I think you have a lot of good ideas in this track, but I think you have a bit too many ideas that you're trying to put into this track. There's a general arrangement, but there's not really much cohesion between them and the sections sort of start and stop without any kind of warning.
I would look for 1 or 2 songs that you think feel similar to your song - i'm sure there are some R&B or chill trap tracks that have the vibe you're going for - and bring them into your DAW in the same session as this project. Take some time to examine how those songs are put together, and compare them directly with your own track. Ask yourself what they're doing that you like that you're currently not doing. Ask what they're doing that you like that you are doing. Ask what they're not doing that you are doing, and what you're doing that they're not doing. Most importantly, ask yourself why those things are different or the same.
These questions can apply to any part of the track, from the composition to the instrumentation to the arrangement to the mixdown and the mastering. That feedback will honestly help you out just as much as having a second person listening and telling you what they think, because the other person in this scenario is the guy or girl who wrote the song you're referencing.
feedback would be greatly appreciated. also what kind of genre would this be called in your guys opinion

Not a bad kick sample, but I would shorten it up some with either some compression work, or just lessen the "out" on the tail end of the sample. I really like when the snare comes in at 0:32, it's a good sample and gives the loop that extra 'pop' that progressive house/minimal tracks are known for.
Really like the bass that comes in at 1:04, though I would lay off that ride hat playing over and over again. I think it gets in the way of the other elements, and takes away some from the mix in general.
I wasn't expecting such an industrial feel, but I really like the direction you took with this track. It is very old-mau5, and I think it's mixed pretty well. Work on bringing out those synths more - other than the fact that they were subdued a bit in the mix, I liked them quite a bit. The industrial vibe was unique and worked well with the percussion!
thanks for the feedback homie 
in ableton it doesn't sound as loud. I think it happened because I used Landr to master it but I totally get what you mean. I think instead of panning I might try to use the phaser effect to make some more room or just ultimately turn it down. will go into it a bit later and adjust that pad. Off to the next idea.
