Megahit!!

3FM just annouced that Bertolf's new single "Cut me Loose" is the new MEGAHIT!!

Great Polarskin review!!

Without the album being released (not yet that is), we received a very good review on the Polarskin album.
Here's a copy of the review that is in the August issue of Maverick:


Polarskin BLACK SWAN THEORY Self-released 
****1/2

With no information on their myspace, or a handy booklet providing band member names, Polarskin remain an exciting mystery from the Netherlands. What If I is the opening track, full of an energetic performance, with the band playing tightly together. The lead singer holds a well controlled voice, without overpowering the music, or letting the music shadow his vocal. Hope is reminiscent of the band Keane, with the guitars strumming out mellow melodies, with the drums providing a steady beat. With all fifteen songs written by Polarskin, each one demonstrates how this group have found the right balance in making a great record. Stranger is not too far from the likes of Muse, sounding similar to the rock trio’s songs heard on mainstream radio. With the right promotion, there is no excuse as to why BLACK SWAN THEORY should not be on the shelves in music stores across Europe. Fear is a guitar anthem, sounding spotless. Stumble is a must hear with strong flavours from Muse really coming through. Even vocally, the lead vocalist shares similar attributes to Matt Bellamy. From track one through to track fifteen, the sound produced by this group is flawless, never straying from the mighty rock sound that they bring to the record. Well worth seeking out. CB

a$$ kickin' live performance

This morning I had to get up very early (4:20) because Bertolf had to perform at Giel Beelen's very populair morning show @3FM. I joined Bertolf & band to do the radiomix.
And the guys pulled out an electrifying performance of their latest single "Cut me Loose".
This is how it went down;

"Open Day"

Last friday we had an "open day" at Studio 41. Studio 41?? Yes; that's the name on the building ;-)
Inside you can find 2 mastering rooms from Saind of Sound, a postproduction studio (SoundFocus), and of course my own mix-&overdubstudio (aka GieSound).
I want to thank all the people who came by; it was a busy day that I really enjoyed!
Today I will be taking some nice pictures of my studio so all of you can see what it looks like.

Fijne Bertolf recensie in OOR!
