Need to find a place to master my bands 6 track EP

Hello my band "The Sketch" have just finished mixing and recording our 6 track EP and we're looking for someone and somewhere to master it, I think ideally we're looking for a over the net type service with a PQ encoded file we can then burn and send on to press, but we'd like it done in a proper mastering studio with a proper mastering engineer. And we're looking to get it done asap. In terms of budget we don't have a massive one but are willing to pay for quality and a decent finished master, so please feel free to send me a quote. The EP comes in at around 19 - 20 mins

We're a small post-punk / pop / synth type band from the UK and this will be our first release. In terms of mastering we want it brought up to a commercial level with punch, make it sound fatter and smoother and translate well etc etc no surprises there.

I have zipped and uploaded a couple of tracks 24bit wav to YouSendIt - Send large files - transfer delivery - FTP Replacement the tracks were mixed in the box through a software compressor however I have decided to remove the compressor and leave that with the mastering engineer, maybe a nice analogue compressor . In terms of the mixes I am fully open to any comments tweaks that need to be made before mastering.

It would be awesome if we could get perhaps a small sample of what kind of sound you could get and help us decide who to go with.

Thanks a lot!

Ian
