bassline movement's distracting in the intro, the kick disappears in the drop (sidechain the low-end of your sub to duck for the kick, you'll have to trim your kick sample)
Also WHERE DO THE HI HATS GO? they keep disappearing and the whole track just feels filtered except that ambient synth line.
:( You need some high-end rhythm to give the bassline something to groove to, you keep it there for a good deal of the track but when they're gone its really hard to find something to go along with because the bassline's so soft-attacked/legato.
ooother than that, good work man, I dig the arrangement and the ideas behind this are pretty sick, I'd love to hear it all polished up!

Even though I'm 4 months late to the party because I hardly check this, I'll comment anyways!
Thanks for the criticism! If I would've actually read this in time I'm sure I could've made the track sound about.. 200x better haha. Aaaand for the record this was back when I was still getting used to making dubstep, so it isn't the best song ever. :P

Interesting track, but a few suggestions I have to help:
The drums are really flat. They need to be huge, punchy, full of life and body. Stack the drums up heavily and make sure to EQ properly to highlight the ranges they're meant to exist in, and cut the ones that they're not. Reverb to the whole drum rack gives them a more "fluid" and "together" feel in my opinion, but that's optional. It just makes them sound liek they were in the same room when being played. Also the cymbals / hats sound a bit... strange. I can't really give a technical description of it...
The melody is a bit monotonous and very robotic. It doesn't have a lot of groove. It's just a weird climby kind of thing that moves around the root note. In Dubstep, chord progressions are less important if you are making a really heavy brostep banger, but more so when you wanna follow more traditional music or remix lyrics.
The drop. It's okay but it's arranged in a strange layout. It loses its groove even more here. It's just boom here's this sound, then here's another one thats totally unrelated for x bars. It really should flow more with the music.
I won't say anything about repetition, because electronic music is notoriously repetitious so that's not really an issue.
I hope more is produced though, and I hope this helped!

The sounds are nice. It's loud and EQ'd pretty well I think. I think the kicks and snares are a bit meh though. My favorite parts are the parts leading to the drops and the EQs used on the synths. So far I like it, and perhaps a revised version or VIP would be perfect for this piece :3
