Ash Workman

Ash is one of the most exciting new writer producers to have emerged in the UK over the last few years. Having built a name for himself for his mix work with Metronomy, Ash found global success producing and mixing the extraordinary 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’s albums 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 Roughtrade.

He continues to work with Christine and the Queen to this day, producing the stunning ‘La vita Nuova’ EP in 2020, and more recently co-writing and producing multiple tracks on 2023’s ‘Paranoia, Angels, True Love’.

Having relocated to Margate, Ash now works out of his brand new custom built studio, Electric Beach Studios. Here he has mixed records for German artist JATA along with Teleman, Rozi Plain and Brandt Brauer Frick, and London trio, Girl Ray’s, latest album. Not foregoing his alternative roots, Ash also produced and mixed Baxter Dury’s album “Prince Of Tears”,

With the success of Christine And The Queens, Ash is in high demand in France. Over the last few years he has collaborated with some of the France’s most intriguing cultural icons such as Catherine Ringer and Indochine. Other recent credits for Ash include mixing the Malik Djoudi LP and the Kazy Lambist album both for Cinq7 and both due to be released in 2024.

With a focus on writing over the last few years, Ash has had recent cuts with Valencia Grace, Tei Shi and recent sessions with Sigrid, Orla Garten, Lucia & The Best Boys and Haim.

Recent highlights for Ash has been the 2023 release of the stunning electro pop record by Lucia & the Best Boys ‘Burning Castles’ which he produced and mixed. Early in 2024 saw the release of the beautiful Valencia Grace’s EP ‘Roses’ which Ash produced and mixed. Ash is currently producing and mixing the She Drew The Gun record for Submarine Cat due for release in 2024.
