Mixing for new Joss Stone record

When Lindsay arrived around 7:30 AM the other day, she was surprised to find our own Bobby Gibson and Illfonic Mixer Chuck Brungardt just wrapping up a very late night of work. They'd been having one hell of a good time playing with all kinds of vintage analogue gear - plates and springs and tapes - oh my - while mixing a new song for Joss Stone. They'd gone all night long, but word is the song turned out great! Stay tuned for a release date.
