Find out what mastering engineer Sean Magee, assistant engineer Marta Di Nozzi and mix technician Hannes Wannerberger shared from their year at Abbey Road.

Sean

"Skindred – Smile, album mastering CD/vinyl… Great band, truly unique take on rock music, great blend of Ragga, Reggae and Metal."

Marta

"The project I loved working on the most this year was Elisa's new album, she is an Italian artist and I have been following her music since I was younger. She decided to make Abbey Road Studios her home for the recording of her new album called Intimate which has just come out. Witnessing her talent in the studio was incredible."

Hannes

"The film Lee starring Kate Winslet. It is the story of Lee Miller, model turned photographer and war correspondent for Vogue Magazine during World War II. The shift from a carefree life to the discovery of the horrors of the war is underlined by a chilling score. Definitely go check it out next year."

Sean

"Can I say Skindred – Smile again? It’s a great album."

Marta

"Soft Landing by Art School Girlfriend, perfect soundtrack for travelling."

Hannes

"I am an old soul, no point denying it! I did rediscover lots of Italian house and Danish trance end of this year which has kept me going through my commutes, while Swiss monastery chants from the 14th century relaxes my soul post-bike ride. I did really enjoy the Now and Then release which showcases the amazing technical developments and the opportunities it can bring."

Sean

"The band I’ve listened to the most in 2023, Gong, I’ve been an addict of their music since the age of 15. I never tire of it and Gong will be my “go to” for my listening sessions."

Marta

"Not properly a band or and artist specifically but I am really looking forward to the release of the soundtrack for Wicked (the movie) next year. It's my favourite musical so I'm really looking forward to it!"

Hannes

"Rumour has it that I will be finishing some tunes! Stay tuned."
