Cut all the top.
Maybe a little bass saturation too
compress the tits out of it
sidechain it to the kick.

Gives you that nice, but cliche, techno rumble under the kick, but with a more interestingly textural edge than just sinwave based sounds.
nice tip. i can imagine it makes it rumble along niceley
