I work with atmospheric, immersive records. Some artists hire me to mix, others bring me in as a creative partner to help shape the record from the inside.
I’m a mixing engineer and creative producer working across hybrid electronic music and adjacent territory: trip-hop, dark-leaning alternative, avant pop, alt-R&B, ambient, industrial, and other work where tone, intention, and instability are part of the language.
Alongside my own project Melt Motif, whose releases have passed 5 million streams globally, I’ve worked with independent artists who care about concept, sequencing, imagery, and emotional detail as much as technical finish.
I work best with artists who already have a strong aesthetic instinct and want someone who can meet them inside that world — sometimes as a mix engineer, sometimes as a creative partner, or somewhere in between.
If that feels close to what you’re building, send me a demo and tell me a bit about the project.

check_circleVerifiedJoe is really talented and brought a a real creative flair to my mixes! He is super professional, responsive and really brought his expertise to add depth and character to my atmospheric tracks. I couldn't recommend more!
check_circleVerifiedLook no further if you are finalizing your Song/EP/Album. Joe has all the attributes you would hope for in a top notch mix engineer.
Exceptional ear, great communication skills, patience, high creativity and, above all, the ability to not just know what you’re trying to accomplish with a song, but also how to get it there.
If you’re looking for more proof before you make a decision, just check out his band Melt Motif. The quality he puts into their sound is the same quality you will get.

check_circleVerifiedJoe is a very flexible person to work with. He did a really great job mixing and mastering. From the beginning, he showed a great interest in the project and made the workflow more of a collaboration. He really demonstrated skill in tuning a mix with many layers, ensuring everything sat right and the mix sounded spacious and full.
check_circleVerifiedAwesome mix as usual - I think one thing I would especially recommend about Joe's style is creativity and a good understanding of clients' sound. He often suggests additional elements to the song that really complement the existing instruments, and does a great job of creating mixes that are cohesive in style. Highly recommended.
check_circleVerifiedExcellent job. This song in particular was a bit different in style compared to my usual sound but as always Joe did a great job mixing so it fit in with the rest of the album cohesively.
check_circleVerifiedThe mix itself is excellent and definitely a huge improvement over the demo version, but Joe went above and beyond, adding in some extra synth elements etc which took it to the next level. Great work.
check_circleVerifiedExcellent job mixing, super quick and communicative. Great experience as usual.
check_circleVerifiedJoe did an excellent job taking a song with a fairly dull mix and giving it life and a lot of edge, making the drums hit hard and the guitar sound gritty in a great way. Very nice experience as usual.
