Danton Supple – Record Producer Video Feature
George Shilling visited Danton Supple with the camera crew on a sunny day in August 2011 to find out how he has got on since our last feature with him over five years ago. In that time Danton has gone on to produce some mega massive smash hit albums for artists such as Cold Play and we think that this is proof that being featured here on RecordProduction.com is good for business

Danton continues to build upon the success of his production and mix work with COLDPLAY and has recently set up his own mix room in the Battery Building where he has been mixing albums for SOULSAVERS, album tracks for IAN BROWN’s finest album to date ‘My Way’ and NATALIE IMBRUGLIAs latest long player. Danton also mixed AMY MACDONALD’s second album ‘A Curious Thing’ (A-listed at BBC Radio 2) as well as producing a solo album for Fightstar frontman, CHARLIE SIMPSON and an album by new artist THE GADSENS.
Depeche Mode are just about ready to record their 12th album, says frontman Dave Gahan. The record will be produced by Ben Hillier, but Gahan says Depeche Mode co-founder Martin Gore will step up with more production responsibilities than on previous LPs. “We’ve got about 20 songs demoed and we’re going to begin recording at the end of next month,” he recently told Rolling Stone. “It’s a very different process from what it used to be. You’ve got to put interesting people around you, you’ve got to work with people who are gonna inspire you to take the songs you’ve written into a completely different direction, because there’s nothing more boring than going to the studio and predictably knowing what is going to happen.”
ULTRASOUND – PLAY FOR TODAY – THE NEW ALBUM (RELEASE DATE TBC)
|
After making solo music for over a decade, Montana’s David Boone is launching a new band, Dawns. Fittingly, Dawns‘ song “Evidence and Answers” sounds like the moment when you finally reach the ocean, just in time to catch the new rising sun after a long, unforgettable journey with the one[s] you love. With acoustic guitar, lush string arrangements, and uplifting melodies, it brings to mind an American Coldplay, which makes sense since producer Danton Supple has also collaborated with them. Featuring a crescendo that could make a snowman melt, the song makes for a great mini-break when you need something that’ll warm your heart. Dawns‘ self-titled EP is set for release on June 20, but you can grab a free download right now below or by checking out his Website Facebook and Twitter.
You Me At Six write new song for Thorpe Park rollercoaster ‘The Swarm’

You Me At Six have revealed that they will be releasing a new track later this month and that the song, which is titled ‘The Swarm’, has been written as the soundtrack to a new Thorpe Park rollercoaster, also called The Swarm.
The band, who released their third album ‘Sinners Never Sleep’ in October last year, will release the track on March 18 via iTunes. You can see the trailer for ‘The Swarm’ by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking.
Speaking to NME about how the track came to be written, guitarist Max Helyer said that representatives from the theme park had approached the band and that they were immediately “over the moon” about the idea.
Asked how ‘The Swarm’ came about, he said: “The people from Thorpe Park approached us and asked us if we’d like to do it. We were all over the moon about it because we’ve all been to Thorpe Park loads of times with our families and friends and we’ve got loads of good memories of being there. We had a meeting and got a brief about the ride and went off and wrote the track.”
Then asked about the ride itself and how the track fitted in with it, Helyer said: “It’s basically about the end of the world and the ride is full of near misses and loads of near hits. It’s Europe’s tallest winged rollercoaster in the world and Thorpe Park told us it was going to be very scary, so we decided we’d rock it up a little bit more, make it a bit more heavier and a bit hairier. It’s a bit like ‘Bite My Tongue’, but without screaming. It’s a massive epic rock song, it’s definitely got aggression, and it’s definitely got edge.”
The band recorded the track with Foo Fighters/Pixies producer Gil Norton and Helyer also revealed that the band had begun working on new material during the sessions for ‘The Swarm’.
He said of this: “We ended up recording it with Gil Norton. We had a really good time writing it and although it’s obviously done for the ride, it still feels like a You Me At Six song. We recorded it in Bath, we had a bit of time before we left for tour so we did it then. We just did the one track, but we jammed out a few potential new ideas for songs. We’re not going to be writing for ages, but we thought we’d take the time to enjoy the benefits of working with Gil.”
