For starters: are you using your Soundcloud as your portfolio? If so, it seems really unprofessional, and kind of unorganized, laid out, etc. Also, you've got a track named "BEEF ASS DRUMS N****" (obviously uncensored on your page) FFS.

As for this mix, it's pumping like mad at a lot of parts and as a whole sounds like you over compressed on the master bus. Did you use a multi-band comp too? Certain frequencies seem more compressed than others at times. The whole mix sounds like it's being sucked into a vacuum (that's the best way I can think to describe it).
Did you humanize the drums at all? The blasts are really over the top as far as velocities and overall level are concerned.
