When I'm listening to pro-productions the first thing I hear(and probably most of the listeners) is the clarity. Mixes that have dimension, depth and clarity and where each element occupies its own space automatically score higher, even though musically they might be inferior to others.
Your mix is quite original, and all that I previously said applies, but it does need more clarity. I want to hear clearly the words you're singing/saying and at the same time it has to have a deeper meaning than just a good drive and a sidechained bass.
The midrange in your mix is overrepresented so that takes away from clarity. There is probably a lot of small things and details I would do to make the mix more balanced but can't really say exactly what, until I had separate tracks and started doing it myself.
Also, the problem with producers is that they try to do everything themselves nowdays, playing, singing, recording, arranging, mixing, and mastering. People that could be succesfull in all of these areas at the same time are the ones who succeed as single producers/dj's. And that's rare.
So, if you have somebody not only to give you a second set of ears but to help colaborate in the production process, that would be a solution in terms of your mixes coming more alive, transparent and dynamic. When you have a product that people are really enjoying (people not afraid to give you a relatively objective opinion), then you can think of next steps.
In short, never stop trying, and work hard until you achive it. After you achive it, work harder...
