Un enorme grazie a mio fratello per lo scatto e la fiducia.

Always check phase when you buy vintage microphones.
Guess what, two microphones out of three were out of phase because they were soldered and sold like this by the sellers.
Now, soldering iron and get the pins right.

Restriction time.
Only the fittest & necessary processors will stay, the others will have a rest for a while.
Don't worry, you can still rent each single one, we just need a little advice as the depot won't be too near.

ZODABAS Records meets Frontline Rec Studio
Always a pleasure to work with the super talented multi-instrumentalist Sanzio .
All these tracks were written, sung, played, recorded by him alone at his Zodabas Studio in full lockdown. And here's one special dubwise made by David Sensi at the Frontline HQ: Hard Dub for the song Hard Times.

We're very lucky to got hold of one of this pair of microphones.
Its sound cannot be described with words, i will just say it's almost always the best sounding one when doing mic comparisons (and we do a lot).
Hand made by one of the best italian Microphones and Outboards' designers around.
He's now the project engineer behind almost all products from Stam (Chile).
Do you know who I am talking about?

If you haven't already checked Break the Fence EP you can do it now.
The vocal of the song Crisis was written and recorded here at the Frontline HQ and the collab with our good friends from Blue Shepherd Sound System is really a blessing in terms of freshness.
Few copies left, but don't you worry we will press more!

🔥 Big news finally! Break the Fence vinyls are here!

Our bass guitar has gone through the capable hands of the mighty guitar maker Francesco Michelutti from legendary Micheluttis Instruments (Cremona) for a heavy overhaul.
And we also changed the strings to flatwound ones for a heavier low end expression.
It now sounds and feels as smooth as it has never been.
