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.

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.
by Jeremy Alsop
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.
by Luke Chable
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.

by Amháin
