What's missing? New 175Bpm tune

[Apex]

So I just made this, I really like what I've done with it, I just know there's something missing! And I can't really think what.. It seems so obvious, I need someone to give me a bslap and open my eyes, thanks

This is sounding pretty tight actually, I like the kick and snare presence. I feel like it could use some strings... Maybe some that swell up and fade away over the course of a few bars. Actually listening to it more I think it could use a nice sustained melody that comes in around 1:00 that drives it a bit more. Also maybe cut the drums at 1:30, I don't know where you're going to take the track but it felt like a good place to break there. It's sounding great though, finish it! Hope I helped!

At around 105 where the break is you should evolve the sound or throw another instrument in the mix. Example: Use an Atmoshere instument playing a chord. To make that instrument belnd in put a reverb on that channel and the stereo pan at about 50-70% merged. Use the same effect you applied to the drums and snare to fade it in or out. Just my 2 cents

What you put in a song is just as important as what you leave out
