Simon Gogerly is one of the UK’s leading mix engineers with 20 years studio experience and a highly impressive discography. He trained under John Hudson at London’s Mayfair Studios in the late eighties, leaving to go freelance in 1992. In 2006 Simon won a Grammy for his work on U2's How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.
During his four years at Mayfair he worked with a huge number of artists as an assistant and progressed to engineering and mixing on several hits including “Altogether Now” by The Farm and “Missing You” by Soul II Soul (meeting Nellee Hooper in the process – a meeting that would lead to future collaboration). After leaving he started working regularly with producer Stephen Hague. One of his first jobs was recording the New Order album “Republic” at Real World and RAK. This led to him touring with the band through 1993 as programmer.
In the mid nineties his work continued with Stephen and a variety of other producers, thanks to joining the roster of Z Management, such as Sly & Robbie (Maxi Priest, Suggs) and Boilerhouse (Texas, Stereophonics). Z introduced Simon to up and coming British hip-hop producer Syze-Up and the pair worked together on a large number of remixes for the top US hip-hop acts of the time (Missy Elliot, Busta Rhymes, Lil’Kim, Rakim & Mase included) under the name Desert Eagle Discs.
Towards the end of the nineties Simon re-teamed with Nellee Hooper in order to mix projects for Nellee’s label Meanwhile (Headrillaz & Hexdragon). This led to him becoming Nellee’s mix engineer of choice. Their on-going relationship has included work with Gwen Stefani, U2, No Doubt, Andrea Corr & Lamb.
Simon joined the ranks of Stephen Budd Management in 2005 enabling him to spread his wings and develop new areas of his mixing work. There have been collaborations with Steve Lironi (Luan Parle), Rick Nowels (Yusuf Islam) and Tracey Thorn along with additional production work for a whole variety of up and coming artists like King Creosote, Bishi, Chungking, Operator Please, Stone Walters & Huski. When time allows, Simon also works on selected development projects with new, unsigned acts in a production capacity.
