Built for the club.

House, techno and Afro house live or die on the low end and the space around the kick. The master has to hold on a club system and still sit beside your references on a phone. Thomas makes this music himself, so every electronic master starts there. Electronic mastering

Finished for the record.

For a band album or EP, the songs are mastered as one record: consistent level and tone from the first track to the last, the dynamics of live drums kept, and a premaster cut for vinyl when the release needs one. Albums and EPs

Questions.

How long does it take?

About a business day a track, and two to three for an album. Priority, back in 48 hours, is +40%.

What if my mix isn't ready?

We listen first. If it needs work, we tell you what to change and refund you in full, in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Can I ask for changes?

Yes. One round of changes is included, and any technical fault is fixed at no charge.

Stereo or stem?

Stereo if you're happy with the mix. Stems if the low end or the vocal needs more control than a stereo file allows. Stem mastering
