I like how you made the choruses big to contrast with the verses, a lot of the mixes I've listen to here neglected to lift the chorus at all, leaving them sounding flat or even dipping in energy when it arrives. Though it is hard to blend the electronic/rock sections of this song together convincingly.
The electronic kick during the verses you've mixed very low, while it's all open to personal interpretation a "four on the floor" generally kick wants one thing, to be loud and proud, propelling the song along. It feels to me you're using the hats for the energy, whenever the kick would supply this and the hats would sit nicely underneath supply the groove.
Or perhaps you had a reason for mixing it this way?
