The kick is too hard hitting for this style of track (too much oomph in the mids, it's really slamming there, and this isn't that style of track). It's a good sample, but it doesn't fit in this track.
The bass groove for the first couple of minutes sounds excellent.
The arpeggio-leady sound that comes in at 2:10 (or maybe 1:50 I guess...Windows media player is giving me weird timings for this track, it changes every time...) sounds okay. It's a bit dry and possibly needs a bit more movement in some way. I'd try a few different sounds, wet it with a reverb some more. I'd change something about it.
That filter out/ fade out sounds too basic. Maybe leave a high background effect/ noise/ wind or something that doesn't filter out with everything else?
The new bass that is introduced when things get going again sounds out of tune to me, which is distracing.
Overall, there are some nice ideas. The main thing for me is the choice of kick sample. With the right sample working with that bassline at the start it'll sound fantastic. Then I'd personally keep working on finding a strong main melody, something that people can hum/sing long after the track has stopped playing. But that's just me.
Keep it up, some nice sounds and ideas here!
