I'd say there's three things that you need to look at first.

1. BASS - seems to be an almost compleate lack of bass in most of your tracks, in particular subbass which is vital to make a dubstep track work

2. The Kickdrum sound that you use has no weight behind it. sounds a little too like a casio 8 bit keyboard kick

3. the structure of you tracks would make them hard to mix as they don't have a proper intro. have a listen to some club ready dubstep tracks and notice how they will almost always have a 32 or 16 bar intro. try structuring you songs around other tracks (same length intro, main sections and breakdowns) to give you an idea how to structure a solid track!

just a few pointers to be going on

i know a good quality subbass is missing from them, and thats solely due to the fact that i cant make a good one work. on top of the fact that even if i did i dont have the proper speakers to hear it anyway :? but ive been messing around with stuff so i think im on the right track in regards to the subbass.

and i completely feel you on your description of the kick.

thanks a lot for the input
