Leading up to the 20th anniversary of the iconic British album Up The Bracket by The Libertines, Rough Trade Records found itself in this exact knot as they set out to remaster the album. The Libertines’ debut album, which was produced by Mick Jones of The Clash, has been described as one of the most influential albums of the 2000’s. The rock'n'roll classic was heralded for its role in shepherding in a new era of music that broke away from the British-pop that dominated the late nineties. Unfortunately, after nearly 20 years, the indie record label was unable to access the stems for the album and turned to AudioShake as they neared this milestone celebration.

Without the original project files, the label’s team of engineers and producers were able to use AudioShake’s stem separation AI to create stems from the master tracks. Giving the team clean, standardized files from which they could mix a brand new album.
