Ōkubi Music Studio on SoundBetter

My passion for experimental, glitch-hop, and trip-hop sounds is matched only by my desire to produce it with others. At ŌKUBI Music Studio, it’s about the essence of the song and the colours of the sound palette.

At 13, I found my call in music, and by 2004 I joined the band Stone Circle on Bass guitar. My pursuit of sound led me to the Brighton Institute of Modern Music in 2007, where the foundation was laid for a career rich in production.

Fast-forward to the present, as ŌKUBI, I’ve embraced the world of electronic music, finding a love for the raw and unfiltered sound of analogue synths and tape. My passion for experimental, glitch-hop, and trip-hop sounds is matched only by my desire to share it, teaching music production and synthesiser crafting on my YouTube channel.

At ŌKUBI Music Studio, it’s about the essence of the song and the colours of the sound palette.

Adopting a “less is more” ethos, I believe in perfecting each element, crafting a vibe that speaks volumes without overcrowding the soundscape. It’s not just about adding layers; it’s about making each layer count.

With a heart tuned to the rhythm of Experimental Electronic, Glitch-Hop, Trip-Hop, Synth/Electro Pop, and a soft spot for techno/house.

My studio is an melting pot of sound where genres blend and new worlds are born.

The studio is a treasure trove for any sound-design nerd: a Moog DFAM, Moog Subsequent 25, Arturia Polybrute, Polyend Medusa, and an RD-9 drum machine to kickstart the rhythm. The warmth of analogue recording comes alive with the Tascam 424 4-track and Revox A77 Reel to Reel.

    I'm so happy to have had OKUBI mix and master the FHUR remix of my single Naughty Thoughts. We bonded over our mutual love of the reference tracks, and I'm really pleased with the final result. James was fast, talented and responsive and I can't wait to release the remix into the world!
