Chuckie Dreyfus is one of the driving forces and the “hands-on” person of “CD Sound Labs”, a digital recording studio founded in the year 2000. What started out as a simple hobby and a makeshift recording studio in his bedroom has turned into his prime preoccupation. Today, “CD Sound Labs” offers full multi-track digital recording at 32-bit processing, 24-bit/192 khz and higher sampling rates, musical arrangements, commercial jingle production, television/movie scoring and soundtrack, audio/visual presentation, midi sequencing, sound design, foleys/SFX, audio mastering/re-mastering, Album/Graphic Design, CD transferring and CD Duplication. Chuckie learned midi sequencing and arranging by himself in between movie and television projects and he eventually started arranging musical numbers for other artists going on road-shows and concert tours. Apart from this, Chuckie also started arranging medleys and special song numbers for “GMA Supershow” and “That’s Entertainment”. This innate musical talent was further honed when he began to concentrate on his own musical compositions which resulted to the songs: “The Luv Bug”, “Keep On Walking”, “Let’s Go Retro”, “Hiling”, and the carrier single “Kahit Na” of the album “The Luv Bug” which was released by the “REtroSPECT” band under Alpha Records. Apart from this, Chuckie is busy working on other record album projects as well as commercial and political jingles. He is a member of FILSCAP, a member of the Judging & Screening Committee for the “Awit Awards” for the past 6 years (including this year’s 19th Awit Awards). Chuckie also composed the song “The Quiz Bee Dream” for the Quiz Bee Foundation. He also produced the theme song of ABS-CBN’s teen show “SCQ Reload” entitled “Kilig Ako”… a song which he also composed and was performed by Sarah Geronimo. The same song will be released in Sarah’s next record album under Viva Records. He is also the composer of Rachelle Ann Go’s certified hit song entitled, “Bakit”, included in her album, “I Care”, under Viva Records. “Bakit”, also became the the theme song of ABS-CBN’s evening telenovela, “Mirada de Mujer”. Besides his numerous audio/musical endeavors, he also dabbles in Web Design and Site Development.

Jun Regalado is the “concepts guy” of the dynamic partnership in “CD Sound Labs”. A seasoned creative director in the advertising field, Jun is a writer by profession and has dabbled in political writing, scriptwriting, special events, audio-visual productions, performance arts, sound design and was radio commentator for “Gabay Ng Bayan, Kilos Kabayan” program aired daily over DZXL. In the late 80’s and early 90’s, Jun honed his production skills on projects for accounts like Phillip Morris, Jack n’ Jill, and Payless Noodles to mention a few. In fact, it was in one of these numerous commercial productions that he had his first encounter with midi sequencing and the endless possibilities of digital recording. Intrigued with its limitless possibilities and armed with his trusty Macintosh, he dabbled with numerous software and techniques and tried his hand at commercial jingle production. An avid guitarist and heavy metal freak, he also moonlights as a session player for several garage bands. To date, he has composed and arranged countless hard-core metal songs and is awaiting the second coming of the divine axe-shredder. Upon persistent prodding, he has admitted to writing several mainstream songs, the titles of which he is yet to divulge (he admits to having done it for money and his pressing need to hot-rod his Fender Stratocaster guitar). His musical idols include Chopin, Varese, Rachmaninoff, Bach, Frank Zappa, Eddie Vanhalen, Mike Oldfield, Paco deLucia, Andre Segovia, Al diMeola, Charlie Christian, Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, Ingwie Malmsteem, Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton and Eddie Peregrina.
