Ash Workman

Clients include: Christine & The Queens, Metronomy, Ghost Poet, The Shoes

Ash is one of the most exciting new producers to have emerged in the UK over the last few years. Having built a name for himself for his work with Metronomy, Ash found global success producing and mixing the Christine and The Queens debut album “Chaleur Humaine”. 

On a chance encounter engineering a session for Stephen Street back in 2011 at Strongroom Studios in London, Ash became friends with Joseph Mount aka Metronomy. That summer proved to be career defining as Ash began the ambitious role of mixing Metronomy’s Mercury Prize nominated LP “The English Riviera”. This was the start of a very successful working relationship between Ash and Joe that continues to this day. His production, engineering and mixing skills are featured on all of Metronomy’salbums since “The English Riviera”, including recent co-production and mix work across “Small World” which entered at #7 in the UK official charts.

Ash then set up shop at The Premises, and his reputation as an exciting new mix engineer was consolidated by mixing records for a host of emerging British talent including The Klaxons, Ghost Poet, Damian Lazarus and NZCA LINES. He started to build a name for himself on the continent as well by mixing French talent, The Shoes. He also set about honing his production skills by producing and mixing records for Francois & The Atlas Mountains, Night Works and Barbarossa.

Through his relationship with Metronomy’s French Label Because Music, Ash met Christine and the Queens and in 2014 he began work on her debut album “Chaleur Humaine.” The album went on to sell over a million copies, going triple platinum in France and Gold in the UK and amassed tens of millions of streams along with winning Best Album of 2016 for The Guardian, The Independent, Mojo, NME and Rough Trade.

He continues to work with Christine and the Queens to this day, producing the stunning ‘La vita Nuova’ EP in 2020, and more recently co-writing and producing the ‘Rien Dire’ single on their latest release ‘Redcar’. Not foregoing his alternative roots, Ash produced and mixed Baxter Dury’s album “Prince Of Tears”.

Having relocated to Margate, Ash now works out of his brand new custom built studio, Electric Beach Studios. Here he has recently mixed records for German artist JATA along with Teleman, Rozi Plain and Brandt Brauer Frick and has recently finished mixing and producing London trio, Girl Ray’s, latest album.

Post pandemic Ash is keeping busy in the studio on exciting new projects, having recently finished the newest project with Scottish indie-rock band Lucia & the Best Boys, along with Sparkling, Papooz, QuinzeQuinze, and Valencia Grace. Most recently, Ash co-produced and co-wrote multiple tracks on Christine and the Queen’s latest album including the stunning singles To Be Honest and A Day In The Water.
