Andy Sarnoff has produced a live-off-the-floor 8-song collection of Tongue Fu’s latest output and Lou Molinaro and the lads are bringing the project in, starting this first week in March for several guitar overdubs and then mixing.

The Browntasauras Record Label paired with Mastering Tone Guru
Browntasauras Records and I (here at Psychotropic Mastering Lab) have recently finalized a mutually sweet arrangement in which all Browntasauras Records recording Artists’ projects will be mastered by me. It makes perfect sense. Brownman and I have been working together for almost 20 years now, having been introduced to each other by Ritesh Das of […]
In the works…
I’ve started working with a band from the 1970s which is resurfacing at the behest of fans. The band is “WARPIG” and Rick Donmoyer contacted me to help him track and mix material the various members of the band have created since WARPIG broke up over 30 years ago. To date we are nearing completion […]

Gail Obediah’s Album “Let The Eagle Fly”
For 3 years, this fine lady has been waiting on a miracle to complete her life’s work, “Let The Eagle Fly”. This past autumn we began by helping Gail collect all the media from various studios scattered in the Golden Horseshoe. We were able to retrieve all the tracks and compile, re-record and assemble this […]
Who’s been in the Studio this year so far?
Well I know it’s been since the fall of last year since we last updated you all. No complaints. I’m on it now. The autumn and winter of 2015-2016 was filled with the re-treatment of Jim Italiano’s latest project, “Like A Rolling Stone”. Jim faithfully came, reworked, re-recorded, remixed and finally I mastered this album […]
What A Summer!
Well it really has been an excellent summer working together with JAMES ALPHONSE recording and mixing his first self-titled solo EP. And he’s already procured a Synch Broker who is placing one track on a TV show. Check https://james-alphonse.bandcamp.com/album/james-alphonse. It makes perfect sense for this talented young singer/songwriter to be getting action from the industry […]
