Brett Shaw 123 on SoundBetter

Producer/mixer helping artists turn ideas into records that compete on streaming platforms. 5.5B+ streams with Foals, Florence + The Machine, Daughter & more. Analogue-focused, hands-on, collaborative and built around getting the best out of your music.

Brett helps artists turn ideas into records that actually compete — whether you're signed, independent, working from a bedroom setup, or starting from an AI sketch. The focus is simple: music that holds its own next to the biggest names in your genre.
A musician first — signed to Mo' Wax Records with his band South in 1998, co-writing the score to Jonathan Glazer's Sexy Beast — Brett still approaches every session from the artist's side of the glass.
Based at 123 Studios in Peckham, credits include UK No.1 albums, a Grammy-winning single and Mercury Prize nominations. Ranked in the top 1% of engineers globally by MusoAI, MFIT accredited — but the goal is always the same: getting the best out of your track.
Also works with home recordings and AI-generated material (Suno, Udio), turning unfinished ideas into finished records. Running tracks through real hardware, tape and live re-recording gives them the movement, detail and human feel that standalone AI or bedroom production can't achieve.
Focused on projects heading towards release — not just demos.

    I selected the "Review" variant and made some edits. Here's the message:

    Brett's instincts are sharp — he knew when to add and when to hold back. He kept the mix simple and natural, which was exactly the right call for my song. The result felt authentic and true to what I had in mind. I'd work with him again without hesitation.

    Excellent mix engineer. Using tape and great analogue gear to take the track to take the recording to the next level. Quick, professional and intuitive. Thank you Brett.

    Brett's portfolio speaks for itself. He was easy to work with and intuitive. He made Olive Tree and Keepers of Antiquity Christian songs into dub step and dance rhythms, which is exactly what I want. I'm thankful he helped me reach a new genre!

    Fantastic experience. Brett got back to me the same day and I had a session booked in no time for a month later (the studio is busy because they are good). Paolo, the engineer I worked with, was a dream. Professional, patient, detailed. I won't soon forget my first studio experience, am so glad it was with 123. Cheers

    It was a pleasure and privilege to work with Brett.

    Absolutely the best studio experience I have ever had.

    We not only achieved a recording which I am extremely proud of, but also Brett's production approach and ethos taught me a number of lessons about what a recording process should try to capture, which has helped me grow as an artist and opened the possibilities in my mind about what 'good' looks like.

    I very much hope to work with Brett again in the near future.

    Easily the most professional and easiest to work with producer we've come across as a band. It was such a great experience and a pleasure to work with Brett at 123studios and we will definitely be back soon! The studio is exceptional and Brett had impeccable time management.

    We have been to a few engineers but since coming to Brett we have found our home. The level he takes our music to is insane, pure quality & captures things we never heard in the mix. One of the best!!

    Brett is the best in the game. If you want the highest quality for your songs, Brett is your guy. His ear for things that would otherwise go unnoticed is also unmatched. Highly recommend working with him! His energy is also very grounding and positive!
