“Ain’t Ur Enn” (Luzern)
"It’s always a big pleasure to work with Rob. Over the years, I’ve learnt a ton through our collaborative efforts. He dives deep into ongoing projects and elevates those with his great knowledge about music and production. His way of communication makes me feel he’s one of the few to grasp the full intent of my music. I particularly recommend him to all who are looking for a producer specialised in heavier music."
Andy v. King Sable
"Wir haben unser Album "Nothing but th Truth" bei City Night Studios in Luzern aufgenommen und sind hammermässig zufrieden mit dem Produkt. Mit Rob zu arbeiten war super angenehm. Die Zusammenarbeit war konstruktiv, hat unsere Kreativität auch im Studio gefördert, und vor allem hat die Zeit im Studio Mega Spass gemacht. Jederzeit wieder."
