ah I thought u meant das boot the film 
i like this but i think the bass needs more sub/needs to be meatier sounds a bit too much like a distorted bass guitar preset
edit: heres some 'meaty' bass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCm1BEgQTW8
Nah I prefer it the way it is, not all bass has to be "meaty", it definately ain't a preset, I programmed/created everything, kicks/snare/hi hat myself but not the vocals obviously, and I do have distortion/bitcrusher effects with that bassline, it's just the way I like it.
When you write "needs" do you mean in your opinion? Or speaking professionally? Cuz speaking professionally it's spot on what I wanted actually, I tried a "thicker" sound whilst doing the effects/EQ and compression for the bass and it honestly sounded horrible.
I like your criticism though, one of the weird things about producing music myself, is being able to listen to music and "breaking down" the elements of that song, I can listen to most electro music now, and I know instantly how to programme any lead now, I can't explain it, I just know how to, same with percussion, and sometimes I hear a great song, but I still "think" it "needs" changes, like i'd personally find it a little more self-satisfying if the kick had a little EQ boost around 75kz-85kz instead of 90kz-100kz, or the clap/snare had a small peaked boost around 200kz-230kz, or a lead needs to be layered more even though it sounds good enough all on its own.
I've done a SHITLOAD of research on proper compression/EQ and I think it's beginning to pay off.
My favourite thing about this clip is the percussion, it's sounds so simple yet, the kick is a mixture of 4 different sounds mixed together with ever so slightly different EQ levels/effects all compressed together, the snare is 6 different sounds, the hi hat 3.
It took me 2 hours JUST for that, then 2-3 hours for the rest cuz I am faster at programming synths and already have what I want in my head.
I just listened to that song, and on my speakers, "flat frequency" monitors, my bassline actually sounds better in my opinion, that song actually sounds so damn boring to me lol, well, it's nice, to chillout too, but I prefer more energetic mental music that gets me bouncin, example, I love skrillex/datsik/Deadmau5, yes I am new to dubstep, so what lol.
