EP22 - Mikko Gordon - "Be Prepared....For Thom Yorke and Arcade Fire"
Mikko Gordon is a London based mix engineer and producer. He graduated from Goldsmiths with a degree in music and has worked with much of the exciting talent coming out of that university since then. After building a relationship with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich through his act Ultraísta, Nigel recognised Mikko’s talents, and brought him on to his team. Since then Mikko’s worked on some incredible projects, most recently The Smile, a supergroup which include Radiohead members Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood, alongside Sons of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner, and the new Arcade Fire album 'WE'. Here, we join Mikko in the Neve room at his Hackney Road Studios base.The Process of Production is a music production podcast presented by Lawrence Diamond and Bob Matthews. Lawrence cut his teeth playing and writing in Indie bands before finding international success and touring the world with his band CITIZENS! During that time he worked with a host of revered producers including Liam Howe, Mark Ralph and Alex Kapranos. Since the band ended in 2016 he’s been using that experience to help other artists develop their careers as a writer and producer while continuing to release his own music under various different guises. Bob learned his trade as the producer and multi-instrumentalist in Electronic Pop duo Alpines, whose career spans 3 albums, releases on major and indie record labels, shows with Florence + The Machine, The xx, Emeli Sandé, and a top 20 hit 'Tidal Wave' in collaboration with Sub Focus. In recent years he has turned his focus to producing other acts and has a studio in Chiswick in West London.
