House music and EDM producer

Hey, I'm Stu also know as On borrowed time. I've been making music for over 10 years from House music, EDM and UK Garage. Every time I'm in the studio I feel I'm where I belong lost in the sounds and samples on my Computer. I mainly work in a studio in Greenwich near London as well as at my studio on the same road that Mick Jagger grew up, in Dartford. I love teaching people how to produce music and have in the past given my time away to teach overs. I can help you place your first sound down to mixing and selling your music when you are ready. Most people think you need to play an instrument, you don't and I don't and I have made hundreds if not thousands of tracks this way.

Services - Hire me

Check out my music production lessons accessible to everyone as they are completed through Skype. I can teach you the basics and you don't need to know how to play a musical instrument, if you feel you are at a more advanced stage then we go over the more advanced things like sidechaining and Automation.

Useful websites for producers

FL Studio

DAW - Music production software

This software is great to make EDM and house music, you may have heard of other software such a Cubase but in my opinion, Cubase and other software are more for recording. Power users included Avicii, Martin Garrix, Afrojack, Bass Jackers and many more.
