About Me

I produce music for a living... its a nice way to earn my crust.
Science taught me a few things. Mainly thats it’s actually ok to make it up as you go along. Change the rules. Fuck the rules. Make the shit fit your model. I have forgotten all I learnt at school. My memory is arse. I am constantly amazed by new experiences til I’m told I’ve done it before. I fall asleep during films. I really still don’t know how Scarface ends. Are you sure you want to work with me?
Browse the discography section on my website garethparton.co.uk to see how I spend my time.
Contact my manager Jill at Big Life if you’d like my showreel.
Recent and current projects include: The Go! Team, Foals, Pete And The Pirates, Asian Dub Foundation, Yelps, Flamboyant Bella, The Pipettes, The Victorian English Gentlemen, Neils Children, Ladyfuzz, Chow Chow, The Rocks, Strange Idols, Lowgold and The Video Nasties.
In the distant past I’ve also engineered/mixed for The Beta Band, Piano Magic, The Cribs, ,Ikara Colt, Mojave 3, Mid-state Orange and the splendid Das Pop.
