Studio launch: 3 mixes without a fee Alternative/Indie/Post-Punk

Hey, I'm Dinu – mixing/mastering engineer and founder of Second Kitchen Audio, a small, independent mixing studio in Rhineland-Palatinate. To celebrate the studio's launch in spring 2027, I'm offering 2-3 spots to bands or solo projects whose music really grabs me – as a collaborative mixing partnership. The offer: I'll mix and master one of your songs completely, free of charge, with up to two rounds of revisions. You'll also receive written notes on the arrangement, performance, and recording process to help you with your next release. In return: I get to showcase the finished product on my website, as a before/after comparison alongside your rough mix (both adjusted to the same loudness), and you credit me as the mixing and mastering engineer in your credits. If you're happy with the result, I'd love to hear your honest feedback. You retain all rights to your music – I'm only using the song for my portfolio. Ideally, the song should be fully recorded and available as individual tracks (WAV, all tracks starting from the same point). Everything is done remotely, so you can be anywhere. My goal isn't to polish everything to a high gloss (unless that's what you want) or force it into a genre mold, but rather to bring out the character, dynamics, and unique edges of your music. I recently mixed and mastered the album "True Artificial Love" by Chasing Grace. Listen to samples here: secondkitchen.de/de/work.html (the site is in German, but feel free to write to me in English or French if you prefer). Interested? Send me a link to your music, a few sentences about the song and your release plan by November 22nd – and let me know if any of you are GEMA members. Mixing will take place in December and January.
