The first full-length project I've finished in about four months...
Looking for any advice/feedback on things like mixing, EQ, structure etc, I'm going for an authentic 1999-2002 ish kind of sound.

It's great but I think it needs a catchier hook/melody

Nope, absolutely Agree with layzer. This is not an eurotrance track, it's progressive and very true to the style I'd say. No complains here. Actually I miss classic progressive tunes like that ;(The square/tri sound you chose for the main lead is atypical for the genre at that time, back then it was all about those big saw leads (as it still is today).
The mix is good indeed, given that you used pretty minimal and thin sounds as a base. The intro needs more love to sound bigger. Also the pad gets very muddy - probably EQ issue. Lead feels artifically widened, very odd in general.
