This is the first dubstep track i've written, still a work in progress. What do you think about it? I haven't started any mastering, but does the progression sound good?

Sorry, not a big fan of this :P
Pretty bad, sorry.
Just use this information when producing:
Would it hold a party?
Would people actually dance to it?
Does it make you bob your head when you re-listen to it over and over?
You need to consider these things.
This song is kind of cool, it's got waaaay too much low end, the synths are pretty generic, and the drums are REALLY basic.
It has no melody, therefore feels boring, and I found it difficult to keep listening to.
It sounds like you put in a decent amount of effort though, mainly judging by the length of the song, and the dynamics of the synths.
Decent first try, but you seriously need to start reading up on specific stuff.

Aight, after sleeping on it and listening to the track with fresh ears, I can hear a lot of what your saying. I'm gonna keep working on it, cause I personally really like the flow (it makes my head bob a lot - even after 50 plays through). I'll post an updated version when I make significant changes, but in terms of melody, what do you think about this little clip?

One thing I don't understand though - what makes you say that the drums are basic? I put more time into the percussion than anything and I think it ends up sounding really intricate. To your ear, what's it lacking?
Initial feel of the song is cool, but the drums are quite boring TBH.
Also, there a certain sound that seems out of pitch.
