Danny did an amazing mix. It captured the essence of the song. He was able to correctly balance the energy throughout the track. The mix was loud and exciting on many different systems including phone, laptop, TV, small monitors, bigger monitors and the car.

Danny has provided many top level masters for me both solo and in my collaborations with Matter.
He always provides a warm true master with great balance and clarity.
They always shine on the dance floor!
I would definitely recommend Danny for your mastering needsGMJ
We have used danny for mixing and mastering over the years and he always delivers a clean and smooth final result. Being such an amazing producer himself gives me lots of confidence that he understands what kind of mix/master you are after. Danny has taught me a lot about production with the feedback that he has offered over the years, I highly recommend Danny for both mixing and mastering. The guy loves and feels music deeply and no one in the mastering game has a more fine tuned moustache.
I met Danny at a festival last year and we got on really well, and I arranged a session with him soon afterwards. He really pushed me to create more interest and modulation in the music I sent him, and he also explained some of his techniques with reference to one of his recent tracks. I'm really glad he made me do more as my music is much the better for it. I'm planning to arrange some more sessions with Danny soon.
Working with Danny is a joy. His knowledge and artistic empathy give deep dimensions to his mixes. I always look forward to working with him.
I have worked with Danny on many projects since 1999. His skills and knowledge in the studio as a musician and producer are to be admired. As a mastering engineer, Danny is the only person I have trusted since 2009. He understands electronic music and the subtleties that make a good or bad master and also dance music mixdowns. Having expanded and up-skilled into the Dolby Atmos field, i've chosen to solely work with Danny on the upcoming Atmos re-mixdown and master of the Lostep album ‘Because We Can’, as I am confident the end result will be perfected with precision.
Danny has done numerous mastering Jobs for my personal releases as well as for my record label Smash Bang. His work is always second to none and on top of that gives great feedback.
Danny also does work for our TV production company, mixing down and exporting multi channel mixes for international delivery, and again his work is exceptional.Danny is one of the best Engineers in Australia. Helps me perfect my own work, as even every audio engineer that produces still needs a mastering engineer.
Danny always takes the time to explain things and always delivers a high quality of standard. Highly recommend.
The best in business for Mastering! Ive been using Danny's services for years and highly recommend him. Thank you
Danny is amazing to work with. Such a master of his craft but more importantly, just a really nice guy willing to take the time to help and get the mix right upfront. Would recommend speaking to Danny for anything you need whether it be coaching, mixing or mastering services. Always a lovely guy to deal with
Danny has mixed a bunch of my records in the past and has been mentoring me since I started mixing myself. He has an incredible ear and excellent attention to detail! Always a pleasure working with him!
I use Danny for all of my mastering and when I can't get the result I want with my mixes he is the man that just knows what's up! Always warm and punchy masters.
I Highly recommend, DannyWorked with Danny on multiple songs or remixes and I can't express how amazing it's been to work with him.
He really takes the time to understand the artistic and musical ideas, and then provides clear feedback and explanations on the mixing. Whether it's the mixing or the mastering, Danny simply delivers!
Danny has really been pivotal in my musical growth and I can't thank him and recommend him enough!
