EDM / House Mixing & Mastering

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: One project I’m especially proud of is “Be With You” by LSTEN. I was involved as the producer, mixing engineer and mastering engineer. It was rewarding to shape the track from the production stage through to the final master, keeping the musical idea consistent while building the clarity, energy and polish needed for a finished release.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: I’m focused on developing SONIQ SOUNDS and collaborating with artists and producers who want their EDM and House releases to sound finished, competitive and true to their vision. I’m always interested in music with a strong emotional core and a clear artistic direction.

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

A: SoundBetter has many talented specialists, and I prefer recommending someone based on the exact needs of the project. If a client needs a specific vocalist, songwriter, instrumentalist or producer, I am always happy to help point them toward a suitable collaborator.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: Digital, because it gives me precision, flexibility and recall throughout the mixing and mastering process. It allows me to work efficiently, make detailed adjustments and keep revisions transparent, while the most important thing remains the musical decision, not the format.

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

A: My promise is straightforward: I will treat your music with care, communicate clearly and work toward a result that supports your artistic vision. You can expect honest feedback, reliable delivery and a collaborative process focused on making your track release-ready.

Q: What do you like most about your job?

A: I enjoy the moment when a track starts to feel complete: the groove locks in, the vocal finds its place, the low end becomes confident and the emotion comes through clearly. I especially love when small, thoughtful changes in the mix or arrangement make a song feel worlds better. Helping an artist hear their own music at its full potential is the most rewarding part.

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A: Clients often ask whether a mix or master will sound good everywhere. My answer is that no two systems sound identical, but the goal is to make the track translate reliably across the places people actually listen: headphones, cars, speakers, clubs and streaming platforms. That is always a key part of my process.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: A common misconception is that mixing and mastering are simply about making a song louder. The real work is about creating balance, impact, clarity and translation, so the music keeps its energy and emotion on different systems without becoming harsh, flat or tiring.

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: I ask what the artist wants listeners to feel, where the track is intended to be heard, and which reference tracks best represent the target sound. I also ask what they already love about the production, what they feel is missing, and whether there are any specific mix or mastering concerns to solve.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A: Choose someone whose work genuinely fits your music, not only someone with impressive credits or equipment. Share a few reference tracks, explain what you love about your own production and be open about what is not working yet. The best results come from clear communication and a shared vision.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: A reliable computer, headphones I truly trust, and emulations of three timeless tools: an LA-2A compressor, a Pultec EQ and the Oxford Limiter. That would be enough to create, shape and finish music anywhere.

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: My path into audio began with a deep interest in how music can feel powerful and emotional across different listening environments. I trained in Audio Engineering at SAE Institute Hamburg and founded SONIQ SOUNDS to help artists and producers bring their music to a professional, release-ready level through mixing and mastering.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: Clean, modern and emotionally focused. I aim for mixes and masters with punch, depth and clarity, while preserving the character that makes the artist and track unique. For EDM and House, that means controlled low end, confident energy and a polished sound without sacrificing feeling.

Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

A: I would love to work with an artist who combines emotional songwriting with forward-thinking electronic production, someone in the space between radio-ready dance music and genuine artistic identity. Those projects are exciting because the mix has to deliver both intimacy and scale.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: If you are unsure how much low end to remove from an instrument or sample, start with a low-pass filter and listen to what is actually happening below the frequency you are considering cutting. If there is no useful musical information there, switch it to a high-pass filter at that point. This helps you make intentional EQ decisions instead of cutting low end by habit.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: I mainly work on EDM and House, including commercial dance music and melodic electronic productions. I enjoy tracks that need modern impact, clean low end, wide atmosphere and enough clarity to work both on streaming platforms and in a club-oriented context.

Q: What's your strongest skill?

A: My strongest skill is identifying what a song still needs to reach its full potential. Even after repeated listens, I stay objective and constructive, focusing on the details that can improve the emotional impact, balance and overall direction without losing what makes the track unique.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I bring perspective, structure and attention to detail. A strong production can lose impact when the low end feels unclear, vocals do not sit naturally or the arrangement lacks depth. My role is to make the essential elements feel intentional, cohesive and ready to connect with listeners.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I start by listening to the track as a whole and discussing the artist’s vision, references and release goal. Then I organize and prepare the session, build the balance from the foundations upward, and shape the mix with a focus on groove, energy and emotion. Before delivery, I check the result on different listening perspectives and leave room for feedback and revisions.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: My setup is built around a focused digital workflow for critical listening, mixing and mastering. I keep the process streamlined and reliable so that I can concentrate on the things that matter most: balance, detail, low-end control, vocal clarity and a mix that translates consistently across different playback systems.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: I’m inspired by artists and producers who combine strong songwriting with a modern, emotionally direct electronic sound. Robin Schulz, Martin Garrix and David Guetta are great examples of how polished production, memorable hooks and club energy can work together on a global level.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: I help artists and producers turn self-produced EDM and House tracks into release-ready records through mixing and mastering. My focus is clarity, balance, depth and impact, while making sure the song translates beyond the studio, from headphones to cars, clubs and streaming platforms.
