In an exclusive collaboration with Universal Music Austria and DG, Supersense is launching a high-end record to put music lovers into the audio engineer’s seat: the Mastercut Edition.

In the conventional record production process, the term “Mastercut” refers to a template disc from which the pressing stamper is derived and which is destroyed in that process. But in these editions, each and every record is the original Mastercut, hand-cut into a lacquer disc, directly from completely unedited 1:1 copies of original tapes.

For this project, Universal Music Group provided access to its archives containing the greatest recordings from over a century of music history. Every single Edition is handcrafted in the Viennese Supersense manufactory by a small team of experts in the fields of record cutting, traditional printing methods and packaging design.
