MAIN CONTEST

We have an absolute BANGER of a tune for our main contest this month! I’m thrilled to present “Lozer” by the band “As We Are”…..Huge thanks to band member Giulio Ferrara for providing us with this amazing song. This production is a huge testament to the power of a strong mix. The raw tracks (organic drums, and guitar DI’s) were sent to one of Italy’s top mixer/producers, Fabricio Pan, who turned this recording into an incredible pop punk song. Have a listen for yourself….the video ROCKS! We are so lucky to be able to mix this song at Tourna-mix – please show the band some love and give them a “like” on youtube! Should be a sick contest this month! Get on it!

Here’s how this song was recorded…..Giulio Ferrara says:
