Arrangement · Finishing · Career

Huxley

Huxley has released with everyone from Defected to Hypercolour, remixed Rudimental and Flashmob, and played all over the world. He has spent the last five years mentoring producers, with students going on to official work for the Bob Marley estate and releases on REECORDS, Dumb Safari and Sony. An hour with Huxley is for the track you cannot finish, the arrangement that drags, or the career question you have not been able to ask anyone.

How booking works

Everything happens inside the community, so your coach can see your posts, your feedback-session history and what you are working on before you start.

Step 1

Log in or join

Coaching is open on both Lite and Pro. If you are not a member yet, join from £9.99 and you are in within a minute.

Step 2

Open the 1-on-1 space

Each coach has a post with their calendar. Pick a time that works in your timezone and pay for the hour there.

Step 3

Send your material first

Project file, bounce, demo or questions, a day ahead. The coach listens before the call, so the hour starts at the problem, not at the introduction.
