Home of a heavenly host of gear and instruments any musician / musical bod who loves records, and the golden era of recording would be happy to share a room with. Based around the first SSL 4000 recording console to find its way to Australia. Usually the first thing to see a track is the Studer 827, via a bank of ancient Neve console channels, and one of the most loveable mic collections in the la
nd, from a host of vintage 47's and 48's to the whole range of Josephson's, and almost everything in between, with more ribbons than a 5 year old girls birthday. Its a musician / bands Xanadu, you can stay in the apartment, and forget the world is out there, and isn't that what we are trying to do ?(within reason)
Mixmasters has been the home to so many albums, it would be just silly to list them. From Original Adelaide icons (Daisy Heads, Lizard train, Krytapinzch etc etc, to national heroes (Jeff Lang, Pigram Brothers, Angels, Shane Howard, Dingoes, Large Number Twelves, Amanda Palmer, Yearlings, Audreys, Jackson Firebird, Laura Hill, Borderers, Huckleberry Swedes, Cindi Boste, Nigel Werne, the list goes on)
