As a freelance he recorded demos that prefaced deals for Thin Lizzy and the Stranglers before becoming engineer for Mutt Lange and working on the AC/DC albums “Highway to Hell” and “Back in Black”, Foreigner – “4”, Boomtown Rats – “Fine Art of Surfacing’ and Broken Home.
He produced and engineered the work of artists such as Samson (with Bruce Dickenson singing), Krokus, Motorhead, Gary Moore, Cheap Trick, Ronnie Dio, The Cult and Marillion and recorded two albums for Buddy Guy - the Grammy winning “Damn Right I Got the Blues” and the follow up “Feels Like Rain”. He developed a close involvement with the well-respected “boutique” Jazz label, Dune Records, working with all their artists including Mercury nominated Soweto Kinch, Denys Baptiste, and Abram Wilson.
Many other productions in the Jazz genre have followed and Tony still undertakes mixing projects in his own studio.
He is a member of the steering group for the education initiative J.A.M.E.S. (Joint Audio Media Education Support), whilst occasionally providing guest lectures, master-classes and workshops for several universities running music industry courses worldwide.

Stubbleman is the alter ego of Pascal Gabriel, a Belgian-British composer and producer known for his genre-defying career. From a punk background, he became a key figure in the late ’80s UK Acid House/Breakbeat explosion, co-writing and producing "Theme from S'Express" and "Beat Dis" with Bomb The Bass, before collaborating with artists like Wire, EMF, Goldfrapp, Dido, Miss Kittin and Kylie.
Returning to his electronic roots, he created Stubbleman, blending modular synthesis, found sounds and live instrumentation. His debut album, Mountains and Plains, captured the vast landscapes of a U.S. road trip in an ambient soundscape. His follow-up album, 1:46:43 - The Ventoux Trilogy, transforms the legendary Mont Ventoux cycling ascent into music, using real-time ride data to drive evolving synth sequences.http://melophobia.com/

Prior to the launch of OLLO Audio, founder Rok Gulič was experimenting with tactile transducers in order to recreate the feel of a studio’s deep, immersive sound at high volumes but in a personal, headphone-like format and this resulted in him building, testing and refining headphones for personal use. On receiving multiple requests from friends for their own headphones, what started as a passion project in a garage became a fully-fledged business.Based in Solvenia, all headphones are hand-built. The company launched with the S4X model in 2019, followed by the S5X and launched the X1 in 2025. OLLO Audio’s vision is that headphones should be durable, fully repairable with home tools and made to last, which is why every OLLO model is designed with replaceable parts, making them some of the most sustainable and long-lasting headphones on the market. Their designs avoid plastic where possible, instead using metal and wood to create a design that’s both visually striking and built for longevity.

Apogee’s unique 924 and 944 anti-aliasing filters were used in high-end Sony and Mitsubishi digital recording systems to make the CD format sound warmer and more like analogue. These Apogee products were important factors in the acceptance and acceleration of early digital recording and forever established Apogee as a leader in the field.Apogee continues to innovate with technologies and products for the home recording market, starting with Duet and Ensemble interfaces, followed by MiC and JAM, the first pro products for iOS recording. More recently they have introduced the Symphony Desktop interface and HypeMiC to their range.

Since 1978, Genelec active studio monitors and subwoofers have delivered truthful, neutral sound reproduction - enabling engineers and creatives to make accurate and reliable mix decisions, even in challenging rooms.Founded in Finland by childhood friends Ilpo Martikainen and Topi Partanen, the company’s first monitor, the S30, instantly became the blueprint for Genelec’s future direction. Its active design delivered consistent performance, total reliability, and the ability to adapt to the acoustic environment it was operating in.
The following decades have seen a string of technically innovative Genelec releases, from the now-legendary 1031A nearfield model to the latest coaxial point source models from The Ones family. Genelec’s growing range of Smart Active Monitors work closely with GLM calibration software, allowing each monitor to be completely optimised for the room, producing mixes that translate consistently to the outside world.
Aki Mäkivirta joined Genelec in 1995. He originally worked for the Nokia Research Centre and teamed up with Ari Varla of Genelec during a joint venture between the two companies, where Mäkivirta demonstrated how to replace analogue filters with digital processing using the 1031A nearfield monitor. As a result, Mäkivirta joined Genelec to pioneer the creation of the original 8200 series of Smart Active Monitors, before becoming R&D Director in 2013.
Andy Bensley joined Genelec as Regional Business Development Manager in 2019. Based in the UK, Andy has huge experience in analysing and tuning the in-room performance of loudspeaker systems in a wide range of studios – from the smallest bedroom to the largest post production studio.

Universal Audio was founded in 1958 by Bill Putnam Sr., a passionate innovator and favourite recording engineer of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles and more. Putnam was the inventor of the modern recording console, the multi-band audio equaliser and the vocal booth, and he was the first engineer to use artificial reverberation in commercial recording. Alongside his friend Les Paul, he was also involved in the early development of stereophonic recording. Many of his legendary studio and equipment designs are still in use today.Universal Audio was re-founded in 1999 by Bill's sons, James Putnam, a skilled audio engineer and Bill Putnam Jr, who earned a degree in Electrical Engineering. Their two main goals were to faithfully reproduce classic analogue recording equipment in the tradition of their father and to design new digital recording tools with the sound and spirit of vintage analogue technology. Their award-winning products include the UAD Powered Plug-Ins platform and the Apollo audio interface, first introduced in 2012. Universal Audio is headquartered near Silicon Valley in Scotts Valley, California. A few miles away in Santa Cruz is the Universal Audio Custom Shop, where their classic analog gear is still hand-built, one unit at a time.

Daniel Miller is the founder and chairman of Mute, a record label and publishing company with a long history of global Number One chart successes. Since its launch in 1978, Mute now has an artist roster that includes Goldfrapp, New Order, Can, KÁRYYN, Daniel Blumberg, Desire Marea, Louis Carnell, Josh T. Pearson, Erasure, Swans and Miss Grit, with offices in London and New York.Miller's early interest were electronics and synthesizers and he studied for a Diploma in Film and TV at Guildford School of Art (1969-72). After college, he worked as an assistant editor and editor in TV and advertising, before travelling and DJing across Europe. In 1976 he returned home and with a Korg 700S keyboard and a TEAC four-track recorder, made The Normal’s first single. He set up Mute to release the single in 1978 and the initial plan was for a minimum pressing of 500, but Rough Trade offered to distribute the single nationally, persuading Miller to press 2,000 copies. Called ‘TVOD’, it was backed with ‘Warm Leatherette’ and this electro-pop classic was later covered by Grace Jones on her epochal 1980 album of the same name.
Further Mute releases soon followed and in 1980 Miller met Depeche Mode. When their original songwriter Vince Clarke left to form the synth-pop duo Yazoo in 1981, Miller suddenly found himself with two highly successful pop acts. Throughout the 1980s, Mute expanded at a careful pace, bringing Nick Cave and Erasure to the roster and expanding its international reach. New labels The Grey Area and NovaMute were launched plus a deal with Blast First saw the ‘Theme from S’Express’ become their first Number One single in 1988. Moby’s 1999 album ‘Play’ grew slowly from a modest success into a 10 million selling phenomenon.
After several years working within the structure of the Labels Division of EMI, 2010 saw the label return to its independent roots. Mute continues to nurture fresh talent and Miller remains heavily focussed on Mute’s creative output and is also a well-respected and sought after techno DJ, playing regularly worldwide.
