ABOUT

I am a mixing & mastering engineer with over a decade of experience working with independent Alt/ Indie/ Rock & Punk bands.

As a mixer I strive to fully understand my clients vision and work closely with them to bring to life the sound they have in their head. With a background as a composer and a singer, I recognise the emotional intention of a song and always make creative decisions that best serve this. I aim for powerful, expansive, punchy mixes that still sound natural, warm and roomy. I believe that the best possible mix is the one than lands the song in its purest and most impactful way with the listener.

Bands & Artists: Sam Russo, Ducking Punches, Sage Francis, Arms & Hearts, Harker, We Bless This Mess, Crazy Arm, Mint, Wyres, Hells Ditch.

Record Labels: Red Scare, Sony, BMG, Xtra Mile, Silent Cult.

TESTIMONIALS

“I’ve been recording music for over 20 years and working with Sam was the first experience I’ve ever had of a mix being perfect first time. I had no notes! Sam is a highly attentive, intuitive, and responsive engineer and his mixing is a product of his care and attention, not just to the artists needs and expectations, but to his own high standards of quality and the collaborative vision.” Sam Russo

“Working with Sam is a great experience and we couldn’t recommend him enough. His knowledge on music production is second to none, with a speedy workflow and a great ear for improving all aspects of your performance. Better yet, he is a genuinely great and supportive person to be around. “Andy- Wyres/ The Capital/ Boy Genius

“Sam consistently provides professional, stress-free recording environments that result in amazing sounding tracks. He’s always a joy to work with and encourages creativity and experimentation in his sessions to bring the best out of every performance.” Sam- The Loving Memory/ Sodasound

“His proficiency as a producer is second to none and is matched by his creativity, enthusiasm, patience and understanding. He has great ideas about how to accomplish the artist’s goals but never lets his preferences determine the direction of your work. Confident and highly competent without being remotely pushy. The technical quality he provides both whilst recording and in post production is of the very highest standard.” Jonny- Deadhead

“Sam is a highly talented producer that any band worth their salt should be tapping up to work with. He knows exactly how to inspire confidence and draw out the best performances from you. We’ve recorded with him multiple times and his input has been priceless. Go make a record with him, now!” Chris- Hell’s Ditch

“The recording process with Sam was thoroughly enjoyable and seamless from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble for Sam and this made us feel at ease throughout. Sam’s experience and expertise is evident and this enabled us to record the tracks to a high quality standard. After recording, communication was professional and timely, and adjustments to mixes were never any trouble. We will certainly be using Sam again and we highly recommend him to any musicians looking for a excellent recording service at a decent price.” Steve- Healer

“Working with Sam was absolutely pain free! As a band we like to keep as much ‘diy’ as possible, however when it came to our new EP we wanted to outsource the mixing and mastering process. Sam was recommended due to his skills in drum mixing. It transpired that Sam is an extremely talented mixer across the board (not just drums). Though saying that, his ‘secret sauce’ is the creative flare he brings to a mix. He brought bucket loads of ideas to the table when mixing our tracks, things we would never have envisioned ourselves. On top of that Sam is super accommodating and patient. Would recommend! Thank you Sam!” Adam- Dearist
