I can understand Joe's opinion with the kick drum. It does take over the mix a little, but Happy Hardcore is kick-drum-led. The music moves around the kick, as the kick is the driving factor of the track. However, the kick is strange and it has a tuning that sort of throws out the rest of the track.

If you listen to Hardstyle, the kick tends to modulate with the bassline. I think the kick here may need a similar modulation, or perhaps select a punchier kick with an off-beat bassline stab.

Hope that makes sense! The track is great. The horns and the riffs all work really well!

I actually don't dislike the horn layers, what I'm taking issue with is the kick drum, your drum layer. It's so repetitive and can easily steal the attention of your listen. Zoning in on this element really takes you out of the feel. If I could make a suggestion, I'd say that you should mess with the velocities of you kick hits or possibly run a different drum patch that allows a little more variety in intensity of the drum hit. I could hear you making a Ska track much more successfully (purely in my opinion) than a techno track. I don't mean to knock you for experimentation, this is just my two cents.
