I personally think you're approaching EQ:ing things the wrong way. If you really think about it, one will get most consistent results across different listening environments by unifying the sounds together instead of separating them. Essentially this would mean pulling them towards the mid frequencies. Here we have super subby kick (which'll surely exercise the subs but gets pretty nonexistent in laptop speakers) and hihat whose energy is concentrated on the >10kHz region.
You definitely know how to mix songs and get them to sound engaging. However I feel that (at least) this one is missing some focus on the midrange. If possible I'd suggest putting a low and a hipass filter (say, 250 Hz, and 4 kHz) in your monitor setup and compare your mix against commercial releases to see what you lose and what your favorite songs/mixes keep intact.
