Kangoro: 'King Rascal' kapu mix

That trick works wonders!!! [...]

indeed sidechain compressing can be a lot more effective than endless eq. i use fabfilter c2 for side compressing, as in addition to standard controls it has lookahead, hold, separate ratio and range, and sidechain filtering in the same interface. this helps getting very constant ducking effect even if the sidechain input source has more dynamics. this is very useful when sidechaining room for vocals. eg when vocals kick in, rhythm guitars reliably duck a solid 1 db when vocalist is vocalizing etc.

Try this trick I learned from Tchad Blake. Side chain a gate to Kick and Snare. The kick and snare will open the gate, that its going to be applied as an insert to an ambien track like market or street noises or a source with different sounds, maybe a sample. Every time there is a hit, the ambient track opens up and closes fast, creating like a random noises which can be cool for experimental or unconventional tracks.
