London Music Producer: Bring Your Ideas to Life
I’m Julian Chown, a London-based Music Producer, Sound Engineer, and Multi-instrumentalist with over 30 years of . I brought Joules Productions together to provide a creative space where songwriters' ideas can be transformed into professional, release-ready tracks with a personal touch that suits the artist.
I guide every stage of the journey – from vocal tracking to bespoke song arrangement ideas, production and mixing everything together. Whether you are starting with a lyric idea or a nearly finished mix of your own, I provide the creative studio expertise in production and mixing to ensure your music is heard.
30+ Years Experience
Over three decades in the studio, I’ve produced and engineered for hundreds of independent artists, major labels, and international media.
Major Labels & Global Brands
- Major Labels: Production and mixing for artists on Universal, Sony, and Island Records.
- Broadcast & Gaming: Original music and sound design for the BBC, Sony PlayStation, and Microsoft.
- Commercial & Voice: Full audio production and mixing for global brand campaigns.
The Producer's Edge
I don’t just record audio, I help build the tracks. As a multi-instrumentalist, I bring a musician’s ear to every session. Whether it’s a writing session that needs creative direction or a complex mix requiring analogue warmth and "TLC," I provide a high-spec, hybrid environment (featuring Neumann KH310 monitoring) designed for radio-ready results.

Full Collaborative Production & Arrangement
Do you have a demo that needs a polished production? My job is taking core ideas and building radio-ready tracks from the ground up. I provide all the necessary instrumentation, detailed arranging, and vocal guidance - to help define your sound.
Intricate Vocal & Large-Scale Score Arrangements
I specialise in handling large-scale, complex projects requiring full orchestration, multiple vocal parts, and intricate musical arrangements. Whether it's a Pop, Rock, Ballad, Electronic track, new musical, or staged work, I ensure your score is executed with dramatic flair and the highest technical quality, delivered ready for pitching, rehearsal, or full production.
Technical Mixing & Production for Broadcast
Compositions created for the screen require specific technical knowhow. I provide the crucial final steps for scores and themes headed for post-production. I focus on detailed mixing and that meet broadcast loudness standards, ensuring music sits perfectly within the final dialogue and foley/sound design.
In a nutshell, my goal is to help your music sound expressive, dynamic, and complete—no matter the platform.
My Production Philosophy
My approach is built on a deep understanding of music and sound - the kind of professional polish that makes a record feel right. I bring producer know-how and a musical sensitivity to every track.
Ultimately, whether you bring me a quick phone recording or demo, I make sure your music is ready for release across all the major places such as Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, and even Vinyl.
How We Work Together
Working from my music production studio in Battersea, London, I collaborate with artists and bands across pop, rock, electronic, soul, acoustic, and more.
In essence, I offer a flexible, complete development service:
I provide a space where we are immersed in the creative process. My job isn’t to take over; rather, it’s to inspire and improve on the ideas that are already there - to completion.
Inside the Studio
My studio is a relaxed space where creativity comes to life. To get the best sound, I've filled it with the finest analogue and digital creative tools, and recording gear.
For example, I have the warm, inspiring tones of my Fender Rhodes Mk1 and Wurlitzer 200a electric pianos, classic analogue keyboards like an Ensoniq SQ80 and Prophet 6, and the smooth clarity of vintage tube mics like 1950s C12 and U47. I monitor everything precisely through award-winning Neumann KH310 speakers.
This unique setup is the ideal balance of analogue and digital, which is vital for capturing the very best sound of every performance.
It’s not just about the equipment - you’re collaborating with someone who’s both a musician and technician - someone who can help shape ideas quickly, personally, and naturally 🙂 .
Collaborating with Artists
I’ve had the chance to work with artists across every level - from Grammy winners to up and coming talent. My collaborative approach is designed to elevate artists unique sound, no matter the genre or stage of development.
