‘Hector Castillo’ News

Excited to finally post about this one!  Hector Castillo has been working on producing a Phillip Glass remix album with Beck.  Other collaborators include Amon Tobin, Cornelius and Ty Braxton, among others.  I’ll post more details as we get them, but until then, check out Hector, Beck and Phillip having a coffee at Phillip’s place:

I’m happy to announce that Hector Castillo has joined our Matt Shane in regular rotation at the Converse Rubber Tracks studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn!  It’s a great studio that gives new bands the opportunity to record for free and we are happy to now have two of our producers involved.  Here is a photo of Hector I stole from the Rubber Tracks Instagram account:

In case you missed the ad in the current issue of Tape Op, here is a fun video of our own Hector Castillo endorsing one of his favorite gadgets – the Keymaster by Pigtronix.  Click on the photo below to watch.

Congratulations to Hector and Gustavo!  From Billboard: “The other multiple winner of the evening was Gustavo Cerati, whose “Fuerza Natural” won best rock album, while his song “Déjà vu” won best rock song. In turn, art director Roy García won best recording package for Cerati’s album”

Gustavo has been in a coma since May – here’s to hoping for a full recovery.

Our Hector Castillo co-produced and mixed the Gustavo Cerati album “Feurza Natural”.  It is up for 2 Latin Grammy awards:  Best Rock Album and Best Rock Song for “Deja Vu”.  Good luck Hector!  See the full list of nominees here.

Aterciopelados are up for the Best Latin Rock, Alternative or Urban Grammy for their album “Rio”.  Hector mixed this last year in New York City.  Fingers crossed!
