Some feedback needed on a work in progress

So I could use some feedback on this tune I'm working on. Bear in mind the story is unfinished, so I've not focused on detailed mixing yet.

I've junked a lot of projects, and am slowly trying to get my way towards finishing something to the point it's really worth polishing.

- What sucks?
- What doesn't suck?
- What might I focus on as first priority?
- What might I focus on as secondary priorities?
- Worth finishing as a whole from first impressions?

There are a lot of things I'm not really pleased with but I'm trying to get my priorities straight.

the kick. The drum kick is what drives most forms of electronic/dance music

would have said the melody but for you getting the that bassline talking with the kick..
try just listening to them together? for me I would like them gelling more

Thanks. Trying to learn to be less hard on myself Learning to trust oneself can be difficult.

What would you say regarding the kick that could use improvement?

Also not quite sure how to go about getting the bass talking so much with the other elements? Could you speak more on this? Any input would be awesome. Thanks much.

Thanks for the tip on checking out the kick and bass solo. I'll give that a go.
