Hi all! I'm out near Tokyo right now, working on a Japan themed electronic music album inspired by the local sounds of nature and the city. I'm into stuff like Aphex Twin, old Daft Punk (& Thomas Bangalter), Flying Lotus, Death Grips.
Anyhow, I'm mixing on a pair of Bose 25 headphones and an IK iLoud speaker, and don't really know how the levels are doing between them, especially the bass. Would love to hear some mixing / mastering feedback (yes I am doing my own lame mastering, for now) from folks with more experience. In terms of the sound, I'm going for modern EDM levels, so yes it's overcrushed I guess but that's kinda the genre. That said, I want it to sound like crap in a good way, so er, advice welcome! Haha, I don't know where I'm going with this message. I guess I'm intimidated by all the heavyweights I know are on this forum!
Thoughts on arrangement also welcome! The tracks are roughly in order of how 'finished' they are, more sketchy stuff at the end. I'll shut up now:
