Most of my mixes are hotter than -14LUFS and I'm pretty gentle with compression, even on the individual tracks. I don't know if I'd be able to do that without almost entirely substituting automation for compressors.
At any rate, I know a ton of people who prefer really hot mixes... And this mix is exciting for sure, but I almost feel like I need a break when it's over.
Truly though, I like the tones and balance more than enough to forgive a too hot mix. There's an analog warmth to the horns that really seals it.

I'm grateful for comments and suggestions. Thank you for listening!
