The Local Man™️
Been tracking and mixing all through this hot ass summer here in the High Desert! New music releasing damn near every week! Never thought I’d be able to do this full time but here I am 😎
With that being said… it’s getting cooler and it’s gonna be fall soon 😳 that means you ain’t gotta die sweating in the studio next time you record 🥵 tap in 📲

Day 1 with @severanceofall 🏌️♂️halfway done with drums. Got Aedan caged in with 20 mics. Some sneaky mics in there. We did NOT use the meinl 😂 Had a myriad of fuck ups with the new SSL stuff which lead to the death of my headphones watch me remember how to struggle through No Excuses at the end haha
Fuck with Brad Day™️ no seriously though. I’m very excited to finally have some dope shit running into the computer now. Leaving the Behringer and Midas pre’s in the dust (they served me well but it’s time to grow) and never looking back! Been tearing my head off about making this decision but with the amount people wanting to work with me, I felt like it was finally time. To all the folks who rock with me, hate on me, and watch from a distance. Thank you 🙏 it’s go time 📲📲📲
Been an SSL fanboy since I started this joint and I’m finally excited to own some swag from them. Gonna probably get around to posting clips but I’m so fucking slammed and busy. To be continued…
@abidfarewell.hc part 2. They came for revenge and just murdered the drums on the demo. Went home and leveled up their swag for tracking 🙏 added a bell and mono oh cuz of my recent fascination of Darrell Thorp videos haha. Guitars next ⚔️ whiplash scene was re-enacted and Aedan fucking died 😴
what a fun weekend with #os soldiers of hc. @snipers_nest rocked a bomb ass EP in two days. Think if The Flex was from Boston 🤔. Used some different stuff for certain things and enjoyed it. Put a hoodie underneath the floor tom and that killed so much nasty overtones. Finally rocked the Distort One on some guitars 🙏 Ampeg 🇺🇸 carried the strings all the way home. Excited to start mixing this lil fella. Let’s get some fucking PanPan wok
Had a fun first day with @abidfarewell.hc 🙏 changed it up and went with some strangers on the close mics and I loved the results. Shoutout to Logan for keeping local man laced with double pedals and bottom snare heads. had one blow out halfway thru the drums 💔 also got a chance to get the guitar sounds for tomorrow. HMW just that with the tube screamer into the VH300 😈 @ampturcoguitarwerks power cables in Barney purple for our amps from now on 🫂
First session of the year was with @recoilstraightedge familiar faces in a new band! All the love to the lo-desert ❤️ Coachella valley and the local man are like PB&J. Bonus: they are straight edge youth 🙏🫡
Also loved how this ported 90’s Spaun Acrylic Snare sounded
2025 is done! When I was recounting all the stuff I worked on this year, I was shocked to see this much was released this year. Especially after losing the spot, I didn’t think I did this much. A busy and insane year but I am blessed to be asked to work on all of these ❤️ it’s gonna be a pain in the ass to list every single release but I did not solo all of these 🫡 thankful to work with great audio people throughout all of these. Let’s rock in 2026 😛
