself is boring and even more boring :/
what can i say? make a new melody
i know this isnt what you want to hear, but this quality -
you can do much better

I dont really like the first melody. Also agree that the kick could stand out a bit more, maybe a boost around 60-80 hz would help.
2:45 is pretty nice. Good layering with the gated pad.
Nice "cold" pads and plucks during the breakdown, otherwise I think there could be a little more going on. It's an ok break but maybe you can add something to make it special.
5:20 nice transition to the main theme. The layering of melodies on this one is pretty good. The melodies themselves need maybe a little more attention, maybe some automation or more dynamics, to add a human touch.
Also I think that something about the percs is uninteresting, maybe a little variation in rythm? I dont know.

Well done overall though!
