Well, TBH, this seems kind of bland. There doesn't really seems to be an established lead, maybe there is, but it is being covered by the other elements of the song. Where are the chords? House music depends heavily on steady and pleasant chord progression, with a steady beat. The beat you made seem sort of off time, or it didn't really seem to fit whats going on. And there doesn't seem to be any sort of progression either, I know this isn't progressive house, but even in a regular house track you have it going somewhere, I'll admit, there was indeed some progression, but it just really doesn't catch my attention. The lead after about 1:20 is barely noticeable, it's called a lead for a reason, It sound be the dominate element in the track, besides the drums and bass it should be the dominate. Also, I think you may have had some trouble with the compression and side chaining, the kick was also barely noticeable after about 1:20, and there is alot of white noise, it sort of drowns the bassline out. Lastly, the melody of the bass starting at about 1:00 just doesn't sound right, sort of like it is misplaced or out of tune. So, honestly, the track could use a pretty major overhaul, That's pretty much what I'm saying. What I'm not saying is that you should give up and call it a day, just keep at it and eventually you will create something of epic proportion. If you need any advice on how to go about it, just PM me, I'm always willing to help, but only if want to.
