"I have always found Simon to be knowledgeable, thorough and, most importantly, musical in his approach. He’s always easy to work with and does a great job.”
Nick Cohen - Eurythmics, Massive Attack, M-People, 101 Artists
“We've used Simon for multiple releases now, and he has knocked it out of the park each time. A really important part of his work to us is that, he understands who we are as a band and what sort of energy we want to convey in our sound, the first pass is usually close to bang on the money each time, he always works to our deadlines too without question. Simon is your guy for mastering!”
Jim - Bruise Control
“Simon is always the first person I speak to when I want to make new music. He has a fun and approachable way of producing, while also being incredibly competent and skilled. Nothing is beyond the realm of possibility - Simon Helps make the abstract ideas in my head come to life, even when I’m describing them to him really weirdly!”
