Specialising in daring electronic, industrial, heavy, and everything experimental and left field that may seem impossible to mix. From the sultriest of trip-hop to the blackest of metal, your unique sound is in good hands. My speciality and my passion are the challenging, the innovative, the fearless.
Every project is different, and each artist has a sound all their own. As a mix engineer, my aim is not to make the record sound “right” but to make it sound its best with all its quirks and idiosyncrasies.
There are countless examples of worldwide hits with downright bad sound, and countless obscure gems whose sound is simply brilliant. Sound engineering matters, but let’s be honest – thinking a multi-platinum name on a resume means success for your record is naive. Engineering is not magic dust. It’s a craft, and it’s collaboration.
While I specialise in the unconventional, I also welcome artists from more familiar or mainstream genres looking for a thoughtful, characterful mix that brings out the best in their music. If you only want to be “radio-ready,” minimum-effort discount options will do. If you want something that actually leaves a mark beyond charts and cash, put some faith in me and I’ll put in the work. I'm your guy.
A niche genre project mustn't try to sound polished at the expense of character, but neither should it hide poor sound behind the excuse of being underground. No matter how niche, you want to stand out and reach as big an audience as the scene permits.
Here is where I come in. Using your brief, references and any other information you deem helpful in understanding your sonic vision, I'll start working towards your goal.
Early on we establish the extent of my input — from the lightest of touches to sculpt the minutiae that will take your mix from “almost there” to “all done”, to digging deep into your production’s very core to sort through the layers and hierarchy of the elements. My goal is to make you sound like you, at your best. Do your vocals need heavy stacking? Does that synth lead that sounds gorgeous in isolation actually serve the song, or is it just showing off? I may dig into those details so the final mix isn’t a collection of pretties, dB and Hz — it’s a statement.
In the music business since 2003, having worked with unabashedly extreme and soothingly suave genres alike, I've learned rules are best bent, limits pushed, edges left rough, quality is not conformity, life is a journey, the mind is a labyrinth (and a terrible thing to waste and/or taste).
