You'll want to do some research into EQing, compression, and mixing in general. This tune is fairly simple in terms of composition, so it's harder to hear the missteps in the mixing process, but one it particular stood out to me: the kick drum is kinda dumpy. Compression and EQ will beef it up a bit, and allow you to give it a bit more punch, and it'll also make it feel like it has a more consistent volume throughout the tune. The hats could also use some boosting in the 8-9 kHz range, so they stand out a bit more. High shelving the leads down a tad (just a tad) will also help.

Compositionally, like I said, the tune is very simple. There's nothing wrong with that, especially if you're just starting out, and some people get pretty far with very simple tunes, but there's a lot more you can be doing.

Consider doing more with your transitions: risers and fills preceding transitions can do wonders for making your tune work well.

Consider employing more than one theme. A B section allows you to bring down the energy a bit without necessarily having to use a breakdown, and the transition from B back to A is always really satisfying.

Trance percussion isn't always super complex, but it's always nice to have some cool details. Try adding in elements that, rather than looping every bar, loop every 2, 4, or 8 bars. This makes each eight bar segment between transitions more interesting, and holds the listener's ear for much longer than the same repetitive, oonts oonts oonts oonts.

As the guy above me said.

But still a good idea and a great melody. I like it. You should just do some fixes. with the Kick and maybe other Percussions. Good luck!
