It's a bit long winded, and you need to do a lot of work on the mixdown. The bassline is way too loud, it drowns out absolutely everything, your kick and percussion are totally lost in the mix.

The whole track sounds a little too much like it's nothing but a loop for 7 minutes, it's missing any real dynamics or a build.

You need to do a lot of work on the arrangement and composition of the track and you should try utilizing more of the filters and effects available in your DAW during your breakdowns.

You should work on the bassline synthesizer even once it's mixed correctly, the LFO modulation on it should be a little steeper to give it more of a pulsing effect; and from what I can tell you used a single synthesizer without a sub bass- this works okay if your kick is super subby but it sometimes sounds better to layer a synth with the higher low end frequencies over something like a simple low sine wave synthesizer that you don't hear as much as you feel.

Good work though; there's potential! Don't call the track done though, I'd keep working on it. For your mixing I recommend using a reference track of a similar style that you can compare your mix with.

Oh totally its not done, although I did say it was finished, but its not done. I do need to work on it more, especially with the balance and all. Im still working on it as im doing most of the mix in my living room with some really bad acoustics and my kids all over the place lol. Thank you for the feedback, this is what I needed.
