Nest Of It

This song came from a session I did with Ashton in my studio.  The original session was a riff involving me on a Moog Voyager and him on guitar.  It didn't really go anywhere, just on and on.  It sat there, and after a while I began to come up with an arrangement for the song.  The trick was we used an analog delay on the original recording, so syncing that up to a BPM was hard.  Getting it locked into a grid took time, but eventually the task was accomplished and I was able to build more on top of that.  When I presented it to Ashton, I told him I had an idea for him to riff like Eddie Van Halen all over the "rise" of the song.  He nailed it perfectly!  Nick's drums couldn't have come out more perfect, he had the feel for this right from the get go.

Supernova!

I wrote this song in the shower one day and did a demo in about 10-15 minutes.  It was one of the first ones I sent to Roger to put his parts on.

Someone Told Me

The music was sitting on my hard drive for some time, something I'd pick at and re-visit.  I had the song "Hand Springs" by the White Stripes on my mind.  I like the way Jack White tells a story in the song, and I tried to do something similar here.  I was on the road one day for about 4 hours, and I was determined that by the end of the trip I'd have all the lyrics.  I succeeded, and it was finished quickly!

6th Sense

Sometimes I record cover songs for various reasons.  A lot of times it's because I'm testing gear and need something to do, and cover songs are a fast easy thing to do.  As a result, I actually have quite a bit recorded.  This is one I did that was a lot of fun, and I thought it fit in the context of the rest of the record.  At the time, I was heavily listening to a cassette I had by Bill Nelson called "The Two Fold Aspect of Everything", and this song was by far my favorite.

Living In My Limousine

Whether it’s time spent consulting with artists on their equipment or time spent in the studio developing a client’s masterpiece, Ian Roegels is a leading industry expert at the forefront of the scene.  Though not a household name, he’s been a consistent force for over 30 years with a talent that rivals his contemporaries.  He spent his childhood growing up in Oklahoma City learning to play and produce music. Eventually he earned a degree with honors in music production from the University of Central Oklahoma vía the Academy of Contemporary Music, founded by Scott Booker (The Flaming Lips). 
 
As a producer, engineer, mixer, and musician, Ian has had his hands in a wide variety of projects over the years.  An artist in his own right, his work as a producer often incorporates his own sounds and textures into the recordings giving them a unique flavor and feel. This approach has won him acclaim and recognition from his peers, from bedroom musicians to Grammy winners.  No matter the genre, Ian’s focus is on the song and the artist, ensuring that the final product is the best it can be.
 
In addition to his work in the studio, Ian is also a highly sought after consultant, working with artists across the globe in the development of new projects at Sweetwater Sound.  He has served as a consultant for educational institutions, government facilities, and live performance venues.  
 
2022 saw the release of the EP “Navigating Dystopia” by dangerous robot to critical acclaim and saw Ian move from a producer role to being a full member.  "Ian Roegels helped bring dangerous robot from a garage band to a professional act", says Gunner Williams.  "If you’re looking for that secret sauce for your music he’s your huckleberry. You can borrow him but you can’t have because we found him first!"
 
2023 will see the release of his first solo release since 2018 entitled “Blue Marmalade”, a full fledged pop album featuring notable guest artists including Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Jellyfish, Moog Cookbook, Malibu), Kenny Aronoff (John Mellancamp, John Fogerty, Smashing Pumpkins), Nick D’Virgilio (Spock's Beard, Genesis), Subcat artist Christian Parker, Grammy nominated artist Cory Landry, and Damon Mitchell.
