Jonathan produced and mixed two of the tracks in the top 10 which were Always Be Here at number 3 and Don't Know What To Do at number 9.

Finally!  The debut album from Dane Rumble titled The Experiment is finished.  Thanks to those who helped out at every step of the way including Simon Holloway, Steve Roberts, Vitaly Zolotarev, Patrick Kuhtze, Lawrence Katz, Joe Faris, Philip Kim, Haylee Fisher, Laural and Sharaine Barrett, the cast and crew at Beaver Studios and York Street studios, the crowd who turned up early on a Saturday morning for crowd vocals, and of course Dane Rumble.

It was a pretty big undertaking with little sleep had by all.  For the nerds amongst you the average session track count clocked in around the 200 mark with more than one computer succumbing to the stress.  Who said making pop music was easy?!  We hope you enjoy it!

Co-production, tracking, and editing done for the debut single Told You So from the very talented up and coming band Crescendo Mafia.
