The Urchin Studios Podcast

Phil Collins on a Concorde

This week Matt and Dan discuss taking risks in the studio, making use of reference tracks and Phil Collins

 

Tracks mentioned:

Elbow - One Day Like This
Queen - Don't Stop Me Now

In The Balance of Things

Against all odds Matt and Dan return for a second week in a row to chew the fat on their approaches to mixing, online production tips and Bob Marley

Now and Then we make a podcast

Matt and Dan attempt a brand new format - weekly episodes instead of once every 6 months. Will this innovative approach last? Or will it fall on its face before Christmas? Find out in today's episode!
