I suppose I should explain how I went about mixing this.
I started out trying to replace some of the drum sounds and in the process decided a driving "house" beat really lifted the track so I went all out in making it a club mix.
After adding some beats, I found the bass guitar didn't quite fit so I quantised it and the original claps and snare.
Then I added some "raunch" to the guitars with boosts between 2-3k to punch them through and played with panning them about with some filler reverb. I ended up cutting guitar 2 into pieces to facilitate a good stereo image because the first part of the verse is all by itself and wasn't "right" panned over to the left on it's lonesome. I like a good headspace!
Now to the vocals. Not too much needed on the backing vocals. Just some reverb and slight delay. I wanted the lead vocal to have a bit more oomph to it so I doubled it by sending it through pitch correction and mixing the two together.
All I needed then was some compression and gating on certain tracks, and a little mastering compressor magic to finish it off.

Too much top? I guess that is the problem with mixing with headphones on in the early morning

After listening on speakers and other headphones, I understand what you mean. The vocals could indeed come up a bit more. Cheers.
