This is really cool! I really like the main synth you use, very well done. :)

Great vibe to the track. Few things, add a bit of a release to the pad it will fill the empty space without making the mix muddy like extra reverb would. I would also like to hear the pad reintroduced later in the song or add a completely new element. The second drum section feels pretty empty. Overall really good start.
Keep up the good work

The kick at the start is taking way too much space. Good percussion. I'd lower the volume on the finger snap, which is playing alongside the snare in the "drop". Maybe more instrument variation. Good luck!

Between 2:11 and 2:37 that kick sidechain is ducking the volume a tiny bit after some of the notes in some cases - might be a quantisation thing because I didn't notice it anywhere else. You could probably ease off on the sidechain a little too. It's a cool track though, I like the ideas you have going in there.

This is really cool but I think that the kick hits too hard and I would add some more percussion elements to the beat parts, like hi hats, cymbals or whatever. A vocal cut with some reverb could fit in this too
