After leaving Metropolis he went on to work as a freelance assistant on projects around the globe, orchestral editing for several feature films internationally, in addition to editing a series of vocal projects across Europe.
Eventually finding his way to Dean St Studios as a freelance assistant in late 2020, we have quickly adopted him as one of our own – and Joe has proven himself an invaluable asset to any session he is involved in.

This varied experience has led Joe to work with a wide selection of clients, from artists like Skepta and Jorja Smith, to Boy George. He has also worked on multiple Burna Boy tracks, most notably the GRAMMY-nominated album, ‘African Giant’.

Since returning to Dean Street in August 2020, he has picked up right where he left off, working on sessions for Headie One, Burna Boy, London Grammar and Marc Almond. Mixing his knowledge of the studio’s inner workings with a half-decade long study into Soho’s food culture, Charlie is invariably ready on session to either facilitate a mic change and fresh signal chain, or to proffer an enticing lunch choice from the area’s bounty of restaurants and shops.

Often to be found discussing his love for DIY audio equipment (see the Pultec and 1176 currently in Studio 1), Charlie is at his best furiously debating Motown drum sounds, pursuing a bordering-on-the-obsessive love for recording to tape, and weaponising English Literature recitals for unorthodox mic checks.

Rob then began working with Plan B where he engineered and co-produced tracks for his fourth album ‘Heaven Before All Hell Breaks Loose’ which achieved widespread critical acclaim and was a Top 5 hit in the UK charts. Rob has since worked with a wide variety of top London recording studios, engineering tracks for artists including Jay-Z, Little Mix, Kylie Minogue, James Bay, Sir Tom Jones Young Thug, DJ Snake, Future, MF Doom, Ray BLK, Machine Gun Kelly, Jools Holland, Tom Grennan, Jacob Banks, Sub Focus and Laura White.
