i like that style, lots of effects and still with nice melodies!. it's a bit different than the usual stuff, and thats a good thing.
i just gave it a quick listen and some of the following things could be just my opinion.
-the buildup at 1:35 sounds quite dramatic, but is followed by a break. imho that breaks the flow a bit. (a similar thing happens again later at 4:55)
-the bass sounds a bit narrow/weak/muddy. maybe give it a bit less sustain/cutoff? or faster decay on the filter env? or eq differently? i can't tell exactly with these speakers. making it a bit wider in the stereo field would also be nice.
-some of the (high) percussion/effects are too loud in the mix, but that could be my speakers... (and that whistle-like thing sounds a bit cheesy to MY ears )
-you use the speech sample a bit too often
i hope i haven't been to hard on you, i like the track!

Very nice music mate I'm digging the style all the way. Sure you have some Tweaking to do, to my opinion sounds like you might be using too much processing. Try to get the cleaner sound you are looking for without using EQ's etc.
And again first thing is first work on the grooves and then focus on getting a clean mix.
Cheers!

^without using EQ , are you serious? EQ is probably the most important plug in to get a good mix. Better forget all others but not EQ btw I like this compositio too. Very nice and busy sound.

Wrong section dude u should post sound samples at the workshop. other then that nice ideas and sounds remind me a little bit of MFG about the song structuring i didnt feel the 'story' u know. the flow sometimes 'stuck' for me like not going anywhere. i like the style and i think u can make it better good luck!
