Hey, I realized I never did a proper intro—so here we go! 👋 I’m Dan, a music producer multi instrumentalist and songwriter based in the (one and only) Milton Keynes—aka the City of the Future™️. What started with a few friends back in the day asking me to produce their records has turned into something more than I imagined and I’m now in a position where I have worked on a fair amount of records and composition’s for other artists. 🎧

Over the last few years I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some really cool artists and I’ve tried to capture every step of the journey whilst being as transparent about the process as I can.

Worth Noting - this is still a one-man show. From the content creation to the videography, photography, recording, mixing, mastering, and all the admin—I currently do it solo so patience is always appreciated.

I’m always excited to connect with new artists—whether I can help or just to chat about music and production, it’s something I’m very passionate about—so feel free to reach out! Always happy to try and make some studio magic. ✨

Huge thanks to my band mates @mat_day._ @lukepalm__ @samroundmusic for being spot on. you guys played a blinder…seriously, you blow me away every time we play together, but this one was seemed extra special to me!

City of the Future —> LDN

There’s always a neon sign 🪧

One of the fun parts of shooting this event is that we both took a small point and shoot - Fuji XF10 + Ricoh GRiii

Let’s have a look at Rest (By My Side) a heartfelt song by @robbieherrick - we put this track together in one session in the “old” studio so it’s been great to revisit it!

I think the analogue vibe machine by @uaudio is something I use on nearly every mix nowadays. by @melonwave_audio

Here’s a little look at my Thursday gig shooting @liamcromby in Camden. With a couple of my favourite shots. Excited to see what’s in the future for these guys!

In the day I shot a lot on the Fuji xf10 and for gig itself, we were back onto the Sony! 📸

I am back with some breakdowns and like a lasagne songs are comprised of layers. This time I am showing the parts that make up Tangerine by @hanabrooksmusic and wonderful collaborative project between Hana and @harrisonhoodmusic I was buzzed to shape this one into the final track.
