Examples
Beyond techniques, what truly excites me is seeing ideas transform into polished, impactful tracks. This section is dedicated to tracks I’ve produced, mixed, or guided other artists on. My goal isn’t just to showcase a finished product, but to illustrate how specific challenges were overcome and how the sound quality was elevated.
Think of these examples as a glimpse of what we could achieve with your music. Notice how each track found its voice, its energy, and its place on the dancefloor. This is the journey I invite you to embark on.
Lezguy - RUN!
I mixed, and mastered this track, refining the arrangement with phase alignment and sidechain techniques. The mix highlights a punchy kick while leaving space for vocals and acid.
U25 - Between Two Dots
For this track which I co produced, I handled mixing, and mastering, focusing on balance and depth. Careful use of sidechain compression and spatial arrangement ensures clarity and impact across all frequencies.
Astral J - Hhh! Shhh!
I worked on the production, mix, and mastering of this track, optimizing the arrangement for maximum energy. The kick hits hard, the layers breathe, and the overall sound is crisp, polished, and club-ready.
