Record Store Day in Berlin, Probezeit in the studio

Mastering and mixing electronic music used to be our main business so far, that said we’re more than happy to start with serious recordings now. Probezeit is the name, punk emo rock the game, we’ll upload their songs as soon as the mix is done. And maybe we’ll even get some video footage ready, at least we saw a camera around during session. All in all we had a very good time – thank you guys! Man, I love those Gretsch bass drums.

And that was the kind of work I really like to do, mixing great tracks I mean. We’ll have you informed, when the music’s up and out (although on vinyl only).

Get in contact with us if you’re interested in our work!
