Hi there. Sounds pretty good so far!
There are a few things that don't sound good to my ears though.
The kick i'd make a little more punchy and a bit shorter or snappier.
or maybe it is the combination with the bass that makes it feel a bit odd. the bass does have a bit of a hollow character. Maybe add a bit of eq boost around 300-700 to see if that sounds better. Or add some paralellel distortion around that to fill it up a little bit.
The midhigh to highs of the track seem it a bit loud to my ears. Pul the mid/high sounds back a little bit i'd say, but not the hats.
On arrangement: it is very full with sounds all the time. Maybe try to create some emptier parts which will give the track and people some time to breathe.
In total: good effort! You'll get there

The base sounds good. I agree with supergroover tho with the kick.
Nice vibe man, Bouncy as prog should be.
Im listening to absolute crap headphones so cannot comment mix really.
The swirling sound at 4.23 seems kind of loud and seems like it need some eq.
Maybe you could transform some sounds you use for a longer time to get it even more interactive.

Galaxy Machine- thank you so much for the feedback!
well its embarrassing...i don't have "monitors" or even a descent sound card ...i'm using my default onboard sound card and a "so-so" pair of sony headphones to make music..i do occasionally keep checking up with a pair of old speakers from a Philips hi-fi system, (pretending them to be my monitors ).

Hey don't be ashamed to be using cheap headphones! I have been using cheap headphones for years, you just need to know them well. I don't have monitors too...
