Choose your fighter!

Or don’t!

I just want tacos. Mmmmmmmm. Have I ever mentioned that there’s a great tamale shop a block away? That’s what gets me out of bed some days. Lol

Happy new year, friends!

We’re excited to have a fresh website up (http://brotherschineserecording.com) so we’re running a studio promo sale and it’s a heckuva deal if you book your dates by Feb 1.

Have a look! Record a thing. Mix a different thing. Eat tamales while doing both things. Endless combos.

2022 PHOTO DUMP!!

Taking a look back at 2022: we’re glad to have spent it with great artists and exceptional humans.

Here are some albums that were worked on and a couple that had big birthdays.

Thanks everyone!

PS- We ran out of room for photos and tags so here is a jumble of people we’re happy to have hosted: .band

What can we say about this room? Quite simply, it’s a room. You can play the drums or perhaps the piano, or maybe just sit in silence.

It’s late, but we finished making stuff. Perhaps the best part about it is that no one will notice, and that feels good. lol.

Eight years ago today! It’s come a long, long way.

Makin’ the sausage, which actually sounds pretty gross but I guess this is the equivalent 🤷🏻‍♀️?

Anyhow, we’re installing a new headphone system and streamlining some patch bay stuff this week. Headphone monitoring systems are super important and, once you get them going, entirely invisible and forgotten. We’re upgrading from an ancient centralized analog system to a digital personal mixer system — a HUGE improvement for us in the control room and an even bigger improvement for the musicians. It’s just a pain in the ass bc there’s no partial changeover; you have to completely redo all the headphone infrastructure.

Obviously, we think it’s worth it. And we’ve been wanting to make this switch for almost 8 years!! Very excited!

Hello? Is this thing on?... *ahem*

We're proud to announce the grand re-opening and name change of our studio in heart of Oakland, Brothers (Chinese) Recording! You may have known or heard of our studio previously as New, Improved Recording. Originally it was the demo studio of En Vogue's producers, and we'd like to think we've spruced it up a bit.

Our new name is inspired by all the great mom n' pop (Chinese) restaurants holding it down. After minimizing and downplaying our Asian-ness for most of our lives, it feels good to slap it right in the name.

We've been hooked on recording, mixing, and generally obsessing with sonics since 1995 and we hope to be here to stay.

If you've got some music that needs making, or just want a tour, reach out to us at [email protected]!

-Ian and Jay
