Testimonials

'An absolute delight to work with, Dave really takes the time to understand the musicians individually, and the band collectively. He works closely with us to achieve our vision and take it to the next level. Nothing escapes his ear! Dave's ability to work with us to turn our ideas, dreams and schemes into vibrant reality is incredible. Devilskin is more than happy to have Dave capture our songs and excitement any time, we absolutely enjoyed our time in his studio and we are extremely proud of the music we have recorded there.'

Not only does Dave do an excellent job of making our stuff sound great, he listens to how we want it to sound. He is super chill and fun to work with and VERY patient too. Despite my occasional file handover blunder, Dave was still totally relaxed and helped us to make an Outside In album we are really proud of. 🤘🏼🥴🤘🏼

We worked with Dave on the recording and production of our first single. He was absolutely amazing to work with, and pushed us as musicians to create something far beyond our expectations. His communication as to what we needed to do to get the best recording was top notch, and just all round was an awesome experience. Would 100% recommend working with him again in the future, and we are going back soon to record our second single.

Dave Rhodes has the justified reputation of being one of NZ's top music producers. He's in demand nationally and internationally. I've been lucky enough to have Dave record and produce several projects I've worked on - all live instruments - and have another one booked in. Dave knows how to get the right sound, the right detail, the right feel, to serve the artist and song. He's a chilled guy, who creates a comfortable, relaxed environment, and draws from experience and expertise to bring out the best performances and shape strong, vibrant, professional mixes. I can't recommend Dave enough.

From the moment the first note hits your eardrums, it becomes abundantly clear that Dave possesses unrivalled talent. Dave is a master at his craft, a genius, consistently delivering music that captivates and mesmerises. Dave continues to demonstrate why he is at the forefront of music production. I could never trust any other with my mixes.
