First of all, excellent job! I enjoyed it.
Now, I would consider myself in NO WAY to be an expert on making dubstep, but here's a few of my thoughts:
The drop seemed to happen quite suddenly, there wasn't much buildup to it.
Also, the drop itself seemed a bit un-intense. Perhaps having some more crashes in there and a few less kicks would make it seem heavier. But that, I suppose, is just personal preference.
Perhaps, also, adding some harmony to the main melody would let you add some variation during the "verse" bits.
Other than those things, which are mostly preference choices anyway, you did a very good job! I hope to hear more music from you.
I'm monumentally lazy and don't tend to upload much. Welcoming to critique!

Hey thanks! I'll definitely try some of those suggestions and see how they work out on my next track!

The drop is a bit empty. Perhaps you could fill it in more. Layer it (place the same sound an octave down or something), add a bit of white noise, some soundgoodizers (if you use FL Studio), add more percussion and treble. Other than that, you could probably master the song (if you haven't already) as well. It sounds really good

This is... really good. I actually kind of like how the drop doesn't punch you in the face. Instead, it rushes forward with brutality. The verses do feel a little empty, but that can be fixed with some nice pads. Also, the chopping of the vocals could use some work. They don't stutter to the beat. Your sound design is great, so it would be awesome if you layered some long, distorted, and sidechained bass notes over the drop to make it sound more chaotic. Of course, if you don't feel you can mix that too well, you don't have to try it. Otherwise, great work!

P.S. You made dnb. This is drumstep: (Coincidentally MY first track too)

First off thank you! and opps you're totally right it is dnb lol whatever I was aiming for something like that. :] Also I really do like the pads suggestion. That could give it some more depth that it needs. This was my first time chopping vocals but I might go back and play with it some more and see what I could come up with for like a VIP or something. :D

oh and btw, your track has some serious sub bass O.O haha
