I just listened to Alan Walker, he has some pretty punchy kicks!
I don't know EDM too well. And what I tell you about sidechaining is only my opinion. And as your artistic choice, I completely respect it :)
For the muddy side, my bad, it's not an EQ problem. In your Am7-D7-Gm7-C79b harmonic progression (which is great, the 9b brings a jazz touch that sounds awesomely good), you play an E at 8" with the pluck added. I find that at that range, it loads the sound that already has a C and an F# (plus the D on the bass). This is really to be picky because again, it's great what you're doing ☺️
