Well thanks @Jorgeelalto & @Mister Fox for getting me out of my comfort zone.
Never listened to this style of music, let alone mixed it!
So listened to the demo mix a couple of times, before I put a rough mix together focusing on the drum parts. All tracks had an EQ for some high/low pass filtering and a saturation effect (Burier) at this stage.
Then on the master bus I decided to tweak the rough mix using an SSL style compressor, dialling in a couple of dB of reduction.
I also placed an EQ as I felt the low end was lacking, boosted a shelf from 84 up by a dB or so, and 2dB boost at 630Hz and 1dB boost at 200Hz with a fairly wide Q.
Then I tweaked the tracks until it felt right, and had some fun with effects.
DRUMS: On the shells used some compression/clipper.
26 - WarmSub - stutter effect
27 Bass -transient shapper for more attack.
09 Perc Loop 1: Slight stutter effect, but blended in low.
10 Perc Loop 2: Doubler effect to thicken the sound a little
30 Vox Atmos - Stutter effect
33 Background: Some verb and modulation effect for some movement.
Created 5 Aux FX tracks:
DRM Delay - Tap delay where I sent a lot of the drums to.
Sent various amounts of some of the track to the following effects:
Ping Ping delay
1/4 note delay
Slap delay
Verb
Then on the master buss I added a Fairchild style compressor for another 1db of gain reduction.
