This electronic track, composed by Wilga in Sydney and mixed and mastered by Juan Manosalva, was one of the most ambitious and technically detailed projects I’ve worked on. The focus was on shaping a bold electronic sound while maintaining clarity, movement, and emotional depth through a hybrid mixing and mastering approach.

The mix was built in Pro Tools, with careful frequency and dynamic control using plugins from Waves and Universal Audio. Once finalised in-the-box, the stereo mix was routed through analog hardware, including a RHEA Vari-Mu compressor and NEVE 542 tape emulators, to add warmth and harmonic character. Spatial design played a key role, with the AMS RMX16 used to create depth, space, and movement across the track. The final master is now available on Spotify, iTunes, and all major streaming platforms.
