Ben Williams (aka 'Subvert' or 'Subsy') has been involved with independent music for many years. He began producing and mixing in 1992, and after co-running the pioneering drum and bass labels Streetbeats, NOIR and Pi, he then went on to run the UK Hip Hop label, Pepa Records, along with founder DJ Juice. Over the years he has played guitar in several bands, as well as keyboards in the drum and bass band, Ultra-Violet.
In 2001, Ben set up Subversion Studios near Reading UK, available for vocal recording, mixing and mastering.
In 2006 the studio evolved to focus exclusively on mastering projects, and since then Ben has worked on countless projects across all genres.
2009 saw the move to an all new acoustically optimized studio facility, in a specially converted barn.
Ben also runs the underground music forum Subvert Central, from which Subvert Central Mastering was spawned.
Bob Macciochi (aka 'Macc') has been recording and mixing for over 15 years. For several years Bob was engineer for Lost Witness, a commercial dance act releasing on the Ministry Of Sound label selling tens of thousands of records. Since then, Bob has seen his own music released regularly on vinyl, as well as him taking his live drum show all over Europe.
Since starting SC Mastering with Ben, Bob has mastered thousands of tracks, for anyone from large hip hop labels to independent ambient artists, and dubstep and drum n bass by the ton. He's also mixed and mastered electrosynthpoppunk(!) bands, Japanese pop songs, commercial and local bands, the odd jazz band and all manner of other things.
A keen engineering geek with a passion for good sound and degree-level physics knowledge, Bob regularly helps out engineers and producers of all levels, to help them improve their own production.
