I listen to a lot of EDM so keep that in mind as I provide my feedback. First, your concept is pretty interesting and unique which makes it an overall compelling track. The synth melodies seem to work pretty well for dance music and I like the production (even though you didn't ask for feedback on that). I guess the thing that keeps me from wanting to jump out of my seat and dance is that there isn't a lot of movement in the track. It is essentially the same Kick/Hat repeated for the entire duration. Dance tracks need buildups, transitions, drops (I don't mean sick dubstep drops either), and some variation in the percussion to get me out of my seat. I also think the kick could have more of a punch. It is mixed well but doesn't quite have the oopmh I look for in a dance track but that may be a personal opinion. Some of the transitions between Synth Leads are a bit jarring and that may be your intent. But in my opinion, that swift change can really affect your perception of the rhythm even though its the same tempo because your mind immediately needs to understand the new pattern. I hope this didn't come across as harsh because I think the track overall is really cool and I think has a lot of potential.

A technique that I learned from deadmau5's MasterClass that has really helped me in terms of my arrangement is to create a 4 or 8-bar loop and keep adding elements to the loop until you have reached its "peak" or full sound. Then you create the rest of your track around that loop by subtracting elements and adding them back in over time. It probably sounds like a "cookie-cutter" method of building a track but you will be really surprised at the ideas that can come out from creating a simple 16 or 32-bar progression from that loop.
