What a pleasure working on this mix! Totally different from the indie/pop stuff and cinematic material I'm used to working on. The greatest challenges I overcame were 1) getting clarity from the kick while still having it feel like part of the arrangement and 2) Having the sub-bass present on headphones and smaller systems while still feeling natural to the style and sound appropriate when played through a larger system. Learned a lot and had tons of fun!
