Hi Guys, if you're thinking of recording or getting some tracks that never quite sounded right properly mixed or getting some new tracks mastered then please come by & check out some new tracks that I've posted. Rock, Pop, electro, Dance, Acoustic, I'll make them sound so that you'll be proud to hear them on the radio. Recent & current bands include..... Resort, Rainy day women, Dylan Ollivierre, Jane Coby & the Kil Names, Matt Larsen, Leigh Southerland & lots more. I think you'll like my daily rate as well.

Cheers, Damo.
