About Us

In telling you about ourselves we could bore you with many stories about wrestling guys with no arms, roller blade and mountain bike wipe outs, swimming in ponds at Chinese food restaurants -- all of these stories are highly entertaining, but aren't really relevant to the business.

Sideshow Productions started out as a hobby studio, and now it is anything but.

With our fully digital studios, loaded with Pro-Tools and a bunch of outboard gear, we are set up to do anything audio. Commercials, infomercials, syndicated talk shows, video game sound effects, and automated telephone system recordings are just a few of the projects we take on.

Bottom line... "We do what we love and love what we do" (Andrew W.K.).

Mel Kartusch - Producer / Owner / Ringmaster

Mel started Sideshow Productions six years ago, as a result of spending too much time at work in the studio. So now he spends to much time in his studio at home. With 13 years of production behind him, and working for 12 different radio stations with 8 different formats, his experience is as vast as his large cranium.

Mel has launched 7 new radio stations, and his client list includes New Rock, Classic Rock, Soft AC, Hot AC, Country, Sports Talk and Guy Talk. He also has produced campaigns for major audio / video retailers, automobile companies, cell phone communication firms, and he also produces a nationwide syndicated talk show.

And he's still married. Shocking.

His only problem? He loves the Montreal Canadiens. Go Habs Go.
