tim xavier: play on words

Tim Xavier is the owner of the Manmade Mastering Studios -- usually the last link in the chain before the final pressing on vinyl. With his Play On Words EP, Xavier proves that he can realize the earlier production steps as well. The very sophisticated dry to dubby tracks happen somewhere between weird coldness and warm brutality. Xavier plays a lot with room and reverberation and lets the listener sink into the depths of his soundscapes.
