Thirst thing I notice is way to much subbass. I'm listening on two 9inch monitors without a sub and it sounds like i'm in my car.
Should be Eq-ed quite a bit. be carefull with those 20hz to 50hz.
I do like the sounds you've used. Think it al works. But i can't listen on higher volume due to the subbass.

 

Thank you beats. I appreciate all input. I had a feeling the bass was too high. Most of my productions end up being that way. I was hoping that it would be desirable but that is not the case. I am using New Era 808 plugin for the bass. It has some killer sounds but can quickly drown out the mix. Should I just bring the gain down on the bass or actually eq it to fit?

 

I really liked the tracks a lot, great stuff. Was listening while I worked today.

Also have to agree that there's too much sub bass. fuad has a post somewhere here where he talks about the importance of trimming those subs. If I find it I will drop you a link.

 

I'm not really familiar with this genre, but I would try to EQ that sub first. Or maybe automate the volume. The first track blows my socks off when it kicks in at the beginning
a high pass around 50hz with a 24db slope should work.
Really dig the groove you have going.
I'm not familiar with that plugin, if there are more than one osc. playing, you should try to fix it there first.
Just take out the lowest rumble so it will be less muddy.
On the other hand, you could fix it in the master, since everything else is sitting right in the mix and the sub does not push things out of order
