I was happy to hear that my boys in 2 Cents, who's album I produced last summer, has cracked the active rock chart's with their song "Get What ". The album will be released this spring...not sure what the date is yet, check back.

I've confirmed that I'll be working with Children of Bodom on their next album. We are tentatively planning to record this summer in Finland. I'm super stoked to have the opportunity to work with one of the best metal guitar players on the planet.

I'm back from a month of pre pro and tracking of the new Monster Magnet record . I'll be uploading video of the sessions over the next few weeks. It was truly one of the best times I've had making a record. A lot of laughs and great sounds were had at Shorefire Studios in Long Branch, NJ..

I start this new decade recording the new Monster Magnet record, beginning January 4th through March. This is our 4th outing together and I expect it to be just as hard-hitting as the rest have been. I'm looking forward to it.

Here's how 2010 is looking:
Over the holidays, I mixed Silent Civilain's new album for Mediaskare... Some great songs on that record and I think it will do well for them. I will be in New Jersey for all of January tracking Monster Magnet and then we'll finish it up back here in L.A.. After that I have mix scheduled for March and some possible pre pro back in Finland with an exciting project that I'll announce as soon as I have confirmation.

Seeing double (triple) - There is apparently yet another Matt Hyde rock producer out there - this will make him the 3rd Matt Hyde . I haven't had the pleasure to meet him yet as I believe he works out of the UK. The 1st Matt Hyde, who preceded me, worked in L.A. in the 70's and 80's and oddly enough, we actually both worked on the band WAR at different times. We once were both working in different rooms of the same studio on the same day in the early 90's...that must have drove the receptionist insane!! Anyway..I hope Matt Hyde III will carry on the tradition .
