Joanna Katcher produced a little collection of great songs for Kid in the Attic, and they are finally coming out! I mastered this project a while back and it was a pleasant surprise to get tagged upon it’s release. Enjoy!
I felt great about being involved as the sonic book ends of the upcoming Lady Moon album. I engineered the basic tracking sessions at Atomic Sound in Red Hook, and then got to master the completed album recently. Greg and the band put an incredible amount of work into this album and it’s a great listen. Look for the album this spring and check out the first video for the track “Rollercoaster” below.
“Friends” from Season 2 of Flight of the Conchords was featured in this Marmot advertisement during the game. Fun little tune that I engineered a while back for the show and their albums.
Check it out below
Danish band, Yellowbellies, released a video for the first single off their upcoming LP I had the pleasure of mastering. Soren and the boys made a great album, please take a moment and have a look & listen to “1000 Churches”
Caverns recently recorded a cover of CCR’s “Long As I Can See The Light” in their rehearsal space and I put a quick mix n master on it for them. Check it out below and go see them at Hotel Cafe next week in LA, cuz I will be!
Recently during Converse Rubber Tracks worldwide studio takeover, I was captain of the ship in Brooklyn and Los Tiros came up from South America to drop the synthy jams.
No idea what this song says about the moon, but it’s great to listen to. Had fun working on the tracks. Enjoy:

EASTER, one of the vibier bands I recorded back in Berlin for Converse Rubber Tracks summer before last. They’ve held onto this for quite a while and are now releasing one of the songs I engineered and mixed for the band. Check out the video below:

The kid said, “Get ready cause this ain’t funny
My name’s Mike D. and I’m about to get money.”
Pulled out the jammy aimed it at the sky
He yelled, “Stick ’em up!” and let two fly
Hands went up and people hit the floor
He wasted two kids that ran for the door
“I’m Mike D. and I get respect
Your cash and your jewelry is what I expect”
One lone Beastie I Be… Well check this one off the bucket list. Mike D came in as the ‘hero’ producer for Winnipeg hiphop group “The Lytics” Rubber Tracks sessions last week and I was in the engineer’s chair. Mike and I worked on the tracks and he helped produce the group performances. We mixed and mastered two songs with them as they head out to Europe for a tour.
I probably wouldn’t be doing what I am doing if it wasn’t for the Beastie Boys, so this was incredibly special for me to get to work with a hero of mine for two days.
One of the recent bands that came through Rubber Tracks was Los Tiros from Argentina. We had such a fun time in the studio and managed to get two songs completely worked up, recorded and mixed. Hopefully they’ll be out soon, but in the meantime check out their interview with Brightest Young Things
