yea nice work indeed, clean and nice flow, somehow the mix aint clean at around 1:10 and little before and after,,, some of the sounds r interfering with eachother,making the kick/bass little less audible at times, u need to chk ur mix there ,otherwise nice 1, complete it! and keep at it,sounding nice till now

Hey Glitchin,
It's not EQ, you need to set the levels a little better. not all sounds need to be up front. Some sounds are naturally in the background.
Imagine a live band playing, 4 musicians.
Drums at the back, Bass at the far left, Guitar and the front right, and vocals in the middle. Now translate that to your song.
The kick needs to be in front, with the bass singing along with it. Percs and other drums need to be in the back, where the drums are. the extra sound and sfxs are all guitars and bass guitars, they need to be behind the kick and bass. now i'm not saying the kick and bass need to be above everything, just that it needs more focus. your drums are at the same level as the kick, and your bass is hiding in the background. your sfxs take center stage. Just lower the volumes, combine all similar sounds to group busses, and eq those groups with a bass cutting eq.
So now to the musical side. The song is lacking focus. you're trying to do too much. You don't need so many elements in your track, just a focus. Right now it switches from fullon to goa to something else. and while those separate moments sound good (at least musically), you need a focus, some idea to drive your song. So on to another metaphor: Imagine a movie set. you have the actors, the sound people, illumination people and the director. Everyone is driven by the director. if you took him out of there, something cool will happen, but with NO focus. You need those elements, but you need one driving force to unite everything into a coherent scene.
I hope you got everything, feel free to ask if you didn't. (not on private though, my account is all messed up and i can't access it)

sounding good mate!
Yeah Pink is right with not everything having to be upfront.
at like 2:20 there is a woooonnnnnhhhhh sound and the bass and kick duck to it, do you have this sidechained? Or maybe i am not hearing it right, but I dont think the low end should not duck there. It does it again at 3:09.
Also synth or something at 3:40 has too much bass, makes muddy, then when it all kicks back in at 3:42 it doesn't have big balls by comparison.
Also at 4:10 the low end is delayed in coming in and it detracts a bit from the effect.
Your sounds are really good though!
One last thing, It is really up to you on this one, but symmetry is a big thing for me im a bit OCD about it, but yeah there are some of your perc sounds and if it were me i would put a stereo delay on them and put them in the stereo field in a symmetrical manner not just pan them. This i think will make the mix more symmetrical if that is important to you. I hear symmetry in the majority of music.
Very cool track man keep up the good work! look forward to hearing more from you!
