claps in intro sound really weak, the track mastering is way too loud and not crisp enough(maybe the 80k/sec) but still the wav form looks like a square, those pads are too imposing and somewhat chaotic for what seems to be a more chillout kind of vibe, loose too much energy in the break and come back into the full with the same patterns...

recomendations: I feel empty after listening to this, where is the catch, the melody, the drive to this song? try a different arrangement, master those sounds, then master the whole track, dont intro with claps, add a main melodic element, or keep it minimal but go techy with the rythms and try to make something progressive. Either way you need to encorporate the kind of soundscapes that are nice to the ears. If your a beginner at production then its a good start, but if you aren't you've got to come up with some inovative sounds.

Yes, a kick can definitely be too loud, and yours is way off the scale! Mixing is the art of subtelty...

This is a bit of an unusual track, it's kind of ambient pink floyd with the loudest kick drum in the world pounding over the top. Not particularly uplifting either. However the soundscape is reminiscent of a new dawn.
