I am here for Networking

About Me

I am an audio engineer and producer that has been making records for several years. Using a modest assortment of equipment, I have engineered, produced, co-produced and mixed numerous albums and assorted singles and eps for local Perth bands. I am also an experienced musician, songwriter and arranger.
My partner in sonic adventures is Jason Hayles. A very talented engineer and producer from the friendly state of Victoria. Jason, like myself is an experienced musician, songwriter and arranger. Jason has also recorded numerous albums, eps and singles. He is also an accomplished mastering engineer.
At Big Dog, we offer you a wide variety of quality microphones, an awesome sounding analogue desk, numerous eclectic valve and solid state pre-amps from the 60s, plus possibly the only 24 track 2 inch Studer tape machine this side of the country. We have recently upgraded our digital system and can offer exceptional high quality digital recording. The 002 in the photo will be destroyed soon. Did we mention the awesome sounding tracking room...
Anyhow, since We're on a never ending quest to make perfect records, feel free to contact us about recording either thru this site or just ring me Matthew (Smokey) direct - 0427 571 426 or Jason on - 0423 445 154.
Looks like another busy year ahead for BIG DOG RECORDERS and the Perth music scene in general...
Bands/artists we have recorded include:
The Stems, Blackmilk, The City Watch, Blood Groop, Mick Blood (Lime Spiders), Richard Lane (The Stems), MF and His Truckload of Hope, The Bloods (Now the Moltens), Black Mavrick and The New World Record, Stu Orchard, Quixotics, The Long Strides, Columbia, The Automasters, Joe Bludge (The Painkillers), Headfull of Steam, The Dead Kellys, Lady Saw (Jamaica) and Bushman (Jamaica). Plus numerous more.
Peace to Perth
