Welcome studio legend, Dave Bascombe, whose work mixing, engineering and producing some of the greatest British recording artists, has in itself created some incredible talking points and tales. Dave is one of the industry's back room super heroes, who seldom get the applaud from the record buying public.
His work with Tears For Fears on Songs From The Big Chair and with Depeche Mode on Music For The Masses, brought his name to our attention. The list of artists he has worked with is stellar, from Peter Gabriel to The Verve to Erasure.
