“Max’s ears, musical experience and attention to detail have become indispensable."

Simon Skevington - Ex-General Manager (Ninja Tune)

About

Max has been a music professional for over 30 years, first as a performer and session musician, then as a writer and artist forming his own label, MAP Records, in the mid ’90s.


In 2006, Max decided to put his expertise to use and help others, so he started 1Sonic. Whilst he continues to record and tour as an artist, the studio has amassed an impressive mixing and mastering discography.


From mastering work on Mercury nominated ‘Everybody Down’ by Kae Tempest, to arrangements on Lily Allen's grammy nominated,'Alright Still' to the 2014 Victoires de la Musique's Best World Music Album nominee ‘Lovely Difficult' by Mayra Andrade. Max's expertise and professionalism cannot be understated. For more information on Max, see his personal website www.maxgilkes.com

 

“Your project will be better for having Max Gilkes at 1Sonic a part of it.”

Andrew Phillips - Emmy Winning Composer / Artist
