OK, you've heard my mix of this one. As you pointed out, our approaches were similar. However, I felt your mix had three flaws:
1. It sounds a little muddy, like I'm listening to the mix through a box of old socks. Not sure what the problem is there, though you might try hipass filtering any track not contributing to the bass content to remove any unneeded low frequencies.
2. The kick drum isn't thick enough; this kind of music needs a kick with real "thump." Maybe try boosting it a bit in the 80 Hz range and/or adding some judicious distortion...?
2. Too dry. Yes, this style requires a dry approach but there should at least be a little reverb on there, for presence.
