Mixpppens (the x is silent, as is the third p) and I have been busy mixing the new LP this past couple weeks. We’ve got a couple more mixing collabs in the pipeline, and then our calendar finally opens up. I’ve been loving living this but dream of tracking a record again so I can keep my social skillz sharp like mixpppens clawz. Always still happy to mix a record, master one, or all of the above. HMU in the DMs to make rock happen in 2025.

I'm particularly proud of my work on the new episode of the award-winning podcast - so proud that I took this posed photo of myself looking proud. I've been having fun adding soundscapes with our Juno synth and sound effects for a more immersive listening experience.

As always, phenomenal and important storytelling from my exceedingly impressive and talented love, Stacy.

This is Damion- he’s been studio staff for over 6 years. We took these photos three years ago when his last record came out. I’ve photoshopped the new cover over the old one to celebrate the release of his new record “I’m Gonna Lose Control”. It’s an exemplary collection of snappy riffs, sizzling hooks, moody sounds, and dusky imagery. It’s good. REAL good. Congratulations on another killer record, dude.

Recorded and produced here by Lewis Rogers and .ritter, drummed by and mixed and mastered here by .

See you at the LP release show tomorrow night at The Bishop Bar

Glad to have White Reaper and Joey Oxaca at the studio for a few days.

Do you wish you could make a record here? Stop wishing and start making. L Rent the studio to make all of your next hit records as an artist, engineer, producer, or all of the above.

Keep it classy. TTYL.

I put yesterday's mixing video on our youtube channel in case anyone wants to watch/hear it with (much) better audio - I didn't realize the quality was so bad on Reels. Link in bio, nerds.

Here are some awesome photos of the studio by our forever friend for a new website that’s launching this year.

Better late than never, I suppose: 2024 was a year full of making many great records. We had the pleasure of recording, mixing and mastering records for local nomad Patrick Jennings, former Bloomington legends Evening Standards, and hometown heroes like Damion, Mindfully Blind, Grace Newlin, Piney Woods, and George Moropurgo. I was lucky enough to remotely mix about a dozen records last year for non-local artists including Mute Forest (Denver), Major Murphy (Grand Rapids), Fern Murphy (Indy), Daz and the Demons (Los Angeles), Long Twins (Portland), The Royal Firecrackers (San Francisco), Into It/Over It (Chicago), and Charm School (Lousivlle), and the distinct honor of hosting Baltimore’s Angel Du$t (Baltimore). We feel very lucky to be able to work with such special folks in our special studio.

This year is already shaping up to be pretty solid - please get in touch if you’d like to secure some dates, whether you want to come record, have us mix or master something, or you’re a freelance engineer that wants to make a record here (we’ve got accommodations). We do it all, baby, and we do it well.

David Lynch embodied pure artistic creativity to the limit. What a treasure to human existence.

Three of our studio cats were named after Twin Peaks characters (Special Agent Dale Cooper, Josie, and Vivian), and here is an amazing drawing by my friend Jen Miller of BUB as Log Lady' log. I originally wanted to name our live room, live iso room and dead room the Great Northern, The Black Lodge, and The White Lodge.

Thanks for your art and inspiration, David Lynch.

At the beginning of this year I finally got to officially say bye to BUB, in the middle of the year I lost my friend and mentor Steve Albini, a few weeks ago I lost my dad, and there’s more that I don’t care to talk about. It has been a year of monumental losses, to say the least. But it's also a year of closure and new beginnings. This year, I wrapped up tons of really big projects, some of which I had been working on for years, and that feels good. I’m really looking forward to a New Year and some new exciting projects. Huge thanks to and Alex Mann for their hard work this year and keeping this place awesome. Happy New Year, ya nerds.
