Next-level professional analogue and hybrid mixing and mastering service.
About FluffyPuppyMusic
When you are looking for premium mixing and mastering engineers to give your music project the best possible sonic outcome, do you hire a commercial studio with random engineers and hope for the best, or do you seek the right people who will truly understand your vision and elevate your outcome?
Are you tired of mixes that lack depth, warmth and energy, but find it difficult to justify the cost of a large format studio with all the additional costs involved, especially in the current climate of a largely self funding music industry?
FluffyPuppyMusic solves both of these issues by being home to the safe hands of seasoned audio professionals
Trevor Lancaster-Smith
and Paul Chivers
(aka Ramjac Corporation)
with our rather excellent FluffyPuppyStudio included with no additional costs.
We specialise in mixing, remixing and mastering commercial releases for record labels, producers, and independent artists.
With over 30 years of experience individually working with major and independent labels, our team brings reassuring expertise to every project.
Our services cover all genres and are backed by a comprehensively acoustically treated room, an Audient 56-input 8024HE analogue mixing console, high-quality monitoring and extensive outboard processing. This combination consistently delivers exceptional results.
We offer bespoke remote high-level analogue mixing tailored to suit modern budgets and working practices. Our competitive pricing policy includes a set rate per completed mix, remix, or master, with all studio and staff costs covered.
Additionally, we provide hybrid or in-the-box mixing and mastering, conducted in our sonically accurate and superb-sounding studio.
Send us your tracks or stems and experience a new level of excellence in your mixed and mastered music.

Starting his professional music career in 1992, Trevor quickly established himself in the London studio scene working as a recording and mixing engineer and over the next 20 years worked at the highest level of the music industry with artists such as Tom Jones, Beth Orton, Duran Duran, Culture Club, Moloko, Leftfield and Kim Wilde, at studios including Master Rock, Battery, Maison Rouge, Matrix, The Church, Swanyard, Falconer, Wessex, Abbey Road and Bunk Junk and Genius.
Under Matrix Management, Trevor was employed both in-house (within the Matrix group) and also freelance within many of Londons top commercial studios, which totalled simultaneously twenty one SSL rooms, one Focusrite Forte room and two Neve rooms and engineered on high end recording and mixing sessions on a daily basis for many years.
During this time he was involved with many hit records and commercially successful projects. Unsurprisingly, he is very knowledgeable and proficient in many styles of music and has more hardware experience than nearly anyone out there these days.

With over 35 years experience programming, producing, engineering and mixing, Paul has great knowledge of both modern and traditional studio practices and is one of the nicest engineers you are ever going to meet! His rhythm and editing skills have led him to program drums for Herbie Hancock & Coldcut, Juno Reactor, Ojos De Brujo and Asian Dub Foundation, to studio work with Transglobal Underground, Jeff Wayne, Faith I Branko, Irresistible Force, Freq Nasty, Holger Hiller, and Laurel Aitken and to collaborations with Chip E, one of the godfathers of House music and also with Jonah Sharp of Spacetime Continuum and Reflective Records.
Paul is a Professor of Electronic and Produced Music at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and teaches Sound Art and Afrocentric Drumming at the City Literary Institute. He was the proprietor and head engineer at Hampstead Music and Voice Studio (HMVS) for a period of 20 years and was a partner in Mango Multimedia Studio at Spitafields Market, having built his first commercial studio at Community Music in Farringdon in 1994.
Between 1988-92, under his artist's name Ramjac Corporation, Paul performed at the legendary Sunrise and Back to the Future raves, at clubs such as Synergy and The Brain and with Underground crews Fun-de-Mental and collaborators Spiral Tribe. Ramjac toured with Orbital, The Shaman and Mixmaster Morris. The number one hit
"The Bouncer" by Kicks Like a Mule originated in Paul's studio while simultaneously working with British techno legend Lee Purkis (aka In Sync). Mixmag rightly dubbed Ramjac as one of the Keyboard Wizards of Acid House.
Paul studied with British Jazz drummer John Stevens and Ghanaian master drummer Isaac Tagoe, he has been a touring percussionist with Dub Colossus, State of Bengal, VU and the Night Trains.
