Thick mix needs attention

This is a work in progress that I have been tweaking for some time now, and I think it's starting to sound good. There is often a lot going on at the same time, but I've tried to make room for everything. I just wanted to see if anyone could hear something problematic that I've missed.

Any kind of feedback is much appreciated.

few things i v noticed:
  1. kick drum is not correctly tuned need some fine tuning on low notes;
  2. your high-hat is too thin because its playing almost at 10-12khz all the time
  3. stereo panorama is good
  4. it lacks overall quality glue plugin such as UAD neve 33609

I will definitely look into the kick-tuning, though one problem might be that the track changes key quite a lot, but we'll see.
Do you think the kick should be more pronounced, with maybe a layered top kick?

I was kinda looking for a very thin hihat to just keep the groove, and sit on top of everything else, but I'll see if a bit more body works.

Regarding a "glue-plug", I assume you mean for the master channel, but I should have mentioned that the track is completely unmastered - I just focus on the mixing now and get a proper mastering-studio to do the mastering. At least until I know enough to do a decent job myself.

Thanks for taking the time to listen.
