Now in the studio with..... 'i Explode'!

About Me

Nik Tyler and Matt Robnett formed PlayWork Productions in 2006, after co-producing demos for Jive Records. They have been riding a wave of success ever since.
The two producer/engineer/writers garnered recording experience in large-format studios coast-to-coast. As former band members, the duo has an innate ability to inspire and push bands toward creating a next-level version of themselves.
It’s not just about producing and engineering though. PlayWork offers complete band development and access to a growing network of industry contacts. More than 85% of PlayWork’s clients have received consideration from numerous labels.
We have some of the best in the biz working with us:
Demon Drums: The drum collection of Jay and Walter is one of the best on the planet. Their clients include Hawthorne Heights, Bon Jovi, Murphys Law, Thursday, and many more!
Greg Altman: Greg is the newest full time addition to the PlayWork production staff. A guitar player and song writer with Grand Electric, Greg is a purveyor of the finest guitar tones in the land. His gear and ability to fine tune an amplifier is unparalleled.
Durijah Lang: Durijah, of Glassjaw and Saves The Day fame, offers only the most musical and cohesive drum production. As any drummer knows, this guy really knows how to play in a song's best interest.
We at PlayWork want to help you achieve your artistic goals. After working with us, 5 of our bands have been played on mainstream radio, and 5 have acquired licensing agreements for TV airtime(MTV,ESPN,etc). We have also helped bands sign to both Virgin and Jive Records.
Tell us what your goals are. We'd love to help you along the way!
Word em' up!
