The overall mixdown sounds a little bit messy, how much did you compress the overall track?
Or maybe you like the sound of it, but then I would add some parallel compression on the elements that you want to be compressed instead of compressing the master.
But if you want to have it loud, I would look into "soft-clipping", which is basically what all the big DnB producers use to get their stuff loud (from what I've learned).

There's a bit of mid frequencies that I'm missing, right now it sounds like it's mostly bass and treble with a scoop in the mids, while this might sound cool on your speakers, there's a lot of sound-systems (phones, mp3-players or hi-fis) that add bass, treble and compression to the sound, so if you're mixing down your track it would be better to keep the sound fairly neutral.

(So I wouldn't go for the hi-fi sound, but for a more neutral sound)

I really like the synths you programmed for this track. I'm a big fan of FM-basslines, what did you use for that?
The overal "flow" of the track is very nice, super catchy. The beat fits perfectly with the rest in the track.
Clearly there's a lot of attention to detail, with all the little fx and sounds in the background. It keeps me engaged. And you're doing this with only one motif essentially, good job!

SilentShadow97 responds:

Compression wise I've compressed (Fruity Limiter) certain instruments/synths separately depending on what I felt needed it and popped a maximizer (Maximus) on the master, maybe I was messing with the mids a little too much. Glad you liked it overall, these are the types of comments that mean a lot to me, thank you! :)

Nice job. Nice synths. It kinda reminds me of the synths from the 80s'

SilentShadow97 responds:

Thanks dude :)
