My boutique service leverages a carefully designed digital-analog signal path, with high-end converters, sweet analog gear and mid-side processing, to bring the harmonics and vibe of your electronic music to life. Having managed Cytopia Records (psy-trance) label in Amsterdam, I know what it takes to get music ready to impress audiences.
Why choose this service? I love electronic music production and mastering. I’m fascinated with latest technology in terms of hybrid (digital-analog) workflows and willing to meet the budgets of young producers. My service caters to clients who get my full attention until they are happy with the results. I'm not looking to serve the masses.

Servellen Music excels at mastering using top-notch outboard equipment. The quality of the analog gear he uses is evident in the sound, adding a unique touch that digital plugins can't replicate. I highly recommend him! Having worked with over a dozen mastering engineers for different labels, I can confidently say he has delivered the best masters I ever heard of my music. My go to ME from here on out!

Interview with Servellen Music
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I use a hybrid (analog-digital) signal path that combines carefully selected high-end analog hardware and mastering grade converters with software plugins in my studio. This gives me best of both worlds in terms of the precision and recall of digital and the warmth, harmonics and colour of analog.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Andres Klein for mastering electronic and Adam Haggar for mastering non-electronic. I don’t like mastering my own music, and believe fresh ears and different room produce best mastering results, and therefore I have worked with Andres and Adam on some of my own productions for mastering.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both! Digital for precision and easy recall, and analog for natural saturation and harmonics created by the beautiful circuits and transformers, that are not well emulated digitally.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What exactly are they trying to achieve, and whether they have reference tracks they LOVE.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Harmonic
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Create a good listening environment i.e. acoustic treatment and good monitors, or at the least very good headphones, otherwise nothing you do translates well to other situations and it is near impossible to get the mix right.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Good taste ;)
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Fresh ears, passion for music, and boutique outboard gear to give some analog-love.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: First understand client aims and wishes, and listen to the mix-down carefully, before setting up a bespoke mastering chain, step by step and checking the results compared to selected reference tracks, on different monitors, speakers, headphones, before sending the client a first sample, once I am happy with the sound.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: My musical tastes are incredibly diverse. I love Giorgia Anguili, Jan Blomqvist, Simon Posford for their creative original electronic music. I'm always impressed with Rick Rubin as a producer both in terms of result and vision. As a teen especially I was inspired by the late Randy Rhoads, who played guitar on Ozzy Osbourne's Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madman albums.
