I can just hear the pontential in this one... but I feel like if you spent just a little more time on it it could be a real gem.

what exactly do I need to improve on?

Your sonar blip synth could stand to come down a lot. Good sidechaining, but for a track that's supposed to be progressive I was expecting something like your other works with the huge chord buildups. Sounds like a pretty decent party track, though. Reminds me of will.i.am's production in some weird way. If you cut out the blip it could probably be a top40 instrumental with a bit of cleanup on the drums.

DISCLAIMER: this all just personal preference:

Put more meat into the drums at the beginning, the bass seems to be lacking. Around 45 seconds, the chord sounds I'd make a bit stabbier (faster attack) and maybe layer a piano underneath. Maybe up to the drop, make the chords hit every beat, just to make it more lively.
At the drop at 1:30 I'd change the lead synth to something meaner and less laid back, and make the melody it's doing dance around in the chording more throughout the section.

There's some random ideas to stir the brain cells.
