Reply to How to sound like Tom Flynn

hi, bit of a noobie here but here goes.......I am obsessed with the music Tom Flynn makes, man is like a machine for making dancefloor bombs. but i just can't seem to get my mixes sound as good as his. Does anyone know what he is using to get his tracks so warm? I read in interviews with him that he uses outboard gear but he never really says what.

also on one of his latest track "do you like bass" i cant tell if it is a live bass playing or a synth? can't get my bass to sound as good as his.
