    I like it but it is very common in that the EDM theme and production is familiar. 
    With your mix, I think you have too much in the 400hz range. If you listen with -400hz and maybe -800hz, you could bring the overall level up and make it sound cleaner and punchier IMO. 
    It's good for what it is and I could not do as good. But, you want to bring the listener into it  and not just skim over it if you know what I mean.

    Nice job - it's a good mix and it made me want to dance. I just need a good looking woman to accompany me

    Classic EDM style track, has a nice pumping beat to this one. A good suggestion by Rimshot, which I would certainly consider.

    A bigger dip at 400Hz absolutely gave it a more defined contour. I think that another problem is that one of the bass layer is a little bit out of intonation ...after listening to it freshly in the morning i had that weird feeling where i had to "decode" what I'm hearing...
    Rimshot, you mentioned that  "you want to bring the listener into it  and not just skim over it if you know what I mean. ". I'm not really sure what do you refer to ... Is is not engaging, or I'm going too fast through themes ?

    Great job.  Love the panning, the delays, the filtering, the snare sound, and of course the sidechaining on the bass.  I can't tell that there's too much in the 400 hz range; I don't know what I'd even listen for to discern that.  Do your synth patches have delays synced to the master tempo, or do you convert the unprocessed synth parts to audio and then add the delay?  I suspect it'd be difficult to write this style if the delays weren't already part of the synth patches.

    mrpippy2...yes, all delays are from the synths patches and they are all synced to the grid.

    Just wanted to say I listened. Everyone else has probably covered what you could do to take it to the next level.
