About us: We learned Mastering as science. We do not experiment. Our engineer has studied in London audio engineering then worked in Mastering studios in London and Germany. Being an electrical engineer too, he has designed his unique signature tube gears to give you a special sound! Being a musician since he was a kid, our engineer appreciates all kinds of music. This is why we give your music the touch of art and dash of science!

Our Discipline: We are born in a nature surrounded by loud and calm sounds. Music should be natural too!
We feel that most of our today's production worries most about loudness rather than quality.
We are known to deliver both a competent level and yet dynamic sound, full of life, with no listening fatigue or pumping harsh effects.
