hey man,
i think the kick needs changing out - it seems quite hollow at the moment and the kick / bass relationship isnt working too well. if i was you i would make the kick slightly punchier and mould the bass around it. i also notice parts of the bass are poking out - try a compressor to tame those peaks - set it up so only on the notes which peak up are being pushed back down.
i do like those washy pads you have going on but yeh like i said the drum track needs some work.
The break is cool with them little plucks. what i did notice about the break is there is absolutely no low end energy for quite some time - not having low frequencies present for too long can kinda lose the feeling of a track - i once watched a 7 Skies video (who is pretty much a genius at producing haha) and he said something like 'if there is no low frequency energy for 15 seconds - youve lost them!' (or something like that)
So id first focus on getting a punchier and tighter kick / bass relationship and then a good drum mix. The atmospheres n stuff are sounding cool thus far.
