nice mix Olli. there's only one thing you forgot to do....the delays on the snare shots that are so much a signature of the genre. over the years, i've kinda got so used to it that not hearing it's presence is making a distraction.
you have a lot of treble on the percussion [hi-hat] than feels necessary, so it's kinda sticking out of this sparse mix rather than blending but the good news from my perspective is that my ears aren't on fire
By modern, did you mean the compression on the master buss? it sounds hot. this is having some impact on the vocal, you've positioned it up-front of the mix and the compression is forcing it even closer; i'd rather not smell his breath but having it this close really shows up the great job you did with the EQ; it's very well presented
i'm using the cans, so can't reliably judge if you put a dose of sub into the kick. i'm guessing you did.....
i like the ambiance you've applied and the sound stage you developed, nice. personally, i think i'd bring the piano up a touch more as it feels a bit lost so far back....but it's still working where it is.
