EP04 - Laura Bettinson - "The Producer As Editor"

This week to talk to Laura Bettinson about how she’s moved from being a one woman pop-powerhouse in Femme, to a producer, and editor, of cutting edge dance music. We hear how she dealt with working with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich in one of her first ever studio sessions, and how a life changing trip to Mexico lit a touch paper under her creativity that led to her stripping away her process to its bare bones, with massive success. We also get the inside track on how to make quality Chinese cuisine. Click here for a playlist of Laura’s work The Process of Production is presented by Lawrence Diamond and Bob Matthews. Lawrence cut his teeth playing and writing in Indie bands before finding international success and touring the world with his band CITIZENS! During that time he worked with a host of revered producers including Liam Howe, Mark Ralph and Alex Kapranos. Since the band ended in 2016 he’s been using that experience to help other artists develop their careers as a writer and producer while continuing to release his own music under various different guises. Bob learned his trade as the producer and multi-instrumentalist in Electronic Pop duo Alpines, whose career spans 3 albums, releases on major and indie record labels, shows with Florence + The Machine, The xx, Emeli Sandé, and a top 20 hit 'Tidal Wave' in collaboration with Sub Focus. In recent years he has turned his focus to producing other acts and has a studio in Chiswick in West London.
