It was waking up on his 14th birthday to a Tascam Portastudio 4 track cassette recorder that started Paul off on his Grammy winning career. Having played guitar and bass since the age of 6 it was experimenting with recording and mixing on the Tascam that sparked Pauls lifelong curiosity of sound, mixing and sound engineering.
This curiosity led Paul to joining Metropolis as a runner and then assistant engineer. It was here working alongside the amazing talents of Paul Epworth, Dom Morley, Chris Potter, Rob Orton, Josh Gudwin and Dan Parry that Paul learned his craft. Studying the way these greats worked and trying their techniques for himself allowed Paul to develop a set of tools that he uses to this day to mix and engineer.
Over the years Paul has developed his philosophy, constantly shaped by those he considers the greatest mix engineers working today, Spike and Serben. Today having won his Grammy for his work on Rhianna he maintains one clear law: Serve the Song.
Growing up in a house surrounded by music Liam’s fascination with sound started in his teens when he picked up a guitar. Hundreds of hours trying to emulate his favourite bands guitar tones led him down a rabbit hole of recording techniques, mics, capturing sound, mixing and engineering. A rabbit hole that arguably Liam is still totally, 100% immersed in – albeit a two time Grammy and MPG award winning rabbit hole.
Joining Metropolis early on, Liam worked alongside the then Chief Engineer Sam Wheat, Xavier Stephenson and the amazing mix engineer Dan Parry. Assisting these great Engineers has given Liam a level of experience that he still draws on to this day.
With Liam’s passion for new and emerging technology and his knowledge of Metropolis’s analogue gear, this engineering experience has put Liam at the forefront of modern day engineering.
During his time at Metropolis, Liam has worked with some of the most influential artists in Pop and Hip Hop, such as Adele, David Guetta, Drake, Future, Rihanna and Stormzy to name just a few and his work can be regularly heard on TV and radio.
Liam has a simple philosophy when either recording or mixing: Enhance the song, but always keep artists vision and songs direction intact.
If you knew Alex you would know that his route into music could only be via one route: Drums. Playing drums in various bands growing up meant Alex spent an inordinate amount of time in studios. From the first moment he stepped inside a control room Alex became obsessed with the buttons, switches, lights and faders, but more than that he was fascinated about how they helped shape creativity and vision.
Alex then got deeply involved in cutting his teeth on engineering live sound. But something was still lurking in the back of his mind; how to capture sound the moment creativity strikes in the studio. This took Alex back to get a degree in Sound Engineering and diving straight in at a small studio in Wimbledon then assisting producer James Sanger In France. Watching a world-class producer manipulating sound and translating an artist’s vision inspired Alex back to London and Metropolis.
Alex sites Spike and Serben as operating at a different level to everybody else but is currently fascinated by the work David Wrench is delivering. The large atmospheric mixes that maintain clarity and excitement mean you know when you’re listening to a Wrench mix.
For Alex his philosophy chimes very much with that of Metropolis itself, it’s all about the artist. That’s where is starts and finishes, no room for ego, find the space where you are improving the reference mix and stay faithful to their vision. Artist first. Always.
