Roughly 30 years inside independent music.

Kevin Flick is a mix engineer, producer, and music technologist based in Bloomington, Indiana, with nearly three decades in independent music. He's worked as a freelance recording engineer since 2007, with credits across releases that have reached 7M+ combined streams — including Cathedral Bells, Saeyers, Midi Memory, and others.

In 1997, Kevin started Puddlegum, one of the earliest independent music blogs on the web. What began as a place to write about music he cared about grew into a long-running platform for artist discovery, editorial writing, and playlist curation — including the Radiohead Binary Theory, a deep-dive that drew millions of listeners.

Working hands-on with artists gave him a close look at where modern music production actually breaks down. The friction is rarely technical. How do you tell an engineer what you're hearing? How do you keep track of thirty mix revisions? How do you collaborate with someone you've never been in a room with?

That question led to MidSide.co, the music technology company Kevin founded — home to SongMix, MixRef, SyncedUP, and StereoView. Tools built for the way musicians and engineers actually communicate.
