EP 219: Pete Min – Being in Service to the Music

master your mix podcast, ep 219 pete min

Pete Min is a recording engineer, producer, and label owner based in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles. His label Colorfield Records features artful collaborative explorations with musicians in unlikely configurations. 

Pete’s studio Lucy’s Meat Market has become one of the most in-demand spots for recording among a subset of musical artists with LA ties ranging from Ben Wendel and Larry Goldings to Andrew Bird and Feist.

Min started Colorfield Records to pursue a less traditional approach to recording, one that he refers to as “sculpted chaos.”

He says, “I want what’s in the subconscious. I don’t want it ironed out. When people are just doing it and it’s coming out, that’s what I’m interested in.”

Since launching in 2021 the label has released records by Abe Rounds, Larry Goldings, Mark Guiliana, Sam Gendel, Anthony Wilson, Brad Allen Williams, and others.
