Electronic Music Mastering for producers & labels who want dimension, clarity, and punch. 16+ years mastering (Over/Shadow, Dispatch), 22+ years DJing (Fabric, global UG circuits), 30+ years producing (Metalheadz, Exit). Premium analog + digital workflow.
Hi, I'm Ilpo Kärkkäinen. I help producers and labels nail their sound – masters that balance dimension, clarity, loudness, and punch.
🎛️ 16+ Years Mastering – For labels like Over/Shadow, Dispatch, Straight Up Breakbeat and countless independent artists.
🎧 22+ Years as a DJ – From prime-time Fabric to underground circuits worldwide. I master for how music feels, not just how it measures.
🎹 30+ Years Producing – Releases on Metalheadz, Exit, R&S, Renegade Hardware, and Reinforced. I speak musician, not just engineer.
🌲 The Studio – Deep north in the Finnish countryside (visitors include wolves, eagles, and the occasional lost producer).
Signal Chain:
Analog (Elysia, Prism, Cranborne, etc.) for 3D depth and pro sheen.
Digital (Weiss, Massenburg, Tone Projects, etc.) for utmost clean precision.
Monitoring: HEDD full-range system – truth in every decision.
The gear is just a toolbox. What matters is what the music needs.
Tell me about your project and how I can help, through the 'Contact' button above.

Endorse Resoundsound MasteringIlpo is an absolute Don!! He brought my premaster to life in a way I didn’t think was possible. Clean, precise, and powerful are a few words to describe it. Overall Im very pleased with the result & I’d highly recommend getting all your mastering services with Resound Mastering. I know I will 😎
Ive worked with Ilpo on various projects and they have always been excellent. The results have been fantasic but more than that, hes incredibly knowledgable, open and easy to talk to. Would 100% recommend
Working with resound for years on several styles like house, hip hop and mostly drum&bass. No matter which style resound found the perfect master for each kind of tune. Always giving constructive feedback on tunes my sounddesign, arrangements and workflow benefits from that. A true master of his craft. Love to work with him. Big up!

It is a pleasure to work with Ilpo and I would recommend his mastering services to anyone making electronic music. What makes him stand apart from the rest is that he is not only a mastering/mix engineer, but is also one of the best producers in the game. This creates a whole other dimension when it comes to his mastering work, he truly understands electronic music from all angles.
Ilpo is a very accommodating and amicable chap as well. He will provide meticulous feedback until you as a customer are satisfied with your mix or master.
5 stars.
I'm very happy with the quality of the service that is provided for Resoundsound. I think i have mastered 3 tracks at the moment with them and the results have been super good.
Thanks Ilpo for the work.
I didn't know Ilpo personally when I first contacted him for mastering; I only knew of his excellent productions. I wanted to utilise stems mastering from someone who knew the breaks sound inside and out, as although I have many years of production experience and am high level in other genres, I was fairly unfamiliar with it.
Ilpo worked with me to get the project up to scratch before handing over stems; final result was outstanding, & exactly what I was after. He is incredibly knowledgable and furthermore unlike some engineers, v forthcoming with sharing production techniques.
We've used Resound to master two of our projects. On both occasions, the service we received was high quality, fast and exactly what we wanted. He made sure we were happy with the final product and even offered us some great feedback, all whilst maintaining a friendly and professional manner. Highly recommend Resound for mastering your projects!
I have used Resoundsound's services on many occasions. Each time I have been impressed by the speed and professionalism. I can definitely recommend as a very good solution to your mastering needs.

I normally deliver within a few days of receiving files, but 10 business days max.
I happily accommodate any reasonable requests for revisions (no extra charge if the premaster doesn't change).
