I'm still working on it, and drums are not final (we just changed drummer and he doesn't like the old drum parts so we're changing almost everything (yay, more work for me, again... I feel like this EP will never fucking come out)). Keyboards producing is not over, the intro is too "basic", gotta do something with it.

Still has work to do on vocals, as I feel that they are too dry and the 2 vocalists are not gluing well together in this extract...

But here it is...
 
Needs more drums and some more guitars (of both I can't say much about cause I didn't hear much).
More prescence on vocalist(s).

And please, less synth, atleast when your synth is not all that good.
The intro patch doesn't really need to be on full volume blowing the other tracks apart. Make some cooler, layered synth sounds and highpass them so they don't distort the frequencies so much.

Idea is ok, but theres is a lot of wasted potencial for me.
 
try slip editing your DI's (or amp tracks) rather than just cuttin them to the grid. the actual attack is missing in alot of notes.
 
Hum I read elctro, core, and breakdown in the same style description.

I'll pass :D

(in order not to sound like a dick, i actually listened to your stem and decided to answer, i'll second what they said, try finding really better synth sound, and make them more 3D. Also, hi pass them more, they are a bit overpowering the image for my taste. Also the overall sound is too dry for my ears, making it too 2D, I feel like i'm looking to a wall.)
 
Yeah, I knew I should not have posted this in a so early stage of mixing. I was looking for it, it seems! :p

Thanks for the input guys, after a couple of days without listening to this mix, I can now say that everything here is pretty much true... The only thing I have a problem with is the editing comment... I slip edited this song pretty much accurately and made sure that no attacks were missing, it's pretty much my best edit to date... But this "2D sounding" thing is probably not helping. Thinking about remixing this EP. God I hate mixing my own stuff, it's never to my taste and I can't seem to get an objective view of what I'm doing :(
