terrible. I don't know why people add shitty wobbles directly on top of songs and call it a remix.
edit: the beat and the groove fit the song. Maybe with alot more mixing and doing more with the original this could be good.

Lol you took that well man. I don't know what you want to do with it stylistically but here are some ideas:
The original song needs to be way louder in the mix and that crazy reverb needs to be taken off of it. alot of times if you're straight dropping a song directly into your project you're going to have to narrow the stereo image to get it to fit with the new stuff you add.
after narrowing it, i personally like to send the narrowed image to another channel and re-expand it heavily EQed to give it a bit of depth in a way that won't interfere with whatever i'm adding to it.
Personally i'd like to hear the wobble narrowed a bit and have the original song placed in front of it, then switch up after you've cut out the original song.
I don't know the technical term, but that part of the song where its all your stuff goes on too long, shorten it a bit, and if you can snag an instrumental bit throwing a couple quick samples of it into your breakdown (or whatever its called) part of it would be good.
Actually yeah this could be pretty good with a bunch of work.
edit: Yo sorry. I can't predict how your mix will come out with the origonal brought back up, and i tend to think of everything in terms of stereo. Once you've done some of the stuff i mentioned, you're still probably gonna need other people's opinions on the mixdown/structuring.
personally i like the structure considering its a short little track.
