Zopp- UK Canterbury - Looking for mixing engineer

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,
I'm an artist from the UK, currently under the name of 'Zopp'.

My music is a cross between instrumental Canterbury Scene (inspired by National Health/ Egg) and dark prog/jazz.

I have recorded an album and i am looking for someone to mix the record. 

Can you recommend any mixing engineers who understand this music, preferably in the UK or Europe? 

I am currently making a list of people in the prog world who would be interested and suitable. I am reluctant to go to the 'top dogs' i.e. Hackett and Wilson, as i'm not signed yet, but my budget is stable shall we say.

For example, i hear Dave Lawson ex-Greenslade still operates a studio; he's on my list.

I've contacted Peter Hamill, Jakko, John Mcentire (Tortoise). No responses yet ... haha 

You can listen to two demos here >> https://zopp.bandcamp.com/

Any help and tips on finding a suitable mixing engineer appreciated!

	Man, that is sounding AWSOME ! How you get your organ sound ? It’s classic Dave Stewart through and through. Best sound ever actually. Sorry can’t help with what you’re seeking. I’m sure someone will pick up on it quickly - it’s potential is apparent.

	Wow, thanks Tom! That's right, Dave Stewart is a favourite of mine; my record has a lot of fuzz hammond organlead sounds and fuzz bass, very much like Egg, National Health, Hatfield etc. I have a Korg cx3 organ and i ran it through a Big Muff fuzz pedal and Vox wah pedal.

	Check out M23:Studio. They're Poland based so their services are not superexpensive. You should try messaging them.

	Hi Hrychu. Thank you! I should have replied sooner on this thread- it is currently being mixed in the UK by a prog keyboard legend who really understands the 'Canterbury sound' shall we say. I won't reveal his name for now, but i'll give everyone an update once the record is out! Feel free to like the Zopp Facebook page for updates >> https://www.facebook.com/zoppmusic/
