In the Studio

MC Top Dropped In The Studio

Baltimore’s MC Top dropped by the studio last weekend to cut a few songs for his latest mix tape. He came in for the night and cut 4 songs. We were impressed with his output and thought we’d share a few samples here with you.

Y’all Come Back Now

Thanks to all of you who came out to the open house. We had a fantastic turn-out and enjoyed meeting many of you face-to-face. We hope to continue to host events where musicians can schmooze and brain-pick and hatch their next opus. If this is something you’d be down for, shoot us an email or sign up for our newsletter “Plugged In” at the top of this page.

Check Out Our Open House

We’ve been unofficially open for a few months now, but are finally getting around to hosting an open house. We wanted to give folks a chance to come by and check out the space, meet us and ask any questions they might have about how we do what we do. So whether you have a project in the works or not, come check us out. Thursday, July 24th, 6-9pm.

We’re into this whole idea of marrying visual art with a musical workspace so along with our open house, we’re kicking off a series of works of art by Baltimore artist Donald Edwards. He calls his process of recycling old art into new art: planned accidental evolution. Every new piece of work incorporates a part of his previous work. In a different medium, it reminds us of the music of our dear friend Mark Degliantoni in that he often samples his own earlier songs when creating new works.

So to celebrate our grand opening, we’re offering 1/3 off the normal rates on studio time if you call to book a session by July 31st. That’s right, ONE-THIRD! Cuz we’re cra-aazy Mobtown. CRAZY!

And finally, keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming story on us in the Baltimore Examiner. Not sure when it’s running, but should be in the next week.

Kadman Songs Tracked & Mixed

Just finished mixing two tracks for Kadman’s upcoming EP that we recorded last month. They’re taking some time off and planning to finish up in the fall. All around, I think we’re all pretty happy with what came out of their sessions. It’s very emotional dynamic stuff and makes for good listening. We spent some time working with the natural reverb from the room mics placed in the lounge and getting the range and energy they were looking for. Check out the clips below:

Kadman EP

Baltimore’s own Kadman came in to the studio last week to record 2 songs for their upcoming EP. The sessions went smoothly. We tracked drums, guitar and vocals. The bassist is on vacation and should be back in the next week or two to finish up his portion. We’ve done some rough mixes and they are sounding pretty good.
