FULLBLAST RECORDINGS is the home of Pachelli Productions - the music produced by Mike Pachelli for Fullblast Recordings and also Stonechelli Productions (the partnership between Mike Pachelli and CCM founding father Randy Stonehill).
The Studio is in Nashville, TN. It's equipped with a ProTools 9 HD rig, professional microphones (Neumann, AKG), vintage and boutique pre-amps (Telefunken V72, Vintech, Toft), Apogee converters, our favorite plug-ins, the finest vintage amps, vintage guitars and the impeccable reference of Genelec 1030a's. The isolation booth (designed by Gary Hedden) is as large as an average drum riser and VERY spacious for vocal recording. Mike Pachelli is also developing quite a reputation for his mastering prowess. Clients include Warren Cuccurullo (Duran Duran, Frank Zappa Band, Missing Persons) Neil Carlill, Terry Bozio and Phil Keaggy. If an artist prefers additional ears we use Bernie Grundman, Eddy Schreyer, and Richard Dodd.
Our client roster is continually growing and we are proud to say that some of the most discerning ears in the business are using us for producing, tracking, mixing, editing, overdubs and mastering.
TESTIMONIALS:
"For over thirty-five years I have been around musicians encompassing the whole spectrum from classical, to choral and acoustic, to rock. In all of that time, in both Europe and America, I have only encountered a mere handful of artists with the innate genius and ability of Mike Pachelli. His encyclopedic knowledge of music and recording makes him a joy to work with in the studio, and brings a depth of experience to his production that, in my opinion, is second to none."

"WHAT a BLAST! Working with Mike Pachelli at Fullblast Recordings. I've known Mike as a serious professional musician for more years than I care to grasp. My first encounter was Mike as the producer of a groundbreaking album. His input, his prowess, his ear, and technical skill was excellent then and that edge has continued to sharpen with the whetstone of time. Now with the tools of modern recording in his hands, the cutting edge is even more acute.
Like a highly skilled surgeon, Mike took my tracks and blended the vocals into a recording I'm not only pleased to share, but eager to promote through audio media channels around the world.
Don't hesitate, have your own BLAST at Fullblast Recordings!"
Lynn Royce Taylor - The Imperials
"The debut release from Warren Cuccurullo's new band Chicanery is a densely packed, tightrope-walk of sound that demanded precision and excellence in post-production and mastering. We also had a very short time frame with which to work. Mike Pachelli and Fullblast Recordings pulled it all off with gusto.
With his background as a long-time member of Duran Duran, and legendary work with Frank Zappa and Missing Persons, Warren's work always draws attention, and the album Chicanery (mastered at Fullblast Recordings) is the subject of a Rolling Stone interview this week."
Dean Capone - CEO dPulse Recordings
"Mike Pachelli is a true musician. He is a guitarist whose musical understanding and comprehension go much deeper. I've asked Mike to record quite different styles (electric and acoustic) and he always provides more than I hoped. It's a pleasure to work with a man who still loves music. His passion and creativity come through on each track. (He's a really nice guy, too!)."
DAVID HARRIS - Los Angeles Producer (Micky Dolenz, Joe Williams)
"Our first time working with Mike Pachelli and not only is he a class act but the guy made our stuff sound unbelievable! He was incredibly helpful helping us zero in our final mix to get us the best possible premastering and he was very thorough. We are a tad picky with our sound I might add. Our stuff sounded great after we incorporated his edits to the production alone, and after he did his Mastering Magic… Completely professional sound and a totally professional guy. Outstanding work. I would highly recommend him to anyone for any audio project without hesitation."
CHASE - EXCELLENT Chicago-area Hard Rock Group
"The Stonehill/Pachelli production team most certainly delivers! These men are highly professional in every aspect of recording and producing. They deliver a recording that any artist, songwriter, or band would be proud of. In fact, they will create a masterful end product that may be well above your highest expectations. Randy Stonehill (producer and songwriter) and Mike Pachelli (top notch engineer and guitarist) work together to bring each artist excellent results through their more than capable ears and hands. I suggest you give them a call as soon as you have your bucks in a row."
PHIL KEAGGY - Veteran guitarist of the Boomer Generation
"I have worked with Mike Pachelli on many projects over the years and he has always been the consummate professional. The last project we did together was for Pam Seaman's CD "I've Gotta Sing." Mike recorded all the acoustic guitar parts here in Nashville with world-class perfection. Having Mike Pachelli work on your project automatically elevates the artistry to the next level.
Now that Mike and Randy Stonehill have combined their talents you have an exact roadmap to get your music to that genius level you have been looking for!"
TOM SABELLA - CEO Page2 Management
