We've had so much to do here at Decibel that it's a year since we updated the slate! Still too much to do so the updates have to wait a little longer... Sorry.
Please check us out at FACEBOOK for now. Thanks!
But we do have time to congratulate Johnossi who got a Swedish Grammis for "Band Of The Year" in January!
Here's A Few Decibel Related Releases:
Lykke Li - Get Some, Lisa Miskovsky - Violent Sky, Firefox AK - Boom Boom Boom and many many more...
The single "What's The Point" went straight to number one on the swedish Tracks-chart and it stayed there for five weeks.
Ronny Lahti came in to mix a Mikael Wihe album and Dagge was recording Magnus Lindberg & Basse Wickman and Yonder.
Let's review what has been going on in the studio in 2009 shall we:
As usual producer Björn Yttling has been in the studio working on tons of great stuff. Engineer Ronny Lahti was here mixing albums with Lars Winnerbäck, Nisse Hellberg and Peter Jöback. American producer Phil Ek was here working with the Shout Out Louds and that was a lot of fun.
Lasse did a lot of mixing with Anna Ternheim, Lykke Li, Shout Out Louds, Johnossi, Andreas Grega, Deportees, Sarah Blasko to name a few. We also had the great pleasure to have the fantastic singer/songwriter Jim Hanft and his equally fantastic sidekick Samantha Yonack here for a couple of weeks, recording on our own label Veranda Records. (Sam, if you don't want to be called Jims "sidekick", tell Petra and she will edit that out)
What else? Well, we've rebuilt Studio 2 to make it a bespoke mix room for Lasse (and since I am the one writing this I can tell you that I'm very happy with it)
It's a Pro Tools/Analog hybrid with amazing monitoring thanks to the guys at A.D.A.M who built the speakers and Audio Data Lab and Svanå Miljö Teknik who was in charge of the acoustics.
The first mix that was done in the room was Johnossis single "What's The Point".
First of all we would like to congratulate our clients who got some very prestigious awards this month. Anna Ternheim who got two Swedish Grammis for "Album Of The Year" and "Female Artist Of The Year".
