Atmos.
As a producer, I've always loved dense arrangements: layers of guitars, synths, percussion, vocals, and so on. This meant that as a mixer, I've had to get good at fitting all of that detail into a stereo mix, without it becoming muddy or important details getting masked. Discovering Dolby Atmos has been a revelation: everything that made a production come alive for me could now have its own place in the immersive space. It feels like magic to me.
I started mixing in Atmos in 2024 with El Moono: The Waking Sun, and in 2025, I received Arts Council funding to develop my practice in the field I'd fallen in love with. Supported by Arts Council England and Dolby UK, I've built up a portfolio of mixes you can hear below.
Atmos adoption is growing fast, but unfortunately along with it, has come a wave of mixes bulk-processed to tick a platform box rather than actually mixed with care for the material. I do this the slow way - sitting with the music, making sure everything earns its place in the space, making sure none of the emotional intent is lost or distorted from the original. My mixes come out spacious, detailed, and full, while keeping the rhythmic punch and power of your stereo master.

Testimonials
“The Atmos mix sounds incredible. As a band who put a lot of thought into subtleties and layers, it’s so satisfying to hear every detail. Sam’s Atmos mix is definitely the truest form of the album.”
- El Moono
“Sam toured with me on sound for many years and it was great to be working with him again on this. I have to admit at the start I was quite sceptical about how Atmos would sound, but I was blown away by the end result. I want to hear more of my music mixed this way. I think this track works really well for it, each string line now has so much more space"
- Poppy Ackroyd
“Working with Sam on Atmos mixes was an absolute blast. He took time to understand my vision and choices as an artist and mixer and used his knowledge of Atmos to expand on it. Bringing the record to live in a whole new realm."
- George Donoghue, Producer & Songwriter for Wrex
