I have quite a bit to say
first off, I don't agree with the comment above, I think the intro was fine in length and I liked the percussion, however the pad would have been MUCH better with sidechain compression.
The first breakdown was really nice IMO
good job on it.
These are the things that I think need some improving:
1.) The kick and beat (not referring to the intro). The kick doesn't have the usual progressive house character... it is very punchy but it's not the right kind of progressive house punch. (I would suggest you check out deadmau5's sample pack Xfer). The beat really needs a snare or a clap and you should use more high hats, shakers and percussive fills.
2.) The synths and sound design. I feel like everything needs more dimension, try adding some reverb and more filters
As for the synths, they didn't all fit together I can't really give you any useful tips on this because it is a problem I often have too. But I would focus more on the bass and lead (maybe use a plucky lead which does wonders with reverb)
3.) I think the melody is fine to listen to harmonically, but it needs some more tension in
the progression. Try using some different chords that make an interesting melody along with the bassline
Some extra small things would be using more FX and adding more tension in the arrangement. I did like the arrangement though
I suck at arrangements haha
I would really appreciate it if you could give me some critical feedback on my progressive house track:
