The sidechaining you've got on the kick is a bit too harsh, it's sucking too much out of the rest of the tune when it hits. Bass sound is nice, but lacks a bit of weight to get it really going...liking the extra percussion that is added at 1m55s, adds some good variety for the second half of the beat.

do you have your kick reverbed? or expanded?
it`s coming from the outside not centered.
Slam it into mono

Finally got around to sorting that track out, should sound a bit better than it did:

that`s sounding waaay better.
The kick is still a bit muffled at points but it is worlds better.
The bass synth could be fattened up a bit and possibly turned down some, it takes over a bit.
When the sub pulse comes in at 2:14 or so it`s sounding good, once the bass comes back in the sub is very soft.
The addition of the stabs in the second section is nice, the bass synth once again just overpowers.
Not bass overpowering, just the synth itself that`s too loud.

I actually took the sub out, probably why the bass sounds a bit thin, but it was really muddying the whole mix, i just couldn't get it to sit right, maybe i should take it down a notch and then try to boost the lows a bit. Thanks for the feedback.

nice track mate :) nice drums, nice wobble and overall just enjoyed listening to it, the mid sounds in the intro are really catchy and hold interest until the drop. breakdown is quite interesting too you have some nice sounds and know how to use em, what do you use to produce?

Thanks man, i'm glad you like it. I use Logic, the plugs that come with it and a few freeware synths, nothing fancy.
