UnD on SoundBetter

I'm a music producer and mixing/mastering engineer specializing in hardcore hip-hop and boom bap. I also work with most hip-hop subgenres, including trap, although I specialize in traditional hip-hop. My mixes are thick, punchy, and designed to hit hard while keeping every element clear and powerful.

I am a producer, mixing/mastering engineer, and rapper from Piraeus, Greece. I’ve been active in the underground hardcore battle rap scene for over three years and primarily work within the space of hardcore hip-hop and boom bap.

My mixes are characterized by strong compression, thickness, and punch, creating a unique sound that keeps the important elements clear and balanced while also maintaining the iconic gritty character.

I handle all of my mixing, mastering, and recording work in Pro Tools, while I produce in Ableton Live.

Hip-hop culture is very important to me, so I’m always interested in working with artists who share the same passion and respect for the game. I usually prefer collaborating with artists whose style is close to mine or whose music I genuinely connect with.

One important note: Please make sure your stems and recordings are of at least decent quality before sending them. A good mix and master always starts with a solid recording and strong production, so having clean stems makes a big difference.

Had one of my songs mastered by UnD and the result was amazing. They immediately understood what the track needed and delivered a master that sounds great everywhere. Fast, professional, and easy to work with. Highly recommended!

Interview with UnD

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: My debut EP "Autokatastrofi", while it is only 6 tracks, it took me 9 months to finalize the EP. I remastered all the songs on it more than twice and even got a videoclip for one of my songs.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am working on multiple projects, one being a solo LP and another being a Mixtape I am working on with my crew.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: No
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Digital. I'd love to experiment with analog gear but it is very expensive and I can't even afford the cheapest analog gear. Digital is also a bit more convenient
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: That at the bare minimum the mix/master is going to sound good across all devices.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: That there's no routine or structure, each time I do something different.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: I've been asked to produce but currently I only produce exclusively for people I know because I would not be able to handle the overload and burnout of constantly producing.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That I can magically fix a bad recording. If you want a good mix, you need a good recording that's just how it is
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What vibe they are going for, if they have any specific requirements they'd like, and if I can take the liberty to make some small adjustments/changes according to what they want based on what I believe they will like and consider might improve the track.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Be descriptive with what you want, it saves both of us time and you get a better result
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: None because I would have nowhere to plug them
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: Around 3 and a half years now, initially started learning music production for fun but eventually fell in love with it. I am mostly self taught, I was mentored at a professional studio for a couple of months and there I learned proper mixing/mastering, music and audio theory and had hands-on practice understanding the tools.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Gritty, Thick, Compressed, Melancholic. My style of production is sample-heavy and I am very selective with my samples. I like to create tension with my beats to compliment the hardcore and battle lyrics. My mixes/masters are always clean and booming.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Definitely the Method Man, love his style
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Always Mix at low volumes.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Hardcore Hip-Hop / Boom Bap. Occasionally might experiment with grime, trap and crunk. I also used to make techno
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I would say speed and efficiency, I'll have a professional mix done in a couple of hours and the master even sooner.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: The energy and the glue. Mixing and Mastering gives soul and energy to each track and is a must.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I tend to be very fast and precise, I like to get work done without wasting time. I have a "routine" you could say when it comes to mixing
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: It's a mini-studio in my room for now, soon moving out and expanding the studio.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Zontanoi Nekroi, Terror X Crew
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Mixing and Mastering
