WELCOME
Hi, my name is Niko “HK”. I’m a producer, mixing and mastering engineer at the VAMACARA STUDIO (France).
I started my audio career 15 years ago and I had the pleasure to work with many artists as talented as SINSAENUM, LOUDBLAST, DAGOBA, BETRAYING THE MARTYRS, SIRENIA, VENTED (with members of DAATH and DEVILDRIVER).
I’m also the last producer who worked with the mighty Joey Jordison.
I love to work with bands who want to push the boundaries of creativity, and design a unique sonic signature together.
From the arrangements of your songs, to the final mastering I produce music with perfection in mind.
The studio consists in 1 control room, 1 live room, private flat and house, equipped kitchen and all accommodations you need.
Most of mix sessions are done remotely nowadays. I use tools to mix with you even if you’re in a different place. I also do the final mastering of my mixes : in that way you’ll have a complete control on each step of your production.
If you’re on a budget, I’ll help you to find the perfect solution to record by yourselves and guarantee the quality of the final result.
To work with HK was so easy and fast. His mix showcases the rawness and sonic brutality of the metal genre. He delivers de perfect combination of analogue & digital mixing method with passion.
I've been working with HK and the Vamacara Studio since 2019.
I never had such a good experience with a studio!
He's working fast and he's working hard until getting the perfect result. Massive production guaranteed!
If you need a professional studio in a nice and quiet area look no further!
HK and the Vamacara studio will take care of recording and producing your tracks to bring them to another level.
Working with HK was an incredible time. He really understood what we were looking for in our mix and really made it stand out from everyone else we went to. He went above and beyond to make the record the best it could be, and we look forward to bringing our next mix to him.
