Producer Posts- Nellee Hooper


Decided to detail some of my favourite producers on here and give you a handy playlist to investigate their work.

Nellee Hooper started off working in Bristol's Wild Bunch sound system which spawned Tricky, Massive Attack and Soul II Soul. He produced Club Classics Vol 1, Blue Lines and Protection before taking his sound to other artists.


His dark, trippy, dancey work with Bjork includes Army Of Me, Hyperballad and It's Oh So Quiet. Working under him at that point were Marius De Vries (Kylie/ Rufus Wainwright/ David Gray) and Markus Dravs (Arcade Fire/ Maccabees).

Since then he has taken his club/ dub sensibilities to pop acts like Madonna, All Saints and Gwen Stefani. And if you ask me you really can't fault the production on this....
