What's it like to be a record producer that's worked on so many records with the likes of Coldplay, Suede, Morrisey, Starsailor, Patti Smith, Amy McDonald, Pet Shop Boys...? How do you make so many great records and have people want you back time after time? We met with Danton at RAK Studios (home to many of the biggest acts) where he has based himself in a cool studio that fuses cool interior design with technology to get his views and insight.
Danton uses this new studio space for writing, arranging and pre-production. In many cases, if the studio is appropriate, he books Studio Two at RAK to do the bulk of an album recording session and then brings the session up to his room to continue working on it.
Connected to the RAK network, Danton is able to hook up to the studio and have an assistant in his room busy editing etc while he's working in the tracking space etc. It's a very flexible setup and one great reason to be based at a studio complex - the studio facilities at RAK include a bunch of great tracking spaces with vintage mixing desks and now features a very impressive ATMOS mixing suite.
This is our fifth feature with Danton filmed over 20 years so please check our website for the other 'classic interviews'. George Shilling met with George on a lovely sunny day at RAK to talk about everything you can think of - this is very much an insiders perspective and requires a minimum of one cup of tea/coffee to be ready before watching as it runs nearly an hour - but we hope that you find this depth interesting :-)
A big thanks to Emma at RAK for making us so welcome and a big thanks to George Shilling for taking time out of his schedule to visit Danton.
