    paper Destin - Razana

    Working as a Mixing Engineer for the artist Razana was a pleasure.
    Getting stems from the producer, Jonathan Gaba, I worked remotely with the producer and artist to give a fresh face to their awesome song and production.

    Bringing out the detail in all the layers of harmony and awesome ear candy, this song was a treat to mix!

    paper Tijger Tijger No.2

    Tijger Tijger, a dutch independent band, delivers some steller performances live, and having seen them played in many venues and on many different stages, I knew they needed to capture that magic in the studio.

    Working closely with them through pre production, we planned and worked through a whole weekend, recording three songs.
    Capturing the entire band in the room together, live and from the cuff.

    The band delivered an awesome performance, making my job of mixing it much more fun and guided by how awesome they sounded in the room together.

    After the recording, i produced and mixed all 3 of their newest releases.
