Daniel Schiwek ( born 1977 ) started his musical career in 1993 as a guitarist and later also as a bassist in various rock and metal bands. From 2003 to 2009, he played over 250 concerts as bassist in the band “Fidget”. After the first self-produced demo recordings and releases in the mid-90s, he got his first job in 1999 at the Skyline Studio in Düsseldorf, which was booked by well-known producers such as Moses Schneider, Olaf Opal and Claus Grabke.
Shaped by various influences and the urge to produce “the big sound” on his own, he decided to set up his own studio in 2008:
Stereo-Labs
Since then, he has produced numerous albums by national and international artists with chart placements.
At the same time, he studied media technology (specializing in sound engineering) and graduated with a degree in engineering from the University of Applied Sciences in Düsseldorf to expand his knowledge of sound engineering.
Jonathan Dangelmeyer (born in 1997) came into contact with a wide variety of music at an early age. After learning the violin as a child, the guitar followed and over the years became his main instrument, which he began to learn and understand like his great idols such as Jimmy Page or Stevie Ray Vaughan. Sound engineering and recording music also aroused his interest and desire to pursue a career in this direction at an early age. Since 2017, Jonathan Dangelmeyer has therefore been studying “Music and Media” (B. Mus.) at the Institute for Music and Media at the Robert Schumann University of Music in Düsseldorf, majoring in jazz/pop guitar and specializing in music production and media composition.
He is active as a guitarist in several formations, including the Ratingen indie pop band “Friday And The Fool” and has worked on numerous productions for local artists and bands both as a studio musician and as a producer/sound engineer. His focus is on recording, editing and mixing the songs and he has a wide range of equipment and plugins at his disposal, both at home in his home studio and in the “Stereo-Labs” recording studio in Düsseldorf.
