turn down the volume on your leading chords so the percussion can come through a bit more

Thanks, I see what you mean, it gets a bit hard to hear them in some of the more active parts.

The volume on the chords is fine but the clap is panned too far to the left and the cymbal too far to the right. It sounds unbalanced because the clap is so loud. Turn the volume up on your BD. Nice composition though.

He can't turn the bd up, he's already overloading, it's really noticeable around 1.45. Keep the kick where it is and mix around it, not above it.

Everything needs to be louder than everything else

sounds like a propaganda song pretty cool

Relating to previous comments, try mixing drums first and gradually bringing everything up. Mixing has a lot of black art that can only be learned with practice.

As for the song style, listen to Com Truise and download Cannonball.
