I like those scratches, they sound like some kinda corrugated tubing like when you play with those plastic bendy straws.

I loved the mix all the way until the drop, then the EQ problem you stated showed its head, other than that, the only problem I have on the downbeat is just a minor one, related to EQ with the high pitched bell layer at the beginning.

Then the dropdown after that drop is beautiful. :) good job.

I like your 808 and kick man! The chopper blade sound was well placed (could lose a little mid range freq on it though), as well as the brass hits and piano. Your drum instrumentation was on point. All good! The long-noted whine could have used some EQing, but the harmony with the main pad melody was nice. Not enough frequency separation going on, so it comes out a TAD muddy. Not much, but a bit. Maybe it's just my mixing style, but I'd let a little bit of the reverb and delay be lower in volume. Headphones and earbuds will translate more of it into the mix than monitors or speakers.
