This sounds great Dataplex. The vocals fit very nicely in the mix. They're not too compressed, and the EQing seems right for the current mixing levels. I suspect that they'd sound too quiet when listened to on a shitty car stereo system or a bad boom box. But I wouldn't worry about that. To please the worst of speakers, one must sacrifice the experience on decent ones.
More generally, it sounds to me like you've opted to treat the vocal tracks in much the same way you've treated everything else. Often you hear EQ, compression, and leveling tailored make the vocals much more prominent than everything else. For this song, I like your approach better. And considering you already have an excellent understanding of mixing acoustic and electronic instruments, your approach also makes procedural sense.

yeah, agreed +1. I especially love the bass, they are nice and prominent on my bass-biased Sennheisers so they will probably be just right most everywhere. The mix is nice and tight but retains the looseness that the song needs. It's a great piece by the way; really interesting. Too much compression would ruin the vibe on this
