Our Ampeg b15n flip-top was close to death when the potted output transformer melted all over the components. Thanks to phillys finest tube amp guru it is back to life and sounding better than ever. It is now a brand new, hand wired, b15n…. F*%king awesome.

If you live in Philadelphia and need a tube amp saved or repaired… Bill Witmer is the man. You can reach him here…

Mastering King Kong Ding Dong and A Sunny Day in Glasgow

matt.coogan — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 18:49:40 +0000

I had the good fortune this year to help master two great albums for Philly bands.

I was really psyched to help in the mastering of A Sunny Day in Glasgow’s latest full length “ashes grammar”. Their recording process resulted in an awesome sounding record awash in ambient-ness. Mind blowing stuff

Also, King Kong Ding Dong has a new album out. Really cool stuff. Dirty acoustic guitars and bombastic drums. So many cool textures on that album. It was great fun helping Steve tweak the final masters. Definitely would love to help out with more of their stuff in the future.

If anyone is looking to master or mix their album. Hit me up.

It looks like they are theremins that can be controlled with knobs? They look like fun and they have a way cool style. From the site it seems they are all hand built one of a kind items.

matt.coogan — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 14:13:21 +0000

The Second installment of these production music tracks. Overworld’s big chords are reminiscent of a classic otherworldly track from the late nineties. Updated for today. Grab the full version and remix it yourself. All the elements are there, the chords drum tracks, bass line. Cut it up.

matt.coogan — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 19:39:16 +0000

We got asked back to play at the 18th st Lounge. I’m helping out with Keyboards again. Last time was a blast. We packed the outside deck tons of dancin” balzin horns and heavy beats.

So def try to make this, we will not disappoint. Again, we will be playing selections from the Rhythm and Culture repertoire. Tracks by Farid, Thomas Blondet, and Second Sky. It will be the pinnacle of downtempo, house and dub.

Oh and check out these shots from the last gig.
