Been keeping busy - really fun sessions from MASSA NERA, the Pist, Sonagi, PLOT, Seismic and others in recent months. Nothing to share just yet, sadly. So here is a great review of the latest Stinking Lizaveta record I worked so long with them on:

Philadelphia’s Stinking Lizaveta celebrates their thirtieth anniversary next year, and what better way to mark that impending event than with their eighth studio album?  For a bit there based on interview comments from the band it seemed like 2

Drones for Queens knocked out this ripper out of the park. Sadly, it seems like it might be their swan song, but you should check this out (along with their previous output). You won’t be disappointed. Always a pleasure to work with Evan and Shane! Monster players and great humans.

Stream 'Scraps of Mercy,' the new album from Philadelphia grindcore duo Drones for Queens, out independently now.

some well deserved attention for this ripper!!

Non compos mentis — With all signals scrambled and without any escape plan in mind the aching dementia of the soul necessitates its own kinetically sparking erraticism. Tracers cross the eyes…

06/04/2023

Super proud of these wonderful humans

05/04/2023

Some well deserved attention for the latest HIRS record!

Collaborating with notable guests ranging from poet Lora Mathis to living legend Shirley Manson, HIRS deliver a near-continuous polyvocal barrage for 30 straight minutes.

03/04/2023

I’m a bit late sharing this (what else is new?) but could not be more proud than I am to have been trusted to mix this crushing record. More guest stars than I can fit aiding two of my favorite people making music together. Listen to this thing, especially if you haven’t yet.

We have had a long journey together and I’m grateful for it. Thank you, Jenna Pup and Scott

The Hirs Collective have released what will undoubtedly be the most collaborative and star-studded punk...

Had some very dear and old friends in the studio the last couple weekends working on a ripper of a record! Such a good time!

21/12/2022

I recorded and mixed two great records on this list! Super honored to work with Massa Nera and Foxtails on these releases. Some other dear friends on this list as well! MASSA NERA Foxtails

From Gospel and City of Caterpillar's comeback records to Massa Nera to Sonagi to Chalk Hands to Trophy Hunt, here are 15 screamo and post-hardcore releases not to miss from this year...

16/12/2022

Almost a month late with this one - it coincided with the Saetia shows, so I missed it!

But these folks were kind enough to ask me to mix their record! I had a great time working on it and I’m honored they trusted me with it. Check it out!

Did I mention I mix records remotely? Much as I love tracking records, mixing is my favorite part of making records!

12/12/2022

They have cranked out another video! Did I mention I’m excited about this record coming out and it was great fun recording it?!

Do yourself a favor and grab it!

Watch the new video for "Eyeless Faces" from Massa Nera's new album, 'Derramar | Querer | Borrar,' on Zegema Beach Records.

I’m admittedly terrible at taking photos during sessions - I got work to do, after all! Thanks to these legends in the Dissidents for coming in this weekend and knocking out this ripper (and for taking pics)! I had a ton of fun!

Stream Massa Nera's new record a day early on Brooklyn Vegan: https://www.brooklynvegan.com/stream-nj-screamo-band-massa-neras-stunning-new-album-derramar-querer-borrar/

So proud of this record! They really knocked it out of the park and I was truly honored to work on it with them

It may be December, but 2022's not over yet and one of the year's best screamo albums drops right now.

28/11/2022

Whoa! I got to remix one of my favorite records ever! I finished it some years ago but am still awfully proud of it and excited for it to be out in the world!

11/11/2022

Another video for the new Massa Nera record that’s coming in a couple weeks! Again, honored to record and mix this awesome record!

Come catch them play with us (Saetia) next Sunday at the Church!

Seriously regretting slacking on getting Jenna a video of Neko and I for this, but this song and record rip and it brings me so much joy seeing so many people I love in here

The title track from The HIRS Collective's new album does what the anonymous group does best: slamming together riffs and blast beats while celebrating the visibility of trans and q***r outcasts.

02/11/2022

Didn't realize this was released. These rockers were in the studio a couple months back and it was a great time. Check them out this coming weekend at Cousin Danny's with Long Knife!

So excited for this awesome record to be out in the world! They worked so damn hard on it and pushed me to get it just how they wanted it.

I’ve worked with these wonderful people for many releases now and I can definitively say this is their best work yet!

I hope the world loves this record as much as I do! And I’m excited to see what Massa Nera do next.

Thank you, Mark, Aeryn, Chris and Allen for trusting me with this record. Much love to you all.

NJ's Massa Nera have long been staples of the current wave of screamo, and now they're finally set to release their sophomore album, their first in five years...

A little late posting this. Very honored to have a hand in this release with these friends and total shredders. I mastered it and gave them some help a couple times during tracking. Enjoy some brutal metal math rock (I never said I was great at describing music)

  Escape Velocity (Nefarious Industries) is the debut album from Philidelphia, Pennsylvania-based instrumental duo Sarattma, and follows their debut Inn

Honored to work with these legends on this. Did the master and gave some guidance during tracking! Great tunes and great humans!
