A quick reminder to any artists out there planning on making one of those vinyl unboxing videos...
New album from Little Man Tate - out now!
Here's a lovely solo rendition from Dan of The Feeling's new single I Won't Sleep Tonight which is out today and features a fantastic guest vocal from Lucie Silvas.
A refreshingly candid video from Run Remedy for the new single Turf War. Good vibes.
Great to hear the world premier of The Feeling's new single The Right Wrong this morning on Zoe Ball's breakfast show on BBC Radio 2 - the track is taken from the forthcoming album "San Vito" - mixed by Chris Potter and mastered by Nick Watson at Fluid Mastering.
Out now on wax and in the ether - new Black Grape! Produced by Martin 'Youth' Glover, mixed by Michael Rendall, Mastered by Nick Watson at Fluid Mastering

Annie Nightingale has left us. 83 and she was still working on Radio 1. I'll always remember her infectious enthusiasm for music of all kinds. RIP.

Battle Cry was mastered from stems at Fluid Mastering's West Country Division in Bristol, by '80s Pop casualty Nick Watson

This is a fantastic album from the incomparable Ian Shaw, one of the UK's finest Jazz singers. That said, it's not a Jazz album as such, more a collection of great songs delivered with verve, soul and Ian's wonderful knack for telling a story and bringing you into his world which on this occasion is Soho in the small hours.
On production duties is pianist and keyboard player Jamie Safir, a brilliant and versatile musician with a glittering production career ahead of him.
Great to see this album getting some of the recognition it deserves, from Jazz FM.
Greek Street Friday was mastered by Nick Watson at Fluid Mastering.
We are thrilled that Greek Street Friday is Jazz FM’s Album of The Week.
Our only two London shows, with full band, are Friday January 26th (7pm and 10pm) at PizzaExpress Live, Dean Street.
Come on down. It’ll be a party.

When the set opens with a track using a printing press for percussion, you know you're in for a treat, and that's precisely what Hack-Poets Guild gave us when we saw them at their Bristol gig on Saturday night. Throughout the two hour show, we were educated with historical back stories to each number, soothed by the warm rich tones of Marry Waterson voice, blown away with the bands beautiful harmonies, and introduced to some of the most creative use of instruments I'd ever seen. Like the H**p cutter, Nathaniel Mann - Info Page used to provide a beat for the number "H**p and Flax". There were the haunting violin strings used during Lisa Knapp Music "The Troubles of This World", and the acoustic presence created in the room when they wondered around the audience with an instrument (whose name I don't recall) creating the sound of birds during "Birds of Harmony". The evening couldn't have been more entertaining, but the band finished off by passing around the lyrics for a song that the audience could sing, which for me was the icing on the cake! I left feeling I'd been part of an incredible night, witnessed a truly great band, and gained an insight into British Folklore. If you get the chance to see these guys, take it!

An interesting duo "Nasty Party" manage to work even though half the band lives in Sydney and the other half in London. Their album was mastered by Tim Debney and the latest single "Monochromatic TV" has just been released.
With their latest single 'Loaded Dice, Nasty Party once again proves that their blend of punk and new wave is as powerful as ever.
Out today, "Blackletter Garland" the debut album from Hack-Poets Guild featuring Lisa Knapp, Marry Waterson & Nathaniel Mann.
This album has gone down a storm with Folk enthusiasts as well as others because of its ability to blend authentic source material from broadside ballads and blending them beautifully with modern melodies and beats.
In case you've not heard any, they've released 4 songs from the album, all with fabulous videos illustrated by the incredibly talented Marry Waterson.
The album was mastered by Nick Watson at Fluid Mastering and is released on One Little Independent Records

What a lovely surprise to receive a copy of Continuum, the new album by Carol Fieldhouse and even more lovely to find out that it's currently on Bandcamp New and Noteworthy carousel. The whole album is a dedication to motherhood and the songs a collection of stories where Carol is accompanied by a host of talented contributors. This is Carol's second album and is summed up beautifully in a cracking review from folking.com "Her songwriting is elegant and her voice manages to combine gentleness and strength – the core attributes of a mother, perhaps?"
We've been looking forward to this one for weeks! The debut album by Ferris & Sylvester is OUT! "Super Human" was mastered by Nick Watson here at Fluid Mastering, full of hit songs that will have you singing along in no time. We love it!

Cedar’s Retouch again, this time elongating individual harmonics to fix a rather large dropout in a vocal recording. #audiorestoration #masteringengineer #masteringstudio #itshouldntworkbutitdoes
Click be gone! We probably use this at least once on every session. Re-Touch from Cedar is the business! And handles so much more than just clicks etc. #masteringstudio #masteringengineer #mastering #retouch #cedar #sadie6
