I like the pads in the breakdown, although I think the side chaining is a little overdone. Then again, I'm not really a fan of excessive sidechaining being used as a matter of course without the kick, anyway.
The percussion is really low in the mix. Really low. Even before you start to low-pass everything out, I can barely hear the hihat. Typically, none of your instruments are going to have a whole lot of power in the 8-10k range, and that gives you a lot of opportunity to give your hats a lot of sparkle in that area, and you don't really have a lot going on there.
The design on the vocal samples is really well-done and evocative.
