Some things i noticed:
Everything sounds soft and padded - definitely not the effect you should be going for with a hard-house tech song. Get some compression happening on your drumkit, ESPECIALLY during the pumping parts of the song. There are some greeat anthem-y parts that need mastering and compression and volumizing. You've got some elements that are really grating on the ears....and there's no "gratifying" point to go with them. It's ok to have suspense and tease us a little bit with some weak-sounding lines and some droning noise....but we want the volume to rammmmpppppppppppPPPPPPPPPPPP and then SMACK you with one of those huge lead parts.
Clarity is key for your track - everything's all blended and too mellow. With time you'll figure out how to compress e and bring sounds out in the mix - variation and naturalism is key (what i mean is recording things like manual pitch bends, filter changes, frequency mods, etc. by what sounds good to you as if you had a hardware synth in front of you and you were tweaking knobs and buttons and stuff). Subtle stuff like that adds immense power and drive to a song if used correctly.
Fatten your leads, clear up your drums and possibly layer more drums on top during the HARD parts. Don't get frustrated by your talents either - remember that most artists in the music scene are at least 35+.
Good luck
