About Me

If you want to book time (both regulars and new clients) This myspace page is probably the best way to get a hold of me these days! Or send us an e-mail at [email protected]
Planetgrey Studios is conveniently located in the East Village of Manhattan.
We're a full service Recording Studio. We've recorded demos and full CDs. We have also done projects in which we recorded the audio and the client mixed at home or elsewhere. We've also mixed clients pre-recorded work. We have also helped songwriters produce their work. Need some ideas to spice up that song or need help finishing it? We can help… We have worked with artists from Relativity Records, Digital Hardcore Recordings, Warner Chappell Publishing, Geist Records, Dancing Ferret, Blood And Guts Records, Fiendforce Records (Germany), Pendulum Records, Projekt Records and Middle Pillar (just to name a few)!
