Structured video lessons, useful reference sheets and downloads, taught properly by a platinum certified producer who used to teach physics for a living.
Hard hitting drum & bass rooted in the underground.

The system
Built from real coaching, not templates.
Not another preset pack or remake-the-drop tutorial. After coaching 50+ producers 1-1, I know exactly where tunes get stuck, and this system fixes each one from core principles, in the order that moves your tunes forward.
What you get
Everything included. Nothing held back.
Structured video lessons
10 to 15 minutes each, planned like real lessons with a point, not hour long rambles.
Reference sheets and downloads
Practical reference sheets and any files used in a lesson, ready when they genuinely help you do the work.
Assignments on your own tunes
Every module ends with something to go and do on your own tune, and a short checklist so you can tell it worked.
New modules every month
The full roadmap is included as it drops, in the order that moves your tunes forward.
Built for your phone
Watch in the studio, on the bus, wherever. Everything is designed mobile first.
Private producer community
A private Discord with 200+ producers already in it, and it moves. Feedback Friday, a Q&A thread, and somewhere to ask at 2am.
Monthly live Q&A
A live session every month. Questions go in the thread beforehand, most upvoted first, and every recording goes into the member archive.
Guest sessions
Occasional lessons from other producers on specialist topics, including ones outside my own DAW.
Cancel any time
Ten seconds from your account page. You keep access until the end of the period you have paid for.
The community
You're not doing this on your own.
Producing alone is the single biggest reason people stall. Membership drops you into a Discord that already has 200+ producers in it, which is where the course stops being a set of videos and starts being a room full of people solving the same problems as you.
Every month
Live Q&A
Questions go in a thread that stays open all month. The most upvoted get answered first, live, and every recording stays in the member archive while your membership is active.
Every Friday
Feedback Friday
Post a work in progress and get proper ears on it. One rule, and it is the only rule: give someone else feedback before you post your own.
Any time
Stuck at 2am
Every lesson links straight into the Q&A channel, so a question does not have to wait for the next session. Ask people working through the same module you are.
Ongoing
Tunes, samples and wins
Share what you are making and whatever you have dug up. There is a wins channel too, for when a tune gets signed or a set goes off.
Who's teaching
Pro producer. Qualified teacher. Rare combination.
Platinum certified, 50M+ streams, a decade of releases on Hospital, Shogun, Critical and more. And before any of that, a physics degree and a qualified teaching credential. Most courses show you what to do. I'll show you why it works, so you can do it on your own tunes without me.
If your tunes are nearly there, the right feedback can close that gap much faster. That's what I do.

1-1 coaching has limited space and currently has a waitlist. That's why I built the Academy: the same system, self-paced, for
£39 a month.
Every published lesson, the reference sheets and downloads, the private community and the monthly live Q&A. Every new module is included the day it goes up. Cancel any time from your account page and keep access until the end of the paid period.
Full course launching soon. Start free today, then tick email updates if you want to hear about founding access first.
Questions
What DAW is it taught in?
FL Studio, my own setup, no compromises. Where routing genuinely differs I add short Ableton equivalents, and the sound design and processing lessons are built on cross DAW tools like Serum and ShaperBox.
What level do I need to be?
You should already make tunes. If you can build an 8 bar loop but the tracks never sound finished, signed or loud, this is aimed exactly at you. If you've never opened a DAW, start with the two free lessons anyway and see how it feels.
How much is it?
£39 a month, everything included. Cancelling takes about ten seconds from your account page, and you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for.
Why monthly instead of buy it once?
Because a one-off course is a library. You buy it, watch a chunk, and it never changes. This is the opposite: new modules and guest sessions as they're filmed, a live Q&A every month, Feedback Friday every week, and a community that's actually awake. Finishing tunes takes months of doing it, not a weekend of watching, and that's exactly what this is built for.
How is this different from watching YouTube?
I was a qualified teacher before music went full time. Every module has a stated outcome, something to go and do on your own tune, and a way to check you got it right. You don't just watch me do it, you learn why it works and prove you can do it yourself.
Your next tune could be the one that sounds signed.
The first two lessons are free and you can use them tonight. Founding member pricing lands with the full launch. Tick email updates on the next screen if you want to hear about it first.
Two free lessons. No card. No faff.
