Shuta Shinoda
Multi-Award Winning Producer/Mixer/Engineer
Studios
I operate across a curated network of London’s premier recording environments, primarily RAK Studios and Strongroom. I select each space based on the specific sonic requirements of the project—leveraging legendary rooms for tracking and my private analog suite for experimental overdubs and mixing.As a specialist in analog sound, I prioritise studios with impeccably maintained tape machines to capture the depth and grit that defines my work. My long-standing relationships with these rooms allow me to secure preferred rates and flexible workflows, ensuring world-class production is accessible for every project I lead.

Interviews
“I often choose to go against current trends. By aiming to be unique, I ensure that there are no substitutes for my sound”
"Don’t sacrifice your friendships, or family or partner for a work. Otherwise you’ll be living on your own with a cat in the middle of nowhere!"
“I don’t want to record anything which sounds too normal, clean or pristine. Everyone else can do that. I like my records to sound dirtier and different.”
