Hey Jacquire

My question for you: With your experience in mixing, and the new directions artists & genres take in 2017, are there any new techniques, trends, or tricks that you hear in modern music that interest you and make you want to test out & apply to your new work?

The thing I'm most interested in at the moment is some of the way the drums sound on the last Alabama Shakes album... other than that I'm not sure, I'm not wanting to copy anything... I hear new ideas forming and love being inspired by them but not sure where anything is headed specifically... I try to be able to make anything (artist/album) sound right without putting them in any same production box...
