It's alright actually, bit dry though

Could you elaborate?

Sorry, I meant reverb-wise and stuff. Make it wetter!
In general, that bass needs more lowpassing because it's too prominent in the mix, you could take the midrange out of it to so you've just got the bass to feel it and the treble to 'perceive' it (not consciously hear, but know it's there - about 10/12kHz+ I reckon). The bass also feels a bit stiff, like compressed, so, if you're clipping it or using distortion or anything, just use basic waveforms and/or a ring mod for harmonics.
The levels are generally really good, but I think it would be good if you pushed the bass towards the back of the mix to make it less prominent. Other things sound well-placed in the front-back dimension (i.e. reverb wetness, gives perception of depth) but are too quiet, like that twinkly echoing synth that sparkles around occasionally is a great sound but could be louder (maybe mess around with the left-right dimension so different sequences come out of different places).
Drums are great too, maybe the kick is too loud but you could low pass it to make it prominent if you really want.

Thanks a lot for the comments! Was really looking for some in-depth feedback on this sir so big up yourself!

Anytime. To be honest since I've started producing I've got a little better at analysing tracks and it's good practice giving feedback because if people make the changes I recommend I can hear the results

I agree, needs to be moistened up a bit, and maybe a few more reverby pads or effects to thicken it up a bit.
Other than that, sounds pretty alright!

I agree, I've gotten better at it but I think my problem is that I get "too close" to my tracks so it becomes hard to find faults in it since I've created it from scratch if you get me?
Thanks a lot for the feedback guys, done a bit of tweaking and I've made the bass, hats, snare/clap wetter and the synthy stuff more prominent in the mix. I'll upload a re-done clip soon
