Start: kick it off with a crash or a descending noise or something of the like. Think about a dj having to cue it up and only being able to do it by ear (cuz that is how it was), and you want a decent transient to kick the thing off.

Thematically dark as fuck, mate. Nice one.

Your bass, specifically the sub, is awfully polite. Is the lowest note licking 0db when you look at it in a spectrum analyser? If not, that is your first move, then mix the key drums around that, then figure out where the rest goes.

Then I would reach for an OTT to work on the higher freqs of the bass sound.

This thing is screaming for some fizzy, bubbly, papery top sounds to compliment that bass. See Signal’s first SG video for some really great ideas about how to create & implement. This is a subjective taste thing, of course, but I think it could work very well.

Maybe a little more surgical (frequency layering) sidechaining to let those drum xans crack out for just a moment.

If you upload in the future, and care to do so, make your tune downloadable, and then I can really help.

Twisted, mate. Keep going!
