We talk to producer Liam Howe about songwriting methods, lyrics, nurturing new artists, seeing the big picture, and producing an album with only 1gb of data available! Liam Howe’s band the Sneaker Pimps broke through in the 90s with their self-produced debut album Becoming X, scoring a hit on both sides of the Atlantic with their track 6 Underground. Having always aspired to be a producer, Liam has helped launch the careers of multiple stars, including Marina and the Diamonds, FKA Twigs, Ellie Goulding, and Lana Del Rey. Not to mention producing the debut album for Lawrence’s first band, Official Secrets Act! The first new music from the Sneaker Pimps in nearly 20 years is out July 9th 2021, it’s the first single from forthcoming album “Squaring The Circle”. 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.
