The first one is Hashension, their third studio album. It’s an important record for Tons, and I’m particularly proud of it because for the first time all of us (meaning the band & me) took part in the songwriting, and you can definitely feel it. We had a great time recording, unleashing a great dose of creativity alltogether. Compared to the old records, it’s mature. It’s heavier, it’s more psychedelic, it’s way more personal. There are all the classic elements of Tons music, but put together in a very different way, marking a step up from their previous stuff. They raised the bar, quite a lot.

The second Tons release coming out today is the 10th anniversary reissue of Musineè Doom Sessions, Vol. 1, which I originally recorded & mixed and that I remastered for this occasion. MDS has been the first official record I did all by myself at the very beginning of my career, so I kinda knew where I wanted to go soundwise but I didn’t have the mixing skills to get there. Lorenzo Stecconi did a great job pushing my mixes and making them loud, but I took this opportunity to make a new master, more faithful to the vision I had back then and I couldn’t achieve. It’s been cool to look back to these last ten years, I’m looking forward to the next ones tho!

You can find both records at Heavy Psych Sounds webstore: https://www.heavypsychsounds.com/shop.htm

]]> Tutti I Colori Del Buio – The Last Session out now! https://danilobattocchio.com/2020/03/this-was-meant-to-be-a-preproduction-but-it-ended/ Wed, 11 Mar 2020 15:14:53 +0000 http://danilobattocchio.com/2020/03/11/this-was-meant-to-be-a-preproduction-but-it-ended/ This was meant to be a preproduction, but it ended being the last recording session we had with Tutti I Colori Del Buio. We decided to release it anyway, one year after the band split.
All the engineering done by yours truly.

]]> Si Vis Pacem by Magnitudo out now https://danilobattocchio.com/2016/05/last-april-i-spent-a-week-with-these-guys-working/ Tue, 31 May 2016 09:12:00 +0000 http://danilobattocchio.com/2016/05/31/last-april-i-spent-a-week-with-these-guys-working/ Last April I spent a week with these guys, working on their debut ep, titled Si Vis Pacem.
This is Choroú Lárisas, possibly my favourite track from it.

]]> Gufonero EP https://danilobattocchio.com/2016/03/gufonero-ep/ Fri, 18 Mar 2016 08:18:46 +0000 http://danilobattocchio.com/2016/03/18/gufonero-ep/ In the last couple weeks I’ve been working on Gufonero’s first ep, which has been digitally released yesterday (tape and 7″ are on their way).

It’s been quite a fun mixing, since they’re just two people (drums and bass, both of them sing) and did some kind of basic recordings in their room, so I had to be creative and follow a different workflow from my usual, trying some new solutions – and seeing them working!

]]> Bolle & Rock’n’Roll by Derelitti https://danilobattocchio.com/2015/09/here-comes-bolle-rocknroll-by-i-derelitti-a/ Tue, 29 Sep 2015 09:01:54 +0000 http://danilobattocchio.com/2015/09/29/here-comes-bolle-rocknroll-by-i-derelitti-a/ Here comes Bolle & Rock’n’Roll by I Derelitti, a protopunk/garage band from Torino who came to me last springtime to record a couple tracks which ended being their goodbye single.

Quite different stuff for me, a heavily melodic pop production, but still I enjoyed challenging my usual work routine.

]]> Tons’ Exclusive Holidays 7″ out now! https://danilobattocchio.com/2014/12/tons-exclusive-holidays-7-out-now/ Thu, 25 Dec 2014 11:09:44 +0000 http://danilobattocchio.com/2014/12/25/tons-exclusive-holidays-7-out-now/ Today Tons released their Exclusive Holidays 7", better known as the Tons Christmas 7", which has been recorded, mixed and mastered by me, with the precious help of my buds Paolo Paganelli and Paul Beauchamp.
It’s been a super funny experience, two tracks arranged and recorded in two nights, with lots of friends, beer and good times.

Here you can stream the two tracks (16 Tons, by Merle Travis and The Man Comes Around, by Johnny Cash). Enjoy!
