Two major sessions were with Rappin Hood and the Brazilian mainstay Fabio Jr., who is returning to the studio after a 10 year hiatus. Rappin Hood, as many in Brazil know, is a rapper, songwriter, producer, presenter and activist in his home country.
On API: "My projects are always based around the 1608. I have always liked how API preamps deal with fast transients and knew that API sound would be a key factor to delivering the quality that I expect in all my work."
