Nice mix Pauli, I like this a lot. My only really 'ouch' moment is with the cymbal crash - I reckon you could hi-pass it or apply a fairly hefty cut around 800Hz to get rid of some of grotty mid-range, and also drop it in the mix quite a bit, it only needs to be a little accent.
Other things to maybe try - looking to get some more width / modulation on the pads? Like maybe sending them to a modulated delay which is panned to the opposite side of the stereo spectrum. Maybe some automated delay on the leads as well to accentuate a few notes here and there, just to add some interest occasionally. Overall though it's really nice, great background / chill music despite the high tempo.
BTW, re Dave's point about the mp3, he was asking you to use Constant Bit Rate rather than Variable Bit Rate when you convert to mp3 as CBR is higher quality than VBR for the same kps - you should have a check box somewhere in the options for converting to mp3 in your DAW. In Logic it's set to CBR by default, presume you're using something different? Hope that helps.
