This role is for a skilled mixing and mastering engineer to collaborate on a personal album project inspired by the iconic sounds of 1970s disco, rock, and synthwave pop. The project aims to capture the rich, dynamic, and characterful essence of artists like The Bee Gees and Giorgio Moroder, steering away from modern, overly polished production in favor of authentic vintage warmth.
