Slowsie - Late At Night
Poppy, light-hearted, and fun. Five bedroom pop / indie rock tunes that make you wanna play Tonk Hawk Pro-Skater again. Every song has a nice head bobbing vibe with some tasty lead riffs sprinkled throughout. I’ve been wanted to do a mix/master project like this for awhile so this certainly scratched my itch. Using techniques I’ve been waiting to apply for years. I’m happy to say with Slowsie’s writing and my production this came out to be a very nice laid-back yet outgoing cohesive EP.

Joseph Jason Miller - Boystown In Nebraska
Bright, cheerful, and bombastic. These two songs from JJM I’ve recently mixed and mastered are truly a cavalcade of sound. From folky driven guitar with some tasty licks, hard hitting drums, active and spacey synths, and to top it all off some ripping sax solos. Not to mention JJM’s unique vocal delivery, exploding harmonies, and topical lyrics certainly give a wonderful storytelling element to both songs. I cannot wait to see what he does next the instrumentation here is impressive and fun!

Georgey V - Car Parked Radio Vol. 2
Easily the best release from Georgey so far. Groovin simple bedroom POP songs. I stress the pop because these are funky. George still recording straight to his 16-track recorder. Then mixed at WRTI 90.1’s studios and the FKC studio. Using UA outboard gear to really bring out the sweet sweet tones that make up Georgey V. Ran thru a cassette recorder before mastering for pitching & speed adjustments.

Copley Woods - Contact
CW back with a full EP of hard hittin’ bops that brings you back to youthful angst. But nothing falls short or is trying in this EP. Kendall’s lead vocal is like a ship captain in some UFO battle, scored by heavy riffs with psychedelic influences and powerful time-dynamic drums. Recorded at WRTI 90.1’s performance studio on our analog 90s API board. CW is really carving out their style of sound with this EP. Gritty, groovin, and dare I say cinematic at times. From post-hardcore to some really heavy moments, these 6 bop.

Cosette Gobat - Summer Sunshine
Smooth, slow, and somber. This passive moment in time is a gorgeous, shimmery quick track of dissociation. Cosette’s beautiful vocals are layered and washed out just right to go with the drone-y lofi guitar and flowing bass guitar notes dropping in almost seamlessly. Certainly a enthralling and peaceful song that you can easily lose yourself in. First master using UA outboard gear. More to come from Cosette~

Yahnboi - About It Or Doubt It
A honest, wholesome, melancholy record from Yahnboi. Recorded at WRTI Studios, all songs performances were recorded live vocals and guitar. Overdubbed slide guitar, bowed saw, grand piano, melodica, and more. Some tracks I would copy the entire performance and pitch up for shimmering effects (features in “In Yer Car”). As well as using experimental autotune effects in the last 2 songs. This certainly was a fun and beautiful record to make.

Copley Woods - Transmissions Pt. 3
A 3 track EP, with themes of aliens and UFO’s. Groovin hard hitting choruses, distorted guitars harmonizing each other to give a full hard punch each track. Kendall Sharpe, the main writer and guitarist/vocalist uses heavy effects on his guitar giving their hardcore vibes an otherworldly texture throughout this release. As well as other (former) guitarist and vocalist Shai Bender contrasting Kendall’s screams & effects with beautiful singing moments and a cutting lead crunch guitar. Not to mention an extremely tight rhythm section holding down the grooves and low end to give those droney endings another enthralling element to them.

Sami Rahman - California (ft. People Eating Fruit)
Originally was going to be a collab with my alias Just the Architects. Where I added multiple layers of my voice harmonizing, guitar parts, and synth throughout the song. Sami bringing his piano sounds, small guitar riff, sub bass, and grooving vocal lines. The PEF group comes in the 1st verse with silly, fast, and group harmonies. Me, Paul, and Sami harmonize together in the bridge leading to the build up. Chopping up Paul & Sami’s vocals with heavy delay. All the while a dripping hiphop beat keeps it all together.
Released: August 23rd, 2019

Sami Rahman - Apology [single]
A crunchy unconventional pop song. Using distorted drum hits that resemble 90’s drum machines with sub bass and 808s of today. White noise tracks & crunch guitar give this a certainly different texture that you’d find in this style. Adding guitar, harmonies, and drum layers on top of Sami’s original tracks. Apology is a dark sadboi 2019 pop moment.
Released: August 16th, 2019

Georgey V - SMILE!
Georgey drops another beautiful EP doing what he does best. Recorded analogue by George, I mixed with George’s direction. I had to trigger the drums to lofi-hiphop oneshots to give it that cassette vibe. And if that wasn’t enough we through it into a 4 track YAMAHA cassette recorder and George adjusted the pitch and speed on all the tracks. Then I mastered the newly pitched tracks. SMILE! is arguably Georges best work to date, the signature wavey style of the synths and guitars with a beautiful acoustic track to end the EP. With each release George expands his boundaries yet hones in on his style in a very unique way.

Cerulean Blue - Silver Birch [single]
New single from Cerulean Blue truly captures the “Gentle Breeze” we’ve been talking about. Starting with spacey / other-worldly pads and triumphant violin. The song swells and bursts into the verse with a solid rhythm; w/the classic Cerulean Blue guitar tone, rim clicks, and bends and swells from the violin & bass. Ending features some haunting harmonies, and just as abruptly as it started, it ends. A beautiful moment in time captured in 1:40.
Released: July 21st, 2019
Sami Rahman - Do Rite ft. King Anne [single]
Tropical chill-wave hiphop vibes from Sami. Bringing amazing vocalist King Anne, smooth chords and crunchy drums. I added acoustic guitar and multiple layers of percussion to give that island vibe. King Anne’s vocals are paired with plucky synths and reversed chords. An overall haunting, chill-out summer evening bop.
Released: July 12th, 2019

Cerulean Blue - Disco Cowboy [single]
Cerulean Blue is back with a solid single with reversed reverb vocals and drippy wurly deep synth leads and basses. Active bass and drums grooving and flying around the song. And of course Kevin Brusha’s signature guitar tone plucking and strumming along with little harmonics peaking out and shaping the song’s shape.
Released: April 8th, 2019
Sami Rahman - Useless [single]
Another single from Sami but taking a drastic turn in styles. Sami dives right into smooth R&B / electronica with gentle layers of keys and synths below breathy harmonies. Including distorted guitar & drum breaks and deep bass. Rahman crushes it on this new single with so much more to come.
Released: March 31st, 2019
PhillyGreen - This Is What I Moved Here For
A friendly and nostalgic little EP from Indie / Pop-Punk band PhillyGreen. Recorded drums & guitar in a basement and the rest at Mister Johns Music. With their early 2000s vibe and modern indie sound, PhillyGreen delivers on a sweet a salty 6 songs for spring/summer time drives.
Released: March 22nd, 2019
Sami Rahman - NO THUNDER [single]
An angry distorted trap banger. Sami created most of the basic elements of the track then passed the stems over to me. After adding loops, synths, SFX, & heavy bass I re-recorded Sami’s vocals at Mister Johns Music then mixed and mastered. Check out the music video for this dark banger.

Georgey V - Car Parked Radio Vol. 1
A fun few songs from Georgey V. George recorded on his Boss BR-1600, and played all instruments except for Branden Bauer (Past Life) on drums. George set the levels where he wanted on my setup & I mixed and mastered the 3 tracks. Lively fun EP with synth, vocal layers, and tasteful rhythm section.

Georgey V - American Television
An awesome step up from Georgey V with retro video-game styled synths, bolder instrumentation, sweet doubles, and chilling harmonies. Recorded on Georgey's 8-track tape machine, after I mixed, mastered, and with little production this record is a memorable gem from Georgey V.

Diaphane - Red Shift EP
A collection of acoustic based songs I mixed & mastered, written and recorded by Kyle Blessing with the exception of "I Won't Love You Always" recorded by Tim Jordan. From experimental live string elements, ASMR sounds, noise walls, and smooth distant harmonies with light and gritty guitar riffs make Red Shift a unique EP.

line leader - WILT
This album is a hard punch to the face of garage rock and jammin' indie-pop riffs that make a tasty record. Produced by Kevin Brusha and recorded over the course of 2 years from DIY spaces the "Sex Dungeon" & "Big Mama's." Finalized by my mastering techniques help give this album the driving energy that is line leader.

Melancholyfox - Emma's Home
Local to Philadelphia & NJ, electronic artist Melancholyfox produced and mixed these 6 dark electro dance tracks. A combo of IDM, industrial, and ambient makes "Emma's Home !" stand out from rest of their discography. Myself being already heavily saturated in electronic music production for myself mastering this record was a pleasure.

Cerulean Blue - Take It or Leave it
Prior to my involvement with Cerulean Blue, Kevin Brusha with the help of Kyle Blessing created these four songs within "Big Mama's" DIY studio. Recorded and mixed by Buzz Jordan & produced by Kevin. I was the last stop for these tracks as I mastered them with the influence of Kevin & the rest of the band.

Onett - P.S. Go Bills

The Carousel Horses - You're Too All About It
One of the first full freelance jobs I've done. Before TCH was a full band it was solely artist Andrew Hight with 2 fill-in drummers, myself & Joe Balogh. Individually tracking each instrument, mixing/mastering, and some creative producing. These songs still hold a special place in my heart.
