try, try, try, try, try, try more, try even more... eventually you'll get there. There's like no set way to do it, just listen very carefully to how their tunes sound and try to get the same feel in your tracks. I know these guys spend a lot of time on each of their track, so so will you.

good luck!!
maybe ten years of producing will go somewhere towards helping 
seriously tho....
start simple.. drums..bass.. atmosphere.. then go from there.

We understand where you're coming from mate but that's like asking us where the Holy Grail is. Most of us are still trying to achieve that quality of sound ourselves!!

Those basslines... any tips on getting them to move like that?
To cut a LONG story short; regardless of whether you’re using a single ‘bass / mid’ sound or a collection of different ‘bass / mid’ sounds, once you’ve got the beginnings of a bassline composed or even just a small part or sound, create two identical tracks playing the same part (whether audio or midi-instrument). Then using EQ and/or high-cut and low-cut, dedicate one of those tracks to the bass / sub element of the sound, and dedicate the other track to the mid / tops character of the sound. Use EQ and subtle compression to make the sub element heavy and consistent. Then experiment with a myriad of plug-ins and effects on the mid / tops channel. Try all sorts of combinations of effects and experiment with automation of plug-in parameters to create movement and variation in the texture and character of the mids/tops. Every time you’ve made sounds, combinations and settings that you like, bounce down / record the audio of the mid/tops track and move on to another variation. Once you’ve made LOADS of variations and parts, then select what you think are the best of the best. Then experiment with chopping them up, inserting hits and notes of different mids/tops bounces, and try using more effects and filters to create more movement and flow between the different pieces of effected audio. Then just keep on working it and experimenting endlessly with the aim of evolving your own new techniques and sounds.
hope this helps but like the other guys said,practice,practice and good quality samples..oh and a flux capacitor

with splitting sounds into 3, my problem is trying to then get them to then stick together. Ive kinda settled into two levels, one sub, and one higher. filters I think dont sound too great when splitting sounds... any tips for this? generally compression for me doesnt get it to stick together too much...
