Bad Unkl Sista
I just finished mixing this cool project by Bad Unkl Sista. We recorded and mixed the music at Hyde Street Studios. This project had some instrumentation that I don’t come across that often: Throat singing, Hang, Giant 50″ drum with handmade iron tongue drum sitting on it, bowls, duduk. The project came out sounding great and they are raising money to promote and take the show on the road. So throw some cash down already!!
