Mixing & mastering by LESKY
I’m Phil, usually credited as LESKY. I mix and master records from Cologne, with a particular fondness for soul, indie pop, rap and funk.

A rough mix is a good place to start. Tell me what’s working, what isn’t, and when you need it.
Some songs need a mix. Others need the right snare first. I work from your prepared tracks through to the final master, with any drum work, FX or arrangement changes agreed before we begin.
For a mix you’re happy with and have probably heard quite a few times by now. I take a fresh listen and work on its tone, dynamics and level, then prepare the stereo master for release.
Guide fees include 19% German VAT. The quote confirms scope, delivery date, total price and any different VAT treatment for your location or project.
Vocals should arrive comped, tuned and timed. Additional recording, substantial new production or changes to supplied files are quoted separately.
03 / About
I often arrive with a groove and stay until the record is finished.
Born in Leipzig, I’m now based in Cologne after several years in Tbilisi. My own records range from lo-fi and jazztronica to songs built around a voice. I bring a beatmaker’s ear to mixing, too.
Meraki came out on vinyl through Melting Pot Music, as did Mesame, my collaboration with Waywell. “Aloe” appeared on Blue Note and Astralwerks’ Bluewerks series.
Away from the studio, I have a serious interest in clothes and an equally serious gym habit. The two occasionally disagree about sleeve width.
