Your mix is incredibly clean; I think too much so. It seems as if everything is overly carved out in its own spectrum space; almost makes me think if you did nothing different except for roll back some dBs on all eq settings for each track you'd have a nailed down mix. As it is, there is a "thin," or non-cohesive, feel to it.
With that said, I love the space the mix is in, and the vocal effect is very appropriate for the style!
Great job getting the parts fit in and a solid spatial feel. If you decide to adjust it on another go, think about letting the spectrum blend together a bit more.
Thank you for your constructive answer.
True, I had to put some high-pass filters with a shallow slope on midrange instruments to make them sit well with spanky sounding bass (thin bass and kick drum compensated with some lows down to 20Hz and sharp peak on 50Hz) and to free up some space for fairly power-full vocal with too different re-verbs at the same time.
Reduced sample rate on keys (panned hard right) to make them sound more interesting and sit better in the mix (original key track panned 70% left).
Whole song mixed on quite levels as possible (couldn't normalize master bus on 0dB, left some short peaks in dynamic range).
Whole mix may not sound good on all speakers or headphones.
On bigger headphones and speakers it may sound fuller and more blended together. The aim was to make it sound neutral on small or average speakers (some frequencies on 400Hz and 850Hz may result in nasty resonances when listening on small and cheap plastic speakers).
