That bass is CHUNKY.  Love it!  The only thing that really stood out that I would address is the hats.  During the drop, the rapid hats start to fatigue me a bit.  To me it sounds as if they’re sitting on top of the mix, instead of being part of it.  When I have rapid fire hats like that, what I like to do is put a slight sidechain on them, to give them a little variation and some movement.

This one had me moving and grooving in the studio.  It sounds to me like the high end is lacking though.  Perhaps boost the highs on the hats, or maybe add some white noise sweeps here and there to fill out that top space.  The lead at 4:11 is super cool, but I think it’d build more anticipation if you teased it just a little throughout the first half.

This is super cool.  I love the warpy bass movement, not something you see in house a lot.  Definitely can hear the DNB influence in this.  It juxtaposes really nicely with the chilled out synths and textures. I don’t really have anything to add that hasn’t already been addressed.  This sounds release ready to me!
