First ever producers awards tonight
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 12 February 2009
It is the first ever Music Producers’ Guild Awards in London tonight, which is rather exciting. This new awards bash is designed to celebrate those all too often unsung heroes of the record industry, music producers, and among the awards to be presented are gongs for best engineer, mix engineer and mastering engineer, plus prizes for the best single, album and live release from a production point of view.
The overall Producer Of The Year prize doubles up as a BRIT Award, meaning the recipient of that gong will not only get the adulation of the music production community tonight, but will also get a big cheer from the wider record industry at the BRIT Awards next Wednesday – Bernard Butler, Brian Eno and Steve Mac are all up for that award.
But we here at CMU are most excited about the Best Remixer category, not least because we are sponsoring it. CMU has been a champion of the remix community for years, of course, most notably through our partnership with the king of the remix, Xfm’s Eddy Temple-Morris, creator and presenter of The Remix show.
Every week CMU and Eddy team up to publish the Remix Update, a weekly guide to the world of the remix, finding and tipping the best indie remixes and quality dance tunes, and focusing in on all that is good in the world of the remixer. All of which means it was the Best Remixer category that seemed most logical for CMU to support at the first ever MPG Awards.
The awards kick off at 7pm at London’s Café de Paris this evening. I think you might be able to get yourself a last minute ticket to the bash at www.mpgawards.co.uk/tickets.html
