James Rand is a mixing engineer and music producer from the UK who is now based in Sitges, Barcelona. Having grown up in Liverpool he became a key part of the city’s club scene as a resident DJ at Chibuku, before going to study audio engineering at SAE. After graduating, he moved to London where he began engineering records for emerging electronic artists such as Sega Bodega and Beatrice Dillon.
James cofounded production duo God Colony in 2015, who have collaborated with artists such as Flohio, Kojey Radical and Mykki Blanco. Their track "Loss Is Not Infinite" (with Liverpool writer, Roy) received national press and was turned into a book in collaboration with the British Culture Archive. They also remixed Fever Ray, produced a film soundtrack with Bobby Gillespie and are currently working on a mixtape series with famed documentarian, Adam Curtis.
In partnership with Yasmina Dexter, James has engineered the runway soundtracks for numerous luxury fashion houses including Gucci, Fendi and Ferragamo. His vast knowledge of music and technical ability in the studio has led to him becoming a go-to mixing engineer for artists across the world.
