Making Waves in Electronic Music: Dan Berg Speaks On His Upcoming Compilation Album and More

Daniel Berg stopped by the studio to work on some new material this week!  I sat down with the “Fireberg” producer who, originally from Philadelphia, moved to Brooklyn in 2009. About a year later he started working under the pseudonym “Fireberg” in which he produces electronic music and loops for live performances.
Dan is putting the finishing touches on a compilation EP made up of plethora of songs recorded over the past three years. If you had to give the album a concept, Dan says,” The concept would be without a voice”, and for the simple fact that the album has no recorded vocals.  Where Dan lacks in vocals, he makes up for in varying samples of old school informational videos telling you things you should already know like not to do drugs or stay in school. Throw a couple vinyl samples, hip-hop influences, and an understanding of the different components of jazz into the mix and you have the self-proclaimed “Eclectronic” style of music Dan loves to make.

Ferran Esquerdo

Ferran Esquerdo stepped into the big live room to record some amazing drum beats for his demo reel. We found the sweet spot in the room for his drum tones and got to work laying down some great tracks. This is a good chance to hear how awesome drums on their own sound in the large room, using every bit of the room’s natural effects to advantage.

All Analog Metrosonic Recording Package


Analog recording and mixing to tape and pressing vinyl can be intimidating.  Analog is not easy like an MP3 or a CD.  For some, the whole process seems complex, confusing, fraught with decisions about how to get this done right, not to mention expensive.

But you want it.
Our Ampex ATR 102
You want analog because it's real. Because your music DOES sound better recorded on tape and played back on vinyl. Because every great record you have was produced this way.  You're an analog snob.  No worries, so are WE.  All music sounds great produced in the analog domain, and some really benefit from this method of production. That's why we're taking the hassle, confusion and expense out of this process and helping you get your All Analog project done right.

Metrosonic is proud to bring you an all analog EP recording/vinyl pressing package unlike anything else in New York City. You'll receive 5 days (40 hours) in the studio for 15% off our regular rates! Included in the price are 2 days access to our huge live recording room (a $300 value). No digital in any part of the process here; you're receiving an all tape recording session. Vintage mics, Neve board...it doesn't get any better. Once recording is done, your EP will be mixed to 1/2" tape. We will take care of the pre-mastering including editing and sequencing the songs.  Next we'll set you up with the lacquer master and reference acetates. Finally, your record will be sent out to the plant for pressing.  We will help guide you through the process every step of the way.  All we need from you is your music and a deposit.  So let's get started!

Of course, every project has different requirements.  How much tape you will need, how many records you want pressed, EP or LP, all will affect the final price.  Let us know your budget and we'll help you work out the rest.  Packages start at $3500. Call 718-782-1872 or email info@metrosonic.net to book your session!
