Testimonials
"I’ve admired Lee Batchelor’s music production for many years now, I even signed some of his Future Engineers tracks to my 720 Degrees label. Lee is always at the cutting edge of music creation, with the highest level of sound design and production values out there. The sessions are a phenomenal way for any artist, new or experienced, to up their game and reach new levels with their music production."

"I’ve absolutely loved the Future Engineers Production Sessions. I’ve picked up a lot of techniques from them which I’ve incorporated into my recent productions: workflow, ambience tricks, controlling the dynamics of ambience, progression tricks such as evolving baselines and many more. The open group for discussion is great too, highly recommended!"
Andy James (Coda) – Charge Recordings, 31 Recordings, Natty Dub Recordings
"I’ve been making music for many years but participating in the Future Engineers Production Sessions has helped take my production skills to a whole new level, making me feel more confident about putting into practice the knowledge that I already had. I come away from each friendly and engaging session with renewed inspiration to create".
Graham Fisken (Lucida) – Timeless Recordings, Violet Nights Recordings
"I have learned more from Lee in the first few sessions than I have in the previous two decades. The group itself is extremely welcoming and it’s a fantastic environment to learn. You also have access to the Future Engineers Discord to ask for help and advice, track feedback, and tips and tricks".
Dan Hicks (Azimuth) – Atmospheals, SenZeru, Okbron
"Lee's production sessions have provided a fun and inspiring environment in which I've been able to query, scrutinise and grasp specific areas of contemporary music production I previously found challenging. The process of unpacking, demystifying, and deliberating approaches to topics such as gain staging, referencing, and mix-bus processing within the context of a commercial release in the making, has been incredibly worthwhile and pertinent to my own work regardless of genre."
Patrick Collins – Media Composer
I heard about Lee's production sessions after he already had a group of people and had been working on the first track together with them. It's a no-brainer for me, looking back if I knew earlier I would have joined from the start. I have personally never had a shortage of ideas for my tracks but I heavily struggled with the rest of the production process, mixdown, making your track sound good, and preparing it for release. I feel like I have learned tons in the past year, and my tracks definitely sound better thanks to all knowledge that Lee has transferred to us".
Robert Kondrat (Woken Balance) - Omni Music, Metius Music
“The way production techniques are explained and demonstrated is very well done and helpful. I’ve benefited greatly from the feedback provided by the group on my own productions.
Al Wilson (Trident) - Omni Music, Code Name: RCRDS
"The production sessions are live, real-time meetings. So not only do I have a chance to learn from Lee's comprehensive music production knowledge and experience that he shares during the production sessions, but I also have the opportunity to do so *interactively*. This means that I have a chance to participate, ask questions, and learn about music production in an incredibly meaningful way!".
Jacob Bell - Production Sessions member
"The sessions have helped cement my core skills, building a foundation for better-sounding mixes. The group is an awesome bunch of like-minded individuals, sharing their knowledge, growth, and passion for the music we all love".
Den Donovan - Production Sessions member
“The group has been a comforting experience on many levels. A mix of cheeky banter, stories from the golden era, connection with a group of people with similar passions, and incredible production talents to be inspired by. I’ve learned so much about mixing, layering of sounds, effects, sample matching, and the challenges of refining a track all the way from initial conception to public release. I feel like I’m building strong foundations for a whole range of music production beyond drum and bass”.
Jason Mesut - Production Sessions member
“Future Engineers wrote some of the most unique songs in the early days of drum and bass that inspired me from a young age. I’ve really enjoyed getting an insight into their workflow and sound creation in these sessions, along with anecdotes about the earlier days of production. I’ve really enjoyed getting an insight into the Future Engineers workflow”.
Dan O’Reilly - Production Sessions member
"Being a part of the group has encouraged me to work on my production skills on a regular basis and contribute my sounds to tracks of a high standard, ready for release. The monthly sessions are engaging and the group members are always friendly and supportive of one another. I highly recommend the Production Sessions to anyone looking to learn more about creating music or developing their existing skills”.
Daniel Dwyer - Production Sessions member
"Since joining the group, I have learned so much from seeing and discussing the end-to-end process of creating a modern-day, professional drum and bass track. I've been very impressed by Lee's depth of knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to explain the occasionally complex, technical areas of music production in a clear and concise way. It also helps that Lee is very personable and patient!"
Wayne Joseph - Production Sessions member
"The Productions Sessions group support has been invaluable in getting me back up to speed. The members are friendly and willing to help and share on a personal level. It's a great environment from the first session, it just felt comfortable".
