Sound engineers that don’t cook. Or make cocktails.

Sound engineering is about ratios. Same is cooking.

“everyone needs to shut the fuck up talking hella sideways about these kinds of songs. There’s party music and there’s hip-hop. Yes I love true hip-hop but i’m not gonna bump talib kweli if i’m trying to get buck.

Barry Moser (please tell me how)

fuck yes, this is the way.
