Before We Talk About Ourselves, We Want You To Know:
IT’S ABOUT YOU!

​If you’re tired of your music being turned into another generic “modern metal track” with that same cannon‑snare and the same amp‑sim preset used on every record since 2018, LET’S TALK. We are passionate about helping artists find their unique sound—organic, yet brutally heavy, with maximum sonic impact. We want to help you own your sound and be the hero of your own story!

About Yan

I’m a professional music producer, mixing engineer, and mastering engineer specialising in heavy music. I am also one of a few academics in the world with a PhD degree in Metal Music Production Studies. I’ve helped many artists develop their signature sound while staying competitive in the heavy music scene.

Some of my notable clients include Charles E.A. Hedger (Mayhem, The Kovenant), Anabelle Iratni, Horror of Pestilence, Garden of Rememberance (founded by a member of My Dying Bride), Parasitic Eve, Veile, Hi-Fi Coup and Omnifear.

My studio is equipped with state‑of‑the‑art gear, including real guitar amps (Peavey 5150 Block Letter from 1992, Mesa Dual Rec Rev G from 1998, and a Dan Gower‑modded Marshall JCM 800), analogue outboard, and top‑tier plugins to achieve the heaviest sound possible.

 

LET’S MAKE SOMETHING BRUTAL TOGETHER!

Charles E.A. Hedger (Ghul) of Mayhem and The Kovenant

Charles E. A. Hedger (Mayhem, The Kovenant)

"Yan is an exceptional producer with a very clear understanding of how to get inside the music and bring out the best of your vision. In my case he took decades old badly recorded files and turned them into an amazing sounding album that vastly exceed my expectations and hopes. He has seemingly endless patience and an insanely vast skillset."
