How: 'Woozy' dream-like effect on the chords of this song...

[J0rdan]

Can anyone identify the techniques used to alter the presence of the main chords in the mix of this song? The producer has created this 'woozy' dream-like effect ( ) by doing this and I was just wondering how! haha

Obvious picks would be automated filter/compression but I feel as if I am missing something! Does the chord progression or wave shape have a role in dragging this element in and out of focus??? Help please ta

Heavy chorus effect. Boring.

I doubt its just that x (could you give me a relevant example that would be nice)

 

[Armistice]

Probably has a bit of vibrato on it.... gives it that slightly "drunk" sound... not hard to emulate, I wouldn't think - either on a real keyboard or via a plug in.

Think compression in an artistic way.

Thanks for the input guys, someone also mentioned the importance of the slow attack and near zero release time which I think also give it this feel. Cheers!

Yep, pretty aggressive SIDECHAIN compression. Sounds like the kick is keyed/sidechained to the compressor on the pads with a slow attack and with the release timed to the tempo of the song so it recovers before the next kick stroke. Pretty soft sounding knee setting too.
