Welcome back! :D

Okay right at the start, I'm loving the intro. That buildup is great, the bass could be a bit heavier though at 0:32, but it's fine as it is. The kick could use some heavier sidechaining to the bass, it's getting drowned out. Actually, drums in general could be more noticeable. Holy shit, I love the breakdown at 1:20. You did a great job changing the mood throughout the whole song, you kept it from being repetitive while maintaining a static theme. 2:08 would've been a great place to add in another instrument, it feels like some kind of bass or arp would fit in there to make it more unique. The outro is pretty solid too.

Overall, I really loved the layout of the whole thing, and I liked a lot of the sounds you used. Only thing I think could use some work is the mixing. Some of the instruments fight for room in the song, and the drums are barely noticeable. You usually want your drums to be the loudest instruments in the entire thing, they can really make a difference in the general mood of the song. And also, sidechaining. It would do magic to this, especially since you have a pretty solid party-ish atmosphere.

I'm definitely loving it though, I can't wait to see more stuff from you :3

thanks for a solid critique, ive been trying to figure out mastering for awhile now and literally am having no luck with it xD and i totally agree with everything you had said on that
Actually as we speak im working on a dubstep track, with more structure and focus on melody/intro/effects than ive had on any of my tracks before! :D
