This is the first time I mixed and mastered a somewhat cinematic electronic track.
Tried to push some of my own boundaries.
I stumbled upon some choices I had to make, which were new to me.
i.e. How to mix the low end?
Do I need sidechaining in the lows or elsewehere and have it pump or is a wall of sound a better idea?
What about the tonal balance? Is it any diff from a dance track?
Till how many LUFS should I push this?
Is there a reference track in this genre?
I ended up with quite a lot of eq and fader automation😂
Anyway, the meters and graphs in Span looked a little diff this time, but I hope the track is worth listening to.
Looking forward to all kinds of feedback!

Sounds solid and the imagery matches up well.

The second drop is really cool.

Thnx for your kind words Wolfzeit!
Making this track during the nights i could get no sleep, gave me a great feeling; despite the insomnia.
Maybe i should have more nights like those…
Releasing it during spooky season is a bonus
