Mat is one of the most intelligent and intuitive producer musicians I know. He was fundamental in presenting Soul Coughing remixes and bootlegs. Since then I have worked with him in studio and live performances, and he always brings out the best in musicians. Mat is a truly inspiring artist, I would work with him anytime.

Mobtown was EXACTLY what I always hoped for in a studio. I recorded most of my album myself but when it was time for the finishing touches I knew I needed a professional. Mat booked me an amazing drummer, recorded the drums, then mixed and mastered the EP. He did a spectacular job.

...Mobtown Studios is onto something entirely different, something that might resemble a bit more closely the future of music...

Mat is the kind of flexible, versatile, and open-minded person you want to make a record with. Whether you need him to arrange microphones and consider acoustics or edit beats with precision of a surgeon, whether you want industry standard polish or you want to make something personal and experimental, he has the experience and creative solutions to help you find the sound you're searching for.

Working with Mat was everything my band and I could have hoped for. Not only is he a great engineer with a fantastic ear, he's also incredibly personable, kind, and unfathomably generous. We're still in contact with him months after our session ended, and we cannot wait to work with him again.
- Serena Miller (Legends of Et Cetera)
We've worked with Mat on several albums for two projects, one involving a multilayered string quartet, and he is amazing to work with. So open-minded and knowledgeable, he always has great input and suggestions, or just new things to try out. He is so kind and makes everyone feel so comfortable at the studio, I could not imagine a better recording situation.
- Anna Meadors (Joy on Fire / Three Red Crowns)
We worked with Mat on our fourth studio album, and he was the first producer we worked with to really nail our live sound. He was very open to our ideas and worked really hard to do things how we wanted, all while elevating the recording with his own creative spin. He is super nice, which helps create a welcoming environment, and he knows every piece of his gear without being a snob.
- Craig Taylor (Lushfarm)
We came in with a difficult project - songs written collaboratively by 3 people who live in different states with scant rehearsal. Mat got us performing and sounding better than even we expected, and we had a blast in the process. Mat's skill as a producer and patience as an engineer stand out. Won't hesitate to use him again on projects large and small.

Music production isn’t just a job for us. It feeds our sense of curiosity and wonder. We enjoy fixing our own gear. We read up on things like how to use an acoustic guitar as a reverb chamber or how best to mic a bicycle. The learning never ends and we believe that we all sound better when we learn from each other. If you’re into that, venture forth into our blog about music production, home recording, gear and DIY tips.
