KEEPINTOUCH
Matt Catlow - I am a music producer, composer and mix engineer based in Brighton, UK who has worked with a range of artists in various musical styles over the past 20 years. I offer remote services to artists looking for high quality backing tracks as well as mixing/mastering for tracks that have already been recorded. I'm also a Director at Amplify Us and an experienced Community Music leader, having worked for a leading homelessness charity (2008 -2020) setting up and running their recording studio in central London. If you'd like to discuss your project and explore how I can help you achieve the best results, I'm happy to connect via email or video call. Just reach out!

October 2024 - Dekay - SWIM (Album)
I've worked on many of Dekay's albums in the past as a producer and mixing engineer and for the latest album "SWIM" I produced 2 of the tracks and mixed the rest of the album with other producers coming onboard. Dekay: This is my fourteenth album and it documents a particularly nightmarish hell of a time in my adult life, deep in the fever dream that is high functioning alcoholism. I really hope it helps some of you that are going through the same thing, but I wrote this for myself. After all, there's only so long you can drown for before you sink or swim. All proceeds from this album will be donated to registered charity Alcohol Change UK. - I tried to hide, but there's no escaping time and tide. - Keep Swimming ... https://dekay.bandcamp.com/album/swim

In February & March 2024 I visited St Anne's Church in Soho, London for a series of location recordings for the Soundwalk project "A City Full of Stories." The project was created alongside people experiencing homelessness at The Connection at St Martin-in-the-Fields in partnership with musicians from the Royal Academy of Music. ‘A City Full of Stories’ is a 25-minute immersive experience, starting at St Martin in the Fields Church, inviting those who listen to it to slow down, look around, and listen…
