Hi there!

Just my opinion, I think it lacks aggressiveness More harshness, more leads that are aggressive sounding, squelches, fast pitch ramps, etc., to balance and contrast with what you have already put down

You have a nice saw lead that is closely the same throughout the entire tune, where you add a bunch of reverb on certain parts. Maybe you could work a bit more on this, like render the first section to audio and let it be, then switch up the sound a bit on the VSTi or subsequent VST's, and then render this as a second part, and there one.. this will leave you with a bunch of different layers of the same "synth line", and you could play / mix between these throughout the tune, making the synth line progress more info something else

Drum wise, the cymbals are very low.. they should have more power to drive the rhythm and make people dance I can barely hear (ears are not what they used to be) any 16th notes going on, and not much contrast between an open and closed hat.
And it seems the other cymbals are missing all together - I just love to line up 4 to 8 different crash and splash and FX and whatnot cymbals into a drum sampler, all on the white keys, and pass through the entire tune once while pressing rec, and playing the cymbals as I most like, with no quantation If too loud or soft or out of time, I can then micro adjust the recorded midi line. This helps define the structure of a tune, and if you hear some of those glitchy stuff like ajax syndrom or absolum or kindzadza, a lot of those "time breaks" effects are simply achieved by cleaver manipulation of the drums, where the cymbals are paramount for creating these interruptions and redefining where the beat drops.
