Hey welcome to the BMS Music Production Forums! Make an introduction in the introduction thread if you haven't already. Also, you need to make this into your artist thread! (If I'm missing something, feel free to add).

You should really upload your songs to a website like mediafire.com so the quality sounds better. I like the title :P. I like the chords you used but the snare is horrid. Using a clap would be a lot better. I can't judge you on mixing because I suck at it myself. Are you using side chain on the pads or is just everything loud? Not really liking that saw lead, seems a bit dry but overall, Pretty cool but the ending is a bit abrupt.

I know there are some FL users as well as Reason and some other stuff. I personally use FL, it's fun and easy to use!

The pads sound pretty nice. The kick definitely needs more presence in the mix, mainly volume. It does sound like the pads were sidechained. The snare gets pretty old quickly. I also think it would hurt to get a wider variety of hats; what you have here are bare basics and they would really fill some frequency gaps I'm hearing. Aside from that everything sounds good mang.

trance as a whole has taken a decidedly electro turn in the past year, but the style which that video focuses on has kinda stayed the same. i never continued that "let's make a beat" series, i should think about it again one of these days.
