Thomas ‘Mitch’ Mitchener is a producer & mixer who is carving out a niche as the breakthrough producer for an exciting new generation of British rock bands. With his humble nature & his own studio space he is the epitome of what a modern, young producer should be – accessible to the artist, from a recent musical background and, most importantly, a unique sound.

Mitch has spent the last few years working with a raft of rock and indie bands, including Asylums, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Hello Operator, The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Gallows, and Young Guns.

Mitch produced the recently released Asylums album ‘Alien Human Emotions’ and is currently working with artists including The Futureheads, Strange Bones, The Pearl Harts, Kid Kapichi, Luna Bay and Naked Six. Mitch has also produced the forthcoming album from Hello Operator.

He produced, engineered, mixed and performed as bassist on the acerbic punk thrash of Blossom, the Top 20 debut album by Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes. Mitch also produced the folllow up album ‘Modern Ruin’ which exploded into the charts at Number 7 on its release in January 2017, following three singles which were all named Annie Mac’s ‘Hottest Record In the World’ on Radio 1. Also in 2017 Mitch produced the debut album from hotly tipped band Counterfeit which was released on 17th March and received 4Ks from Kerrang!. Mitch also mixed the debut album from Dead! for BMG which was released January 2018. 

A multi-instrumentalist who plays guitar, bass, keys, sax and drums (among others), his experience brings an understanding of the bands he works with. Mitch knows the concerns and creative desires of his artists because he’s been there himself; his background creates a productive studio vibe, while his touring experience brings an intimate knowledge of band dynamics. He operates primarily from his own recording studio, Broadfields in Watford.

Mitch might have cut his teeth with a raft of hard rock bands, but his music influences also extend to dance, pop and soul, and his work isn’t confined to production. Recently he has remixed cuts by the likes of Minus The Bear and punk supergroup, Isles & Glaciers, and he has worked as a live mixer for MTV, working Queens Of The Stone Age track, Better Living Through Chemistry, for the Soundchain series. In 2015 and 2016, Mitch was asked to help Secret 7” for their project at Somerset House. The set-up was simple: a pop-up studio was positioned in the grounds of London’s historical building where artists were given 15 minutes to record and cut a single which Mitch engineered and mixed in realtime straight to vinyl. When it came to selecting an experienced and creative studio producer, Mitch was the obvious choice to be installed at the controls.
