Worked this one quite a bit, definitely one of my most solid mixes to date.

Won't grumble much about the composition, it's up to artist after all. I just don't like these extremely speeded up vocals (from original 123 to ~175 BPM), therefore the genre choice is questionable to me.
Regarding the mixdown:
Main drums (kick + snare) - ok.
Percussion (hats, cymbals etc.) - bloody mess. It's a common problem, so

Luckily, there's an easy solution - simply decrease the sustain through any VST that deals with transients (I'm using Alloy 2 for that purpose).
Sub Bass - not deep and a bit boomy, which is actually bad.
Mid Bass - generic dnb mid bass, not much to say.
Lead - barely hearable, I'd suggest turning up the volume a bit or revising the equalization (or better both).
Pads - can't hear 'em during the drop due to percussion massacre. During the transition parts they sound a bit dirty, nothing EQing can't fix though.
Overall mixdown - 6/10. Pretty good, I'd say (normally I don't give more than 2/10 cause 90% of nonpro artists have no idea what mixing is all about).
If you have any questions regarding the mixdown - ask away.
Much love.
