Get a QuoteAmapiano mastering preserves the unique interplay between the log drum and bass — the defining relationship in the genre. The log drum sits in a very specific frequency range, and the bass needs to work around it rather than compete with it. Getting this balance right, while keeping the jazzy piano elements warm and present, requires mastering that understands the genre from the inside.
Sam has mastered Amapiano and Afrobeats-influenced material for labels across South Africa, the UK and global markets. The genre is growing rapidly on streaming platforms and is demanding an international standard of mastering quality. Every session starts with the log drum and bass relationship — everything else is built around that.
