Thanks! Glad you like it! I don't quite know what to call this style but
it's sort of dub-tech-step ish I guess?

I have a very calculated approach to my mix and it all starts with the kick
and the bass levels (kick to -10dB max, bass to -12dB max). After that, the
rest is a bit more arbitrary but uses lots of EQ to keep the bottom end
clear under about 200Hz. I compress my kicks pretty hard, and the bass is
rolled off to be mostly sub, and then compressed a bit. Roll off everything
under about 20Hz.

Add a tiny bit of slow-release sidechaining from the kicks to the pad
levels and that helps add to the impact slightly.

Reckon that's it! :-)

Cheers, Dave
