Gil Tamazyan

Gil Tamazyan is a **Los Angeles-based producer and musician** with a fascinating dual career spanning both music production and vinyl manufacturing. Growing up in a musical household where he learned violin and drums, Tamazyan went on to teach himself piano, bass, vibraphone, and congas. His journey into the professional music world began early—before even reaching legal drinking age, he was working studio sessions in Hollywood with legendary artists including Joe Cocker, Green Day, and Weezer.

What sets Tamazyan apart is his commitment to craftsmanship across multiple disciplines. As a **musician and producer**, he's been making cultured sounds for two decades, working across genres from deep house to Italo disco. But he's equally renowned for founding **Capsule Labs**, a vinyl pressing and mastering plant he started in 2000 at just 23 years old in Downtown LA's Artist District. Operating during the era when vinyl was considered obsolete, Tamazyan built Capsule Labs with a mission to bridge the gap between production studios and pressing plants, emphasizing virgin vinyl (no regrind), in-house mastering, and direct-to-disc recording. Over two decades, he's remained one of the only vinyl pressing plants operating in central Los Angeles, serving both indie and major label artists while maintaining an unwavering emphasis on quality. His recent musical releases include *Mise en Place Vol. 1* and *Clean Getaway*.
