I work with 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 texture, intention, and instability are part of the language.
Alongside my own project Melt Motif, 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, as a mix engineer, 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 did an amazing job as usual, this time mixing a contemporary ambient track and taking the soundstage and textures to another level.

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.
