Brandon J Flannery on SoundBetter

My job is to make your music compete sonically with the best in its genre — whether that's on Beatport, Spotify, or a club system.

I'm a mixing engineer specialising in music that lives in feel and atmosphere. House, electronic, indie, and acoustic driven music where the emotion of the mix is everything.

I only take on projects I genuinely believe I can take to the level they deserve. If I don't think your music is the right fit for what I do, I'll tell you before we start.

When I take on your project, I'm fully committed to it. We work until it's right — however long that takes.

If that sounds like what you've been looking for, send me a message and let's hear what you're working on.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

by Benoit J.
It was brilliant working with Brandon, you could really tell that he cared a lot about the end goal and worked really hard to make it happen. Definitely elevated my track to a whole other level that I couldn't of done myself. Would 100% use his services again and most assuredly intend to.

Interview with Brandon J Flannery

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I only take on projects I believe I can genuinely elevate — if I don't think I'm the right fit, I'll tell you upfront rather than take your money. Once I'm in, I'm fully committed: we work through revisions until the mix is right, however long that takes. You're not just hiring a set of ears, you're hiring someone who treats your track like it matters as much to me as it does to you.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Three things matter most to me before I start: What do you want this track to feel like by the end — not just sound like? What are your reference tracks, and what specifically about them do you want me to chase? And where is this heading — Beatport, streaming, club play, or all three? The answers shape every mixing decision from there, and they help me work out early on whether I'm genuinely the right fit for the project.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Flume. Their mixes are a masterclass in emotional restraint — nothing is overworked, every element has room to breathe, and the low end sits perfectly across every format. The way they balance warmth and space is exactly what I aim for in my own work. Mixing for them would be a benchmark.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Reference constantly, but reference intelligently. Don't just ask 'does mine sound like this' — ask why it doesn't. Is the low end too full? Is the stereo width competing with the kick? Is the vocal sitting in a different frequency pocket? The gap between your mix and your reference is a diagnostic tool, not a judgement.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Space and intention. In house and electronic music, the mix is the emotion — the width of a pad, the weight of a kick, the moment a vocal sits just far enough back to feel like a memory. I mix with the full listening context in mind: how it translates on a club system, on headphones, on streaming. My job is to make sure nothing in the mix works against what the track is trying to feel like.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Before I touch anything I want to understand the track's intent — what it should feel like, not just sound like. I'll ask for reference tracks and a brief, then do a full listen before starting. From there I work stem group by stem group, building the low end foundation first, then working outward. I send an initial mix with notes on the decisions I've made, and we refine from there until it's exactly where it needs to be.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: RUFUS DU SOL, Flume, Bicep, Ben Böhmer, ODESZA.
