This is just a tip but try using high-pass filters on each instrument to filter out the lows you don't need, thereby reserving them for the kick and bass.

I usually agree with the above comment, but I don't think it affects much on your track. Maybe minorly to get rid of random bass sounds, but overall your synths don't seem to be hitting too low. Kick drum is quiet though, I think it needs to be turned up..and to give your track a more driving feel, I think you should sidechain like half of the synths in the track (minorly sidechain, dont want a really loud pumping effect) - just enough to make the kick drum punch more. I think its a good outline for a track though, it sounds good so far!

edit: the end of the buildup definitely needs more in it though. It sounds pretty boring and the noise sweep up is kinda lame. Not lame sounding, but its really short, and kinda rises even after the drop? And its pretty loud. I think you should do more rising effects quieter, instead of one loud one. And perhaps buildup to the 3rd beat of the last measure right before a drop, and have some sort of huge snare or clap on the 4th beat, then it goes into the drop. Those always sound good, haha.
ssssssSSSSSSHHHHH *pause* CLAP drop. Feel me? It is a bit cheesy I guess but, crowds love it, and always will. And it sounds cool anyways.

thanks for reply guys and yea kasmira i know what u mean about the drums and the sweep FX. Those are just fillers for now and in fact i just grabbed em out of the loop bin i got so, once i fix the melody up and the bass i little more - then ill start giving the drums some more attention.
