Ed West

Remote Mix Engineer

Ed West on SoundBetter

Credits include Lee Scratch Perry, Zara McFarlane, Soothsayers, Wulu - My sound is all about Dub, Jazz, Neo Soul, Hip Hop & live band performance. As a drummer, mix Engineer & DJ with over 15 years experience in the studio, playing live, producing, engineering, mixing and mastering music I'm more than qualified to help with your record.

Primarily a mix engineer, but available for digital mastering as well. Recent mastering credits include Tirzah, Wulu, Mica Levi, Hylu, Sleepy Time Ghost, Anja Ngozi. I'm as comfortable mixing live band performances as I am mixing sequenced electronic productions. A true audio geek, lecturing part time at BIMM group universities on Acoustics, Mixing and approaches to production. My experience as both a musician/artist and a mix engineer gives me a useful perspective on the record making process. I have a rich pallet of influences from my early days in Punk bands & the anti-folk scene, alongside my DJ & sound system career playing Jungle, dubstep stringing up sound systems in plenty of unique locations. Playing drums for and with the likes of the legendary Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Nick Mannaseh, The Hempolics & The Drop as well as producing reggae and dancehall tracks released on Tru Thoughts, Reggae Roast, and for Bristols favourite MC Gardna has seen my music championed by the likes of David Rodigan, Don Letts & Toddla T. Reggae, Dub and Dancehall have played a huge part in the development of my sound, and these genres have of course played a huge part in the sound of UK music as a whole. There is a deep understand of music rooted in sound system culture here, and this is carried forward in my sound.
