...the best mixing engineer I have ever worked with. His incredible skill enables him to create massive sounding mixes, equaling that or even surpassing many famous productions from larger, much more expensive studios. To me, Alexey is like the fifth member of the band. I cannot recommend him enough!

...take up all the space around!

It turns out that for the first time we mixed a single for "SLOT" almost 10 years ago, since then Alexei has grown into a great master and has not lost his love for the profession. Together we released 3 albums "Slot" and one "Nuki". Each new experience is a new level. I really like that along with understanding how heavy music should sound, there is musicality. Alexey is able to relate with surprising patience to the details of the arrangement that are barely noticeable to the ear and does not refuse to try non-obvious moves. And yes, the process usually happens quickly, in one breath, so you don't have time to lose the initial feeling from the song, since the hit occurs from the first, maximum from the second take!

...our mixes right, we were recommended to try our luck with Alexey and he didn't disappoint! He's excellent in what he does, his mixes sound massive and extremely detailed, so much so that a lot of our musician friends asked us who mixed and mastered our album because they were so impressed with the sound. I'd even say that the quality of his work rivals that of famous sound engineers working in big fancy studios!

We have only good things to say about our interaction with Alexey, he's a real pro and an overall great guy! He worked on our second album as well and we will definitely go to him for any future releases.

...Alexey is certainly one of them. He is distinguished among many by his perfect ear, phenomenal musical flair and a bold artistic approach to work. And all these qualities are united by exceptional performance and constant craving for new knowledge. Among other things, he is just a pleasant person to communicate with, who is always ready to help with advice and share his invaluable experience.

...with the very first collaboration, I realized that this is exactly the Sound Engineer I was looking for 💥💣! Since that time, Alexey and I have made a huge number of mixes for my groups NAIV, The MATRIXX and MED DOG. Not only studio but live for TV. And new masterpieces are on the way 👌! Alexey and I have already come to that model of interaction that we don’t even explain what kind of mix we need - he is already like a member of the group and a musician who passes the song through himself 👌! Definitely Lyosha is the best in the CIS 👍🔥

...I have had the pleasure of working with. He truly understands the “spirit” of rock and metal, and knows how to make tracks sound huge. He also possesses a talent with adding creative effects that you didn’t even consider adding, which somehow end up being exactly what you heard in your head. His love for music also transcends its heavier dimensions, and he knows how to make “ethereal,” and “heartfelt” elements truly shine, be they ballads or the calm before the storm. Alexey is also very communicable, friendly, honest, likes to engage with the artist on a human level, and is happy to work together with the artist to make the tracks and the overall experience the best that they can be. I warmly recommend him to budding and seasoned musicians alike.

...singles and one album. When we first received the mix from Alexey, we realized that we had never sounded so powerful on record! In addition to the fact that Alex makes a cool sound, he also makes it fast enough, which is important when deadlines are burning. Plus, it is comfortable to communicate with him and it is easy to find a common language. In short, I recommend!

...quite by accident.

The Swedish group Hladomrak (black metal) and the Estonian Ognemöt (crust metal) had a common member Dipa, who showed us the finished recording of Ognemöt, on which they worked with Alexey, and pretty soon we decided to collaborate too.

First they mixed and mastered the EP "Inner Death" (2018). We really liked the result, the sound turned out to be cold, angry, in general, truly Cold and Dark. Just as we expected! It was obvious that Alexey would mix Hladomrak in the future.

Then the old single Spirit of the forest (2019) was remixed.

The most recent work (2021) is our third full-length Archaic Sacrifice, in which Nils "Dominator" Fjellström - ex-Dark Funeral, now Nordjevel recorded drums.

The sound of Hladomrak is a symbiosis of Evgenerator's compositions and part of the soul of the performers with a professional approach, mix and mastering by Alexey Stetsyuk!

...work in heavy genres. If you are meticulous and pretentious about your sound - he is the one you need. Bjarla definitely recommends Alexey for mixing and mastering of musical compositions!

...new experience was better than the previous one. Alexey approaches the matter professionally, patiently, gives recommendations on various issues and adds interesting ideas and effects that bring the overall sound to a new level. He knows how to find an individual approach to the sound of a particular release, instead of just focusing on references or using templates.

I recommend contacting Alexey - this will help save your nerves and time, and the result may be higher than your expectations.

...looking at the list of serious artists with whom he has worked. For my part, I want to note that Alexei knows his business from the point of view of a real underground. I worked with him more than once and each time I was very pleased with both the sound and the approach to business. It rarely happens when such mutual understanding is established between little-known people.

...the best in music production that i had an honour to work with, his amazing skills of production allow the artist to truly shine through quality sound, mix and master that can easily compete on the highest international level. He is an absolute beast of modern sound, fast delivery and true knowledge of the craft. Best choice ever for any artist.
