    Dan and Chris absolutely delivered again with this one. They took my demo and worked their magic, turning the song into something truly amazing. The speed at which they work, while maintaining such a high level of quality, is impressive—they treat every track like it's their own. Can’t recommend them enough!

    I came to Dan with some demos for an EP. He absolutely killed the drum parts, and his partner Chris added perfect basslines. They did a great job understanding my vision and enhancing it! Great sounding recordings and quick turnaround.

    I’ve worked with several mix engineers over the last while, and honestly, Dan is one of the most open, easy to communicate with and just generally awesome people you can work with. His mixes on my two tracks (more to come!) have been amazing. Hire him!

    Only great things to say.

    Dan is easy to work with, versatile, adept at picking up on direction/intent, and quick to make strong recommendations.

    I would gladly work with Dan again (and plan to).

    Dan is great, highly recommend. He nailed the drums on an experimental pop song and indie rocker I wrote and produced. Timely, great tones and easy to work with.
