As a label boss myself it’s great to have newer labels like Keinemusik, Klektik, Tulipa, Perspectiv, Paso, and Area Remote bringing us new and emerging talent – conclusive proof that the underground electronic scene is flourishing across the globe from Berlin to Chicago to St. Louis. **Tulipa exclusively uses iMastering for all of their releases**

I’ve been using Intellectual Mastering for few months now, and I am impressed by the quality on the final product. Definitely one to choose if you ask me and I’m stayin with it.

Make no mistake about it, Tony’s ear for quality is unmatched.   For mastering or mix downs, look no further.  Tony gets the job done and then some.

Being the owner of a quality music label, Tulipa Recordings, I am very concerned that my tracks remain consistent in the dynamics that is so common amongst high-quality record labels these days. I go to Tony for all of my mastering needs. I have even had instances where tracks were presented to me already mastered, and I told the artist to go ahead and send me the unmastered instead- so I can get a quality master done by Tony. My favorite thing about Tony’s mastering is that every range, from the lowest lows to the highest highs, are equally brought out in the mix, enhanced, and redefined. On top of that, the tracks he puts his magic touch on are industry-standard loud in volume, without sounding at all flat. He is very flexible with what the artist wants in the final product. For instance in my particular case- I always want the mids brought out a little extra bit in my masters. This is just my personal preference. For Tony, this is no problem. He will always master my tracks exactly how I like, and I am always one hundred precent pleased. On top of all these things already stated, communication is easy and he works efficiently. Tony has mastered tracks for my label, which are currently being supported by Hernan Cattaneo, Erphun, Jamie Stevens, Chloe Harris, Abyss, and more. These artists appreciate the quality of the sound I am certain. I exclusively use intellectual Mastering and no one else. Period.

Although I already knew Tony (Bove) from local underground and club culture, it the recommendation of several peers and acquaintances that led me towards Intellectual Mastering. His theories and ideas for mastering complimented my own: not sacrificing depth and quality in order to have the track overly hot (loud). Why fatigue the quality of sound of the music and the physical limitations of the system it is being played on when you can have the true depth and complexity. So for me, it was Tony’s ear for quality that led UnitOvOne Recordings to have our diverse catalog mastered by iM. From Minimal Techno to Drum & Bass to Noise to Glitch, Tony brings out the best in all of our projects.

Whenever my music is finished by Intellectual Mastering I am always pretty sure about the perfect quality because Tony has already proved several times that he treats it quite precisely and with accuracy. Every time my music is mastered by him I feel like they are reborn.

The mastering done on Nearly Wolves was definitely a work of art. Nice booming bass and the high end was nice and crisp. IM does top notch professional work. I highly recommend people to use their service.

After sending to Intellectual Mastering to master my tracks, I finally was signed to be apart of labels (Chiba Records – Germany and UnitOvOne – USA), to become professional and be recognized in my country (Brazil). I am very pleased with the result of the completion of my tracks. Each track has been treated differently. I intend to have a partnership for many years with Intellectual Mastering. Thanks Tony. SLOP ON iM ASSISTING W/ GETTING HIS TRACKS SIGNED: “I was just about to give my tracks to a very doubtful netlabel when iM warned me that my music is good and could find a more serious label for release. Tony, (the iM owner) offered me help to find a serious label. After a few days, I noticed that our partnership was very beyond just mastering! He submitted the tracks to one of his partners UnitOvOne Records, who soon signed me to RED, a sub label that’s more dedicated to my genre (techno) of music. iM definitely went beyond mastering. This really is networking.”

I now use iM exclusively for my mastering. Tony’s fantastic ear, and receptiveness to my needs as an artist provide me with the best quality product I could wish for. Not only does Tony take my music to the next level sonically, but he has utilized his industry contacts to help find my music a home with a label. You could not ask for more!

Holy crap dude, just did a comparison between the old (other mastering company) and the new (iM). Your version is louder, less squashed, deeper, hits harder , and I like the over all sound better. Worth every penny bud! You have got yourself a repeat customer!

I highly recommend that any producers, bands, and pop artist that need their tracks mastered should look no further than I.M. Tony does an amazing job at mastering. Trust me from personal experience, he made my forthcoming release on Tupila recordings sound amazing.

T-lec’s (Tony’s) style of finishing a song brings that element of complete to all my tracks it’s always a pleasure to work with him. Big up’s T.

IM really came through for me when it was crunch time. Having to get an EP mastered within such a short period, he was able to master my tracks before the deadline, while making sure that I was more than satisfied with the end result. I will definitely use IM for future projects.

With his high quality processing equipment, Tony can make tracks sound superb that would otherwise not be passable. He salvaged an old track of mine that lacked the original build file, helping save one of my favorite compositions.

When I first heard the sample clip of the mastered and unmastered audio I already knew that I was going to be happy. The audio was so clear and every note hit with definition. I can’t wait to have my next two live sets mastered by Tony!
