Following Francesco Pico’s the highly successful 3rd artist album ‘Absolutely Flabbergasted’, we’re proud to present the first remix single to you, including remixes by Manual Music head honcho Paul Hazendonk and Klopfgeist artist Andreas Bergmann!

Being around for nearly two decades, Francesco Pico has left a clear mark on the Dutch electronic music scene with dozens of tracks and remixes througout the years. His trademark crossover techy funky progressive sound has gained him a solid fanbase and it was no suprise that his latest album ‘Absolutely Flabbergasted’ was well received and was a commercial success for both Francesco as well as for Manual Music.

This is the first of three remix singles, kicking off with two hard working Dutchmen: Paul Hazendonk and Adreas Bergmann.

Smallsound studio’s updated and ready for new bits and waves

During my time off after releasing Absolutely Flabbergasted, I’ve invested in new equipment to get new inspiration.
Mastering and sound engineering is getting more important to me and my dream of doing this high-end and analogue came true.
Recently I finished updating my studio with new equipment of brands like API, Elysia, Apogee and a pair of Meridian D600 speakers.
I also reconnected all wires professional & fully balanced and re-positioned my speakers and I can say it makes a huge difference.
Now I’m ready to make some new bits and waves to rock and rumble

Francesco’s new Online Mastering Service

One of the projects I’ve started is an online mastering service.
After many years of mixing and mastering tracks of my own, of Magnitude Recordings and of some friends, I’ve decided to make it available for everybody and for a great price.
My goal is to make it possible for every artist and label to make their tracks sound great and stand out for a budget that is payable in these tough days of the music industry.
I have a no cure no pay policy so you can first check the result of the master in 256kbps before payment.
Please check the pre-page on my website, the upcoming complete website for Smallsound Productions is under construction at the moment:
