For Episode 22 of the UNSUNG podcast Dom Dronska (General Manager, Audiomovers) & Matt Soczywko (Head of Marketing, Audiomovers) were joined by music legend Nile Rodgers at Abbey Road Studios in London.
In this very special episode, Audiomovers' Chief Collaborator & Chair of the Advisory Board Nile Rodgers offers an incredible journey through his legendary career. Starting off with his work on Duran Duran's "The Reflex" in 1983 and getting back in the studio with them over 40 years later, he opens up about the challenges of dealing with record label pushback and the impact of the "Disco Sucks" movement, alongside the clever tactics he and Bernard Edwards used to navigate their first record deal. Nile shares his philosophy on collaborating with artists, crafting hit records, and how his experience with small budgets fostered his "one take" recording philosophy in his early days which inspired the writing of certain tracks. He discusses the unconventional method Chic used to break their first hit, "Dance, Dance, Dance," and dives into the technical side of his studio process, discussing his experience with digital and analog recording. He recounts fascinating stories from his diverse discography, including the iconic bassline of "Good Times" and his work on films like "Coming to America" and "Beverly Hills Cop III." The conversation also explores Nile's first experiences with Hip Hop alongside Blondie's Debbie Harry and Chris Stein, growing up in Alphabet City, and his early access to musical education. He also touches on his experiences working with legends like Sister Sledge, Diana Ross on "I'm Coming Out," and Carly Simon on "Why," as well as the story of almost working with Aretha Franklin. Finally, Nile closes on his enduring passion for making music better for others and his commitment to philanthropy through the We Are Family Foundation.➡️ Follow Nile on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nilerodgers➡️ Hear some of Nile’s work - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DZ06evO24hDkk?si=aGNcI_SnRa6eP586ADWF4A➡️ Learn more about Audiomovers - https://audiomovers.com/?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=Content&utm_campaign=UNSUNG_Nile_RodgersTimecode0:00 - 0:34 Intro0:38 - 4:56 Working with Duran Duran and the Story of “The Reflex”4:56 - 6:28 Dealing with Pushback from Record Labels6:28 - 7:57 Staying in Touch with Artists While Moving from Project to Project7:57 - 10:36 The Bassline of “Good Times”10:36 - 11:20 How Working with Small Recording Budgets Made Nile So Efficient11:20 - 14:05 Digital Recording vs. Analog Recording14:05 - 15:25 Does Nile Prefer Recording Analog or Digital?15:25 - 22:27 Nile & Bernard’s First Record Deal22:27 - 23:38 The Impact of the “Disco Sucks” Movement23:38 - 23:53 How Nile Decides Whether He’ll Work with an Artist23:53 - 26:57 (Almost) Working with Aretha Franklin26:57 - 28:52 Wanting to Be a “Self-Contained Band”28:52 - 32:26 How to Get a Hit Record32:26 - 34:32 Working on Commercials to Pay the Rent and Meeting John Landis34:32 - 40:43 Working on “Coming to America” & “Beverly Hills Cop III”40:43 - 42:51 Eddie Murphy Story42:51 - 44:45 “Alphabet City” & the Beginnings of Hip Hop44:45 - 47:17 Nile’s First Experience of “Hip Hop” with Debbie Harry + Chris Stein47:17 - 52:36 Growing Up in Alphabet City + Nile’s Early Access to Musical Education52:36 - 55:44 Working with Sister Sledge55:44 - 58:00 Working on Diana Ross’ Album “Diana” (1980)58:00 - 1:04:00 The Story of “I’m Coming Out”1:04:00 - 1:04:40 Intermission1:04:40 - 1:12:34 The Story of “Why” by Carly Simon1:12:34 - 1:14:32 What Nile Cares About When Working on a Song1:14:52 - 1:15:26 EndUNSUNG is a podcast from Audiomovers.

For Episode 20 of the UNSUNG podcast, Jocelin and Matt were joined by British songwriting & production duo LDN Noise at Abbey Road Studios.
Comprising Greg Bonnick and Hayden Chapman, the two met via a mutual friend, originally producing garage and UK electronic genres popular at the time. After digital downloads started to displace revenue generated from physical sales of vinyl and CDs, Greg's dance music label began to struggle financially. He pivoted out of making niche UK genres like Garage and 2-step and started studying songwriting and looking into producing more commercial music with Hayden.
They had a string of early successes working on music for UK chart-toppers like Cheryl Cole, Sugababes, and Tinie Tempah, while also working on more underground acts/genres like Skepta and Grime.
Then, around 2012, the UK music scene started to run thin on the ground; there weren't many acts to pitch songs for. The boys had landed a big track with Chris Brown that same year but struggled to get much music placed until their songwriter friend Andrew Jackson introduced them to a brand-new genre emerging from South Korea called K-pop. Returning from LA frustrated after a big writing trip, they decided to double down on this brand-new genre and quickly found success in K-pop, finding their broad musical taste and diverse musical ability a perfect fit for the multi-genre twists and turns found in K-pop's DNA.
Today, LDN Noise has written songs and produced music for some of the biggest acts in K-pop and the world, including: Chris Brown, Nick Jonas, Red Velvet, Exo, NCT Dream, NCT 127, Skepta, Enhypen, Twice, and many, many more.
In this episode, the boys discuss how they typically work together, how they met, their early productions, their transition into songwriting, and the commercial evolution of UK Rap in the 2010s, Grime's second wave, the highs and lows of various musical genres, the impact of diverse musical experiences, their success in K-pop, covering its defining features, the potential dark sides of the scene, and the importance of work ethic and talent in the music industry, how they initially got into K-pop, what inspires them when writing in the genre, how they developed the skillset to produce its many diverse styles, their preferred DAW, the different sound characteristics of DAWs, the plugins they regularly use. They wrap up with a quick-fire round, what's next for LDN Noise, and some invaluable advice for aspiring music makers.➡️ Follow LDN Noise on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ldnnoise➡️ Listen to some of LDN Noise's work - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0Gb68yqL6OxyHECuQJJAhr?si=jmZmFSFYSPu2vUJWPfw-4Q➡️ Learn more about Audiomovers - https://audiomovers.com/?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=Content&utm_campaign=UNSUNG_LDN_NoiseUNSUNG is a weekly podcast from Audiomovers that honors the real stories and the truth behind the music that shapes our lives - by music obsessives, for music obsessives.

For Episode 19 of the UNSUNG podcast, MixedByJocelin and Mirek Stiles were joined by Composer, Pianist & Producer Raphaëlle Thibaut at Kensaltown East studios in New York.
Raphaëlle is a composer, pianist & producer recently nominated as a Breakthrough Composer of the Year by the International Film Music Critics Association in 2025.
Enrolled in piano lessons from age 4, she spent the first 15 years of her life studying music, adoring the work of composers such as Ennio Morricone, Jerry Goldsmith, and Francois de Roubaix. After graduating from the Music Conservatory of Lille, France, in 2002, she went on to land a marketing position with Google. She left this role in 2015 after a life-changing experience at Abbey Road Studios, quitting her job the next day to immediately pursue her lifelong passion for music and film scoring.
Raphaëlle's first "I've Arrived" moment came in 2021 when she scored the Emmy Award-winning Disney+/National Geographic nature docuseries "Secrets of the Whales," produced by James Cameron. Since then, she's scored "Sea Lions of the Galapagos" (2025) for Disney+, co-composed "Heart of Invictus" (2023) for Netflix, "Timeless Heroes: Indiana Jones & Harrison Ford" (2023) for Disney+, "Introducing, Selma Blair," 2021 for Discovery+ and "Mama’s Boy" (2022) for HBO, among many, many more.
In this episode, Raphaëlle discusses doing her first session at Abbey Road's Studio 2, visiting Abbey Road for the first time, and making the decision to leave her corporate job at Google to pursue music full-time. She recounts how she met Mirek, her journey learning the ropes of production and composition, and her first "I've Arrived" moment in the industry. The conversation then delves into pitching herself as a composer, the distinctions between writing music for trailers versus film scores, and her transition from one to the other. Raphaëlle also covers composing for advertisements, music libraries, and short films, as well as the challenge of composers being pigeonholed into specific genres. She shares her process for starting musical ideas, how she challenges classical rules, and the importance of defining a unique sonic world. Further topics include writing music for television series, her favorite plugins, how she organizes her sounds, and her outlook for the next five years. The episode concludes with a look back at her childhood fascination with film music.

For Episode 15 of the UNSUNG podcast, Mixed by Jocelin and Matt Soczywko were joined by mixing & mastering engineer & founder of Schwabe Digital Ryan Schwabe at Kensaltown East studios in New York.
As an engineer, Ryan Schwabe has been nominated for 2x GRAMMYs and worked on multiple Gold and Platinum selling records along the way. After Ryan released his first artist project, he received lots of praise on the mixing and mastering of the project and clients began approaching him to help them mix and master their own projects. While building studios and teaching as a professor at Drexel University in Philadelphia, he continued mixing and mastering projects on the side, slowly building relationships with an eclectic network of clients across different genres. Some of those projects began getting acclaim, then in 2021 "Planet Mad" by Baauer that Ryan co-mixed was nominated for a GRAMMY. Ryan's second nomination came in 2023 for mixing and mastering "Adolescence" by BAYNK.
While mixing "Planet Mad" for Baauer, he became frustrated with the lengthy 4-hour-long process of running specific stems through his hardware rack, printing them, then having to re-import them back into the project at the same level. He figured there had to be a quicker, more efficient workaround, and after some homework and a lot of back and forth with a developer, Schwabe Digital's first plugin was born. After receiving praise on Gold Clip from other engineers, Ryan decided to release it and launched Schwabe Digital in June 2023.
In this episode, Ryan discusses building a client base independently, working across different genres as an engineer, being nominated at the GRAMMYs, Ryan’s musical journey: from his beginnings as an artist to building studios/teaching at Drexel University, to becoming a full-time engineer and founding Schwabe Digital. He also covers his approach to mastering, the development of Gold Clip and Schwabe Digital's next plugin, NAMM, and his encyclopedic knowledge of recording technology, OEK sound, Soothe 2, Highfall, delivery standards for streaming and Atmos, Ryan’s take on Atmos, why Ryan started making plugins, his approach to running Schwabe Digital, building and developing Orange clip, what Gold Clip actually is, future plugins from Schwabe Digital, analyzing audio gear to inspire new plugin ideas, Ryan’s goals, mixing with your eyes vs. your ears, casual vs. active listening and Isomorphic Mapping, and the beginner’s mindset.➡️ Follow Ryan on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ryanschwabe_/

For episode 13 of the UNSUNG podcast, Jocelin and Matt Soczywko were joined by Devvon Terrell also known as Help Me Devvon at Kensaltown East studios in New York.
Devvon Terrell is an artist, content creator, and mixing engineer from Brooklyn, New York. He is also one of the hosts of the My Studionerds podcast. He began making music at 17 and decided he would make it his career during a formative experience at college. In his early days as an artist and singer, while peers took traditional routes to promote their music like getting their music to DJs for radio play, Devvon began doubling down on social media instead, releasing a string of viral covers and remixes on his YouTube channel Devvon Terrell. One day he uploaded some educational videos he recorded breaking down the production and mixing techniques in his music to a brand new channel and put it to one side. Months later somebody recognised him in public from those videos and he discovered the channel "Help Me Devvon" had accrued 20k subscribers and tens of thousands of views. He resumed creating content for the Help Me Devvon channels and today the brand has accrued over 35 million views, launched a podcast, and even released a collection of plugins.In this episode, Devvon discusses the podcast strategy for My Studionerds, learning to produce and mix in the no information era, splitting time between Help Me Devvon and Devvon Terrell, Devvon's projects as a singer, his first artist deal, being a graduate in 2008, getting his first studio, On The Radar Radio, UK and US rap, the Help Me Devvon plugins, developing plugins, creating content for Pro Audio companies, speaking candidly about sponsors and their products, what would tempt Devvon away from Pro Tools, asking for the project file instead of stems as an engineer, the role of the mix engineer and more.➡️ Follow Devvon on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/helpmedevvon➡️ Watch the My Studionerds podcast - https://www.youtube.com/@HelpMeDevvon➡️ Listen to some of Devvon's Music - https://open.spotify.com/artist/4WcJL1x8azi1Qkv4jc6fhH?si=eX_MV37tRxa40zcMpfPwSw➡️ Learn more about Audiomovers - https://audiomovers.com/?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=Content&utm_campaign=UNSUNG_HelpMeDevvonTimecode0:00 - 0:47 Intro0:47 - 2:45 Devvon’s launch strategy for the My Studionerds Podcast2:45 - 4:00 Why the episodes run for 30 minutes4:00 - 5:24 Why Devvon promotes other creators in the space5:24 - 8:02 Devvon’s other projects as a singer8:02 - 10:21 Learning to produce and mix in the era of no information10:21 - 12:10 Splitting time between Help Me Devvon & Devvon Terrell12:10 - 14:42 Devvon’s journey into engineering and production14:42 - 15:59 Devvon’s first artist deal15:59 - 16:18 Being a graduate in 2008 (The Global Financial Crisis)16:18 - 17:14 How Devvon got his first studio17:14 - 18:57 Devvon’s involvement with On The Radar Radio18:57 - 20:55 Jamal Edwards20:55 - 22:02 Lord of the Mics22:02 - 22:22 UK Rap getting global recognition22:22 - 23:44 Jocelin’s Grime Clash 23:44 - 30:49 UK and US Rap30:49 - 32:52 Devvon’s plugins32:52 - 34:11 Developing plugins for Windows vs Mac34:11 - 35:14 Being a small independent plugin developer35:14 - 37:01 Design and Language in Devvon’s plugins37:01 - 38:58 Rosetta EQ38:58 - 39:53 The God Particle39:53 - 41:40 Devvon’s approach to product videos41:40 - 44:36 Speaking candidly about sponsors and their products44:36 - 47:14 What would tempt Devvon away from Pro Tools?47:14 - 48:59 Asking for the session as an engineer48:59 - 52:48 The role of the mix engineer52:48 - 1:01:17 Approaches to mixing1:01:17 - 1:02:18 EndUNSUNG is a podcast from Audiomovers.

For episode 12 of the UNSUNG podcast, MixedByJocelin and Matt Soczywko were joined by legendary mastering engineer Ohad Nissim in Los Angeles at Just For The Record Recording Studios.
From trend forecasting tracks for DJs to producing electronic music in Berlin, Ohad's musical journey no doubt had some twists and turns before eventually landing on mastering. At some point, Ohad signed up to SoundBetter and discovered his love for mastering after producing, mixing, and mastering on a variety of projects. After landing a credit with Lil Yachty, word began to spread, and he built a steady base of clients. In an attempt to keep growing his list of clients, he started sending 200 cold emails and DMs a week to engineers and producers. One of those engineers was Teezio, and after meeting in person at NAMM, their professional relationship flourished and they've been working closely ever since. Ohad has mastered some of the biggest records in the world with credits from artists like: FLO, JVKE, Nicki Nicole, Juice WRLD, Gunna, Normani, Ski Mask the Slump God, and many more.
In this episode, Ohad discusses his remote studio setup, his path to becoming a mastering engineer, his unique learning style, relocating to Luxembourg, 'faking it till you make it,' the story behind his first big credit with Lil Yachty, how he met Teezio, the importance of following up with people in the industry, his overall approach to mastering, the dangers of overprocessing, the qualities that define a great mastering engineer, working with US clients from a European timezone, and much, much more.
