self.
I've also mixed tracks that were either produced here or there(India/Sri Lanka/Pakistan) and when the clients bring me tracks of what it should sound like i am also shocked how bright and distorted the mixes are.
Here everything is dry,ballsy and in your face.
Over there its very wet and bright.
I had to learn to compromise and adapt.
Hey a great mix is a great mix no matter what the genre.
Just learn to find the middle ground.
If you have to hype your mixes a little(EQ and Compression on the mixbuss) learn how to.
Fortunately some of the releases are mastered here and the guys here usually can make things work.
I would suggest find an ME over there of quality and build a relationship where you can bring consistent work for hyping your mixes.
