I'm not much into dance music. Just my observations as a listener.
For me, the intro was a bit long with not much happening. I would have started the song around the 34 second point. That gives the pad a few seconds before the kick starts.
Then there is a dramatic drop in level both volume and energy at 44 seconds.... just as you get ready to jump up and dance, it goes low energy and mellow. Around 2 minutes in, it finally hits the level it needs to be with the kick earlier...
I like it at 2:45 but again.... not so much the fade to zero before it. Stop it dead in it's tracks for a split second YES... but not a fade. Then a repeat of the fade at 3:45... then it fades to mellow.....
As an Artistically creative project, I think you did a good job, nice synths and well constructed, but if this is to be a dance song..... nope, I think it missed that mark.
