Hailing from the vibrant city of Chicago, Logan Koerner aka Joey Bandino’s journey into the world of music production commenced amidst the bustling streets of Illinois’ largest urban environment. It was within the hallowed halls of Columbia College that he refined his skills in audio engineering, nurturing a passion that would shape the course of his life as a music producer.
Sixteen years ago, the seeds of love for music production were sown as he delved into the art of beat-making. What began as a personal pursuit soon blossomed into a communal experience, with friends gathering to freestyle over his creations. This newfound camaraderie propelled him into the realm of recording, mixing, and mastering, igniting a fervent dedication to every facet of the craft.
Leaving behind the familiar rhythms of Chicago, Bandino embarked on a journey to the sun-drenched landscapes of Tempe, Arizona. It was here, in the heart of the desert, that Denial Records Recording Studio was born in 2022—a sanctuary where creativity flourishes and artists discover their true sonic identities.
What sets Denial Records apart is not merely the state-of-the-art equipment or the meticulously crafted soundscapes, but the unwavering passion and commitment that permeate every aspect of our operation. As an owner-operated studio, they take pride in providing a personalized touch, ensuring that each artist receives the attention and care they deserve.
At Denial Records, they specialize in vocal work, offering a comprehensive suite of services including editing, processing, and bespoke production. But their commitment to the art extends beyond the confines of the recording booth. Denial Records curate events, manage artists, and create captivating content, immersing our audience in the rich tapestry of musical expression.
From intimate showcases to electrifying performances, Denial Records has rocked nine shows in the past year alone, with plans for an even grander spectacle on the horizon. And for those unable to experience the magic of our studio in person, they offer remote mix and mastering services at affordable rates, ensuring that their sonic alchemy reaches audiences far and wide.
But Denial Records is more than just a studio—it's a lifestyle. The vintage store, nestled within the studio's embrace, offers a curated selection of apparel and accessories, providing the perfect backdrop for moments of sartorial inspiration.
The studio setup is designed to foster creativity and collaboration, with dedicated recording booths, a separate control room, and a welcoming lobby that invites artists to explore and experiment. They believe in fostering an environment of ease and adaptability, where artists feel empowered to push the boundaries of their creativity.
Over the years, Bandino has had the privilege of collaborating with some of the industry's most iconic names, from Rick Ross to Future, infusing each project with a sense of passion and purpose that transcends the confines of the studio.
For aspiring engineers and producers, his advice is simple: eschew traditional schooling in favor of practical learning opportunities. Whether through YouTube tutorials or hands-on internships, the key is to soak up knowledge, stay humble, and invest wisely in your craft.
So whether you're in need of beats, studio time, or show placements, Denial Records is here to bring your musical vision to life.
