The beginning sounds pretty cool. However, it seems to be lacking a build. It sort of seems like it goes like this.
intro-bu-drop, so basically it's missing a build.
One thing in particular is the mixing. the kick sounds like it's pounding a little too hard. Like my ear is gunna pop or something, try to not focus so much on the low end of a kick. do not bring it up in the eq but rather leave it where it is and bring the other melodic elements low ends down. that way there is more room in the low end of the spectrum for the kick. That's what I do at least, feel free to ignore that.
The drop also seems to be lacking in dynamics. Where are the chords, lead, arp, and ambiance. It's just bass and a little flare lead, which, to me, sorta off puts the song. Contrary to popular opinion, dubstep is not just bass, try to see what you can add in your next song's drop other than bass.
And it sorta just ends...wat. not really a big fan of songs just ending, but you can do it if you want.
All in all, it is an okay song. some things are alright like the arp in the beginning and the bass in the drop wasn't too shappy either. Vocals could use some tweaking but nothing real major. Just try to make things more dynamic. It's hard at first but it should come together once you have a melody down. Just write everything around that and you should be good.
Cheers.
