Interesting mood at the beginning. The synth bass makes it sound really heavy and dark. Maybe you should've used some more reverb on the drums to enhance that effect. The frantic treble-range synths add a somewhat mysterious vibe to the piece. It progresses really slowly. Structurally, this piece is not quite complete IMO. There are no predominant melodies/refrains, and it gets really repetitive by the end. The texture is relatively thin as well. You need some sort of breakdown or re-intro to keep your listener grounded. Otherwise, it kind of has the feel of a really minimalistic, drone-like ambient track, and I don't think that's what you were going for. The ending also isn't that conclusive; I think it would serve better as a loop. The mixing isn't bad, but it's also hard to mess up the mixing when you only have 3 or 4 instruments in the entire piece. You could've done A LOT more with this piece. As it is now it's a bit bland. It almost sounds like a 3.5-minute-long intro to what could become a really cool track. I'd encourage you to take more risks with your music in the future. Keep working at it, IslandJump1. ;)
