AudibleOddities is a mastering studio located in the heart of Oakland, California. It is owned and operated by Shawn “Twerk” Hatfield, recording and live performance artist for many labels including Force-Inc, Mille Plateaux, Merck Records, and Tigerbeat6. We specialize in mastering for CD, Vinyl, Digital Distribution, and Netlabels.

With over 15 years of professional experience mastering everything from dance music, pop, hip hop, drum and bass, dubstep, DJ mixes, ambient, idm, jazz, indie rock, electro-acoustic, classical, spoken word, and folk, AudibleOddities has the ear for today’s current trends in mastering, balanced with an understanding of both modern and past technique. Shawn brings with this, an illustrious recording career with a formidable discography of his own. Having toured the world performing with his custom designed software for live improv music at premiere events such as the Sonar Festival (Spain), PS1 (NYC), SFMOMA (SF), Transmediale Festival (Berlin), and the Liquid Room (Tokyo), Shawn has deep knowledge in translating music from the studio to the real world.

High quality analog and digital mastering services are provided at low costs bringing affordable mastering to the underground and independent music community. We offer special rates custom tailored for the digital distribution market (Netlabels and Internet-only releases). To save you even further money, AudibleOddities does not charge for additional modifications to a project after the initial core mastering session. This allows even the pickiest of artists to get what they want without the fears that they’ll be exploding the labels mastering budget.

Internetcentric services aimed at simplifying and expediting the mastering process. We use cloud-based storage for fast downloads of test files and final masters and our web page uploader allows for easy delivery of your project. Convenient web forms are available to include all the pertinent information regarding your project.
