Simply try to:
Use Parametric EQ 2 to EQ all elements of your mix, then use panning to your advantage to create a less "muddy" and spread out, stereo mix.
Finally apply mastering software to polish that turd. (see TRacks 3 or iZotope Ozone 5... remember try not to brickwall your mix [see: loudness war])

PS: Also I forget what it's called but your tune needs an equal / balanced mix of lows, mids and highs to sound appealing which it currently does not have.

Additionally, atmospheric pads and perhaps some appreciated leads in the back help the listener retain interest and also help fill the mix, in general.

Keep it up! PS: Soon I'm taking the plunge and starting my own little home production studio :P (hobby only for now)
Sometimes muddy is good. Sometimes.
I forgot to put WIP somewhere in the post, so yeah I'm not quite done. I know there's a lot I should do to it but I'm never always certain what. Thanks for the feedback.

And home studio? Visiting.
