I agree about needing a bassline and possibly wanting to back off the kicks a bit. A little EQ would go a long way. I can almost hear a real bass guitar (run DI) going under that (as in

yeah a subtle bassline could do alot for you...those kicks are hella punchy for the vibe that I am sensing you are trying to get, I would eq those a little differently or back off the compression, just my 2 cents

good work, i like the melody.

Sounds like you have all the parts there if anything maybe increase the volume on your bassline to make it stand out more. Anywho if you still have questions check out this guy he has lots of tuorials that may help.

If you can't get a bass line working change the kick to a long one instead

didnt feel like it needed any more layers. i myself would throw more percussion/hats in there but then again i always try to go for music that bangs. this has a totally different vibe and i enjoyed it like it was.

I don't know what these people are talking about.

You could try looking at adding some transition sounds and effects into the arrangement, but the overall sound is pretty "Full" to me.

Not every track needs to have a ton of sounds layered on top of each other.

Lets see what anyone else believes...
