make the 1st breakdown a bit shorter.
Could be that computer speakers are not up to scratch but might need some more bassline action from 2.00 onwards.
Make the synths more evil from 2.50 onwards, maybe some wobble or FX.

Lol its defo ur speakers.... the sub in it is ridiculous... i need to remove loads of sub if im honest.

i may give a go of some LFO modulation on the synths later on.

but u need to get some decent headphones and re asses the bass line action ...

cheers for the input

If it were my track I'd do the following:

to be honest i tried that but because i used a saw wave not sign for grit... anythin higher doesnt sit right... i dont want the sub to come throo... its only for movement... just needs to be less i think, some compression stuff... ids muddying stuff atm.

again, this ison the cards but dynamics need to be the last thing so they sit right & i have some weird plans for that first break... but ye it defo needs work

this is more to do with the FX rather than the kick itself... as we know if we want somethin to stand out more we take away from everything around it rather than add to it.

but i shall give the hats a glance as u suggested.

cheers
