Mix Breakdown: Dua Lipa “Levitating”
One thing I’ve been amazed by in recent years, is just how often Dua Lipa’s smash hit “Levitating” has been used as a production and mix reference by some of my most successful mastering clients.
And I’m not just talking about the usual suspects here:
Producers and mixers who work in rock, pop, hip hop, EDM and all sorts of alternative genres have brought this track up as one that has balances that work, sounds that feel impressive, and tons of forward momentum.
Today I explore what makes this mix tick, and help uncover what we can learn from it—regardless of what genre we are working in.
