Show Notes
In our light, fluffy and easily digestible Productionwise Xmas special, James and Graham 'unwrap' (or unpack) their Spotify Wrapped (in Graham's case) and Apple Replay (in James's case). We get a tantalising glimpse into what the two Productionwise enigmas (or enigmae) actually listen to in their own time, how they listen to it, and why they listen to it. There's also some (very) brief discussion of what they've been watching and (gasp!) what they've been reading in 2023.
Up for discussion are Rosalia, Armand Hammer, Yaeji, Lone, James Blake, Screaming Females, NewJeans, Gas, Mitski, RP Boo and quite a bit more.
James and Graham also discuss the marketing decisions of streaming services, the sex appeal of Tom Jones, soundtracking a baby shower, and the untimely deaths of Caroline Aherne and Victoria Wood. Enjoy!
If you've been listening, we really appreciate it, and we'll be back with more producer deep dives in January.

In our series finale, we close the door on the great Tony Visconti's 1980s discography.
After the genre-diversity, sound pioneering, and commercial success, of his 1970s collaborations, Tony Visconti entered a drastically different music decade in the 1980s.
In part 2 of our deep dive into his discography, we see just how far the sound of post-punk pioneer Martin Hannett could go.
Trevor Horn is often called the man who invented the 80s, but the same could be said of Martin Hannett.
In part 2 of our special on the production Discography of the great Nellee Hooper, the collaborations get bigger, as does his gallery of smash pop hits.
