I like the summer-jam quality of this one! Good combination of beat and chord progression.
I have to agree with @vim that a lot of the sonic information seems to be in the higher mids. Have you considered tweaking the arrangement a bit so that the sonic information's spread out among a wider set of frequencies? One of the best explanations I'd seen of arranging frequencies in a mix was to imagine the sonic spectrum as a parking lot, and you can only put one car in each parking space (frequency band). If you've already got an instrument at (say) 660 Hz, you don't need to put another one there. If an instrument's frequencies slop over onto another's parking space, then you can apply EQ to notch out those frequencies, or change the arrangement to move one of the conflicting instruments out of the way (drop it an octave, or play other notes), or alternate them so they're not playing at the same time.

Still--very cool groove!
I do like the drift running through this, just needs a little more in the low-mid, if I'm being fussy.
