Identify what is holding your tracks back and move your music forward with practical, personalised support.
Generic Tutorials Can Only Take You So Far
You can spend hours watching online tutorials, buying plugins, and searching for the missing technique, but that does not always tell you what your tracks need.
If you are stuck in loops, unsure what to fix, or frustrated that your music is not reaching the level you want, personalised guidance can help you cut through the noise.
- Unsure why your tracks do not sound finished
- Struggling with arrangement, mixdown, drums, bass, or sound design
- Overwhelmed by too many tutorials and conflicting advice
- Losing confidence because you cannot clearly hear what needs to change.
Personal Guidance for Your Music
When you are working alone, it can be difficult to know whether your track needs better sounds, stronger arrangement, tighter mix decisions, or simply the confidence to move forward.
With decades of experience writing, producing, mixing and releasing drum & bass music, I will help you identify what is holding your music back and give you clear, practical steps to improve it.
- 5+ years mentoring producers
- 29+ years of experience in drum and bass
- Personal feedback on your own tracks, workflow, and creative process
- Guidance that helps you move through creative and technical blocks
- Support across arrangement, sound design, drums, bass, mixdown, and release preparation
- Students have gone on to finish stronger music and achieve releases on Transference Alpha Sequence, and other trusted labels.
Lee has taught me that when it comes to sound design, it doesn’t always have to be super complicated to get a massive, impactful result. In fact, in most instances, simplicity is often the way forward".

Break the Cycle of Unfinished Music
Without clear outside guidance, it is easy to keep repeating the same cycle
- Overworking ideas
- Losing momentum
- Second-guessing decisions
- Never quite knowing what needs to change.
1-to-1 tuition helps you identify the real issues faster, so you can spend less time guessing and more time making progress.
Turn Feedback Into Real Progress
Each session is designed to give you practical guidance you can apply directly to your music, so you leave with more than ideas — you leave with direction
You will come away with:
- specific improvements for your current tracks
- clearer priorities for your next studio session
- a better understanding of what to fix, develop, or leave alone
- more confidence in your creative and technical choices
- a stronger path towards finishing music you feel proud of.

Testimonials
"I would say the significant improvements I’ve had since working with Lee are sound selection, idea generation and energy management in the arrangement. Lee has a way of explaining things which just seemed to clarify some of the things which had been so elusive to me in the past.
As my confidence has grown over the past year, I’ve felt more and more comfortable in generating bigger and more complex ideas for our sessions to work on together, and that’s due to the atmosphere that Lee creates in our sessions. Feedback is always constructive, delivered with empathy and framed in the most positive way.
Lee has taught me that when it comes to sound design, it doesn’t always have to be super complicated to get a massive/impactful result. In fact, in most instances, simplicity is often the way forward.
I would say that working with Lee has been the most impactful thing I have done to get me to where I wanted to be with my production. I would also say, the best thing you can do to get the most from Lee is to be super honest with him, not only about the music aspects but also when it comes to any mental blockers you might have. Lee has an uncanny ability to understand the points of frustration I have with a project and move the track past them and into a place of creativity and acceleration, which has been something I have seldom experienced in music production."
Simon Huber (Newtype) – Transference Alpa Sequence, Codename RCRDS.
"As a result of Lee's 1-2-1 production sessions, not only have I strengthened my existing technical skills and creative approaches for music production and sound design, I've also learned many new technical skills and creative approaches as well. What I did not anticipate was the full extent to which I would learn from these 1-2-1 sessions.
To see Lee’s approach to music production and sound design is quite remarkable. And establishing a common creative goal with Lee during these 1-2-1 sessions has been invaluable in advancing my understanding of music production, and sound design in subsequent 1-2-1 sessions as well, has not only met but exceeded expectations!”
Jacob Bell (Leisure Science) - Transference Alpha Sequence
"Lee has an approach in his 1-2-1's that will have you making and mixing professional-sounding tunes as quickly as you're willing to learn how to do so. Gritty detail, tailored to your level and an open and honest opinion on your music that will have you climbing up a level in no time at all”.
Governmentfun – Resonance
"Lee's laser focus on sound and sample selection has helped me write tracks that now naturally gel from the start. He has helped me train my ears to identify when an element isn’t sitting right in the mix. I focus so much more now on the finer details in the track that make it sound polished and club-ready.
Sometimes it’s hard to know how to talk to labels, clubs or industry people when you have finished music ready to show them. Lee gave me a lot of soft-skills advice in this area.
Lee can explain complicated music production techniques in a way that is easy to understand. He is easygoing and friendly and has worked with huge names in the drum and bass scene, but is still very approachable which is amazing. I would recommend Lee as a coach and mentor”.
Dan O’Reilly – Suni & Phorte, Omni Music
“Booking Lee for a one to one session online was like leveling up, it was the best upgrade I’ve made for the studio by far. His expertise in mixing and arranging transformed a track I had been working on, making a night and day difference. The wealth of experience and knowledge Lee brings to the table is truly invaluable, he delivers information in a clear and easy to understand manner and makes it easy for me to retain everything he taught me, I can’t recommend his services highly enough”.
Oliver Spink – Static
"I've really enjoyed being part of the Future Engineers Production Sessions group, and the 1-to-1 tuition sessions add another level of personally relevant focus. It's great to get the chance to work on your own tracks with Lee, and get to benefit and learn from that level of experience and expertise. For me personally it's been a great way to learn new tools and techniques, but I'd say there's something for everyone here!"
Phil Bailey – Fortune & Chance, Omni Music, Codename: RCRDS
“When I began as Lee’s student just over a year ago, my grasp of music production was limited, despite my background in breakdancing and years of enjoying music as an Mc. While I had a basic understanding and knew the sounds I liked, Lee's support, patience, and teaching have enabled me to translate the music in my head into reality.
Lee possesses extensive technological knowledge, demonstrating proficiency across a variety of tools and software. As a seasoned musician, he also possesses a discerning ear for music, which has been invaluable in encouraging my progress. Starting out can be challenging, especially in appreciating one's own music, but Lee's patience and willingness to revisit concepts, considering my ADHD, have been transformative. For me, having a teacher who ensures I truly understand each concept is a game changer. With Lee's guidance, my music has flourished into something I'm eager to share, as I continue to grow and learn. Big the funk up Lee !!! And thank you!!”
