I compared your remake to the original uploaded here on RUclips, and yours sounds more defined and punchy. I reckon your master chain is probably close to what the French artists use, and particularily the hi-shelf and hi freq overdrive is adding that 'air' and presence that their work has. The entire work sounds like it's bathed in hiss/air (without hearing the hiss). I think distorting and raising the hi freq makes that happen only works if there is sufficient reverb or ambience in the samples or audio. Heavy compression brings up and noise floor alot. But i'm curious, what LUFS are you able to achieve ? Does your remake sound as loud as the originals when compared in your DAW ? I thought after all these years i have surpassed their loudness while not sounding distorted and overcompressed, but the other day i imported some of their tracks into a project and holy crap, their stuff still sounds alot louder and different to everything else out there when played at the same level. Especially that sense of 'air' i mentioned earlier. Particularily SebastiAn's remix of Killing in the Name of. F*ck. It is around -4 LUFS, but it sounds so much louder than everything else, and the includes Skrillex's loudest tracks. It's basically pure distortion and a snare drum, that's the entire track, but it still somehow has this 'sound' and almost defined. I definitely think they send their audio out of their speakers into their room, and record it with a mic, then blend that in. That gives their tracks this particular live ambience. Or maybe they do that with a plugin to emulate a room. After all these years, both their sample gating techniques and their sound still have me puzzled lol. Everyone else i pretty much know how they do it.

1:38 honestly that looping alone sounds great as is.
Kinda shows how Sebastians style deviates with the end product too.
Ah, yes. The return of the King.
