Pop Punk Mastering: KISS ME! “Summer Says”

Here’s a preview of a recent pop punk mastering project at Nagasaki Sound. The band is “Kiss Me!”, an extremely talented gang from Sydney, Australia. Think Blink 182, but with a fresher vibe. Members Ian, Jesse, Josh, and Tyler kick some serious ass – check ‘em out! Read more

Djent Mastering: APES WITH HOBBIES “While You Were Oort”

Djent mastering client APES WITH HOBBIES has a killer album out now, entitled Breakfast on Europa. Keeping to its otherworldly theme, this album is far out. BoE displays elements of djent, metal, electronica, and classical, blended together masterfully by the band. Mastered here late last year, this project has a solid spot in the Nagasaki personal listening collection. This sample is from one of our favorite tracks on the disc, “While You Were Oort.” Read more

Hard Rock Mastering: Black Wolf Howl

I had a great time working on this hard rock mastering project for Black Wolf Howl. From their ReverbNation profile: “Black Wolf Howl is half of El Paso, Texas blues rock band, Sweet Wolf. Opting for a darker, heavier sound, Black Wolf Howl draws on blues-infused grooves and infectious hooks, driven by searing guitar riffs.” The band and mix engineer Moss were looking to retain a warm, dark, dirty vibe in the mastering process. We ended up with a nice treatment that will make you want to shower after listening. Killer! Read more
