Amazing!!!

I gave Alexey 5 stars but I would give him 10 if I could. Alex mastered my entire album though my genre (African/World/West African) was new for him, but was quick to understand the references and improve on them.

Communication was professional, punctual, and informed, and his knowledge of the medium and tools on point. I have worked with engineers from the US, NY, Italy, and France, and Alexey ranks with the best of them... and his prices are honest for the quality he offers.

I strongly recommend him and I hope he'll become my go-to-guy when I am in Moscow.

As a drummer, I have been working with Alex for 8 years already. He collaborated with me on dozens of music releases, songs and albums of various genres, and each single time he delivered outstanding results. He is hardworking, punctual and loves his job. I would highly recommend him anytime.

I have repeatedly worked with Alexey on several projects in completely different genres (black metal, dark-jazz, electro-industrial etc). He is a real professional, who is easy to work with.
Fully recomended if you want a creative approach to your music!

SPK-music mixed and mastered a few songs for my post-black metal band, and I was really happy with the result. Even though I had recorded most of the instruments and vocals at home, with basic recording gear, they greatly enhanced the sound of my music, and I can only recommend them to anyone looking for good mixing/mastering services!

Cardiowave Music Label have been collaborating with Alexey continuously for more than ten years. Undoubtedly, he’s one of the best sound producers not only in our country, but in the whole CIS. 15 CDs, 5 LPs, DVD – almost all of the label’s releases are related to his name, including latest releases by iconic Ukrainian band Flёur. We also would like to point out that Alexey, among other things, is a creative and responsive musician and he’s always very dedicated to the process of making music. And that is priceless!
