Here is my submission for the community mix.
Tekker Mix
For comparison, here is an unmixed version of the song as it started out with nothing done to the original tracks.
Original Tracks
My approach to this song was to go fairly heavy with the reverb up until the drums and bass come in because it gives it a washy sound that I think fits the mood of the song since he's singing about the ocean and all. Once the drums and bass come in, the reverb is backed off a lot so the instruments and vocals blend together better.
