James Brown

Get In Touch

Ex-Chief Engineer at RAK Studios in London, James has acquired a wealth of experience in recording and mixing in both the analog and digital realms.  He has also worked with many of the world’s most eminent producers such as Butch Vig, Alan Moulder, Flood, Rich Costey, Gil Norton, David Bottrill, Kevin Shields, Daniel Lanois, Brian Eno, Elvis Costello, Stephen Hague, Marius de Vries, Hector Castillo and Phil Thornalley.

We think that James has had one of the best years of anyone who ever pushed a fader… the Sound City project has been the stuff of dreams; taking in sessions with Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks and John Fogerty; the legendary Lee Ving and Jim Keltner; members of the Foo Fighters, Kyuss, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Rage Against the Machine; as well as Trent Reznor, Krist Novoselic, Cheap Trick’s Rick Neilsen, Rick Springfield and the astonishing Corey Taylor… He then followed that up by producing the Songs From Utopia EP with Brooklyn’s Bear Hands, and engineered sessions for the Dropkick Murphys and Ghost B.C….. Add to that the first Billboard U.S. #1 album for Matchbox Twenty, and complete album mixes for Jimmy Eat World, David Ford and We Are Scientists.  All things considered, it’s been a stellar year for James.

James has just recorded and mixed the highly anticipated forthcoming Kings of Leon album.  A great start to another great year…
