Seeking professional mixing and mastering for downtempo and IDM project.

I'm finishing up a Downtempo and IDM project and have 30 songs. I'm stuck at the mixing stage. Going from my headphones to the other stereo systems I have available I can never get the panning as dynamic as I would like. I also lack the skill to clean up some of the areas that are muddy because of instruments competing with similar frequencies. The projects were created using Cakewalk Next. I can afford about $500 for mixing and mastering one song to see how the process, ... our ability to work together, and the finished result turnout. If the results were good and we wanted to keep working together, I would hope to make a reasonable deal to complete the rest of the songs. I'm in no rush. Turn around time could be about a month? I'm most interested in finding someone who shares an ear for the same things I love in stereo field placement and overall sound. Projects I think of are Autechre (Tri Repete/Garbage era), Coil, Boards of Canada, Colder, Burial, FSOL, Utah Saints, and Depeche Mode. Please let me know if you might be interested in working with me. I would definitely be open to working with professionals you have less experience but share a love for similar music but would look too be able to do so less expensively. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please do listen to the song I upload to get a feel for things. Most of my songs average between 5-8 minutes. They range from around 10 tracks per song to up to 30 though in those cases most of the tracks only have one or two midi clips on them. I couldn't get my mind around gain staging so I simply set all of the levels to peak and their loudest parts around 12 decibels. There's plenty of headroom for someone to work with. I don't have a lot of effects or automation going on. I'm aware that there are times when I need to pull back and lower the levels of some things to give breathing room but I find it hard to edit myself. Very open to any type of professional feedback.
