Robin Hunt is a mixer and producer from the Netherlands, working both in Berlin as in Sauerland.
His decision to pursue a career in music was unexpected. ‘I didn’t grow up in a particular musical family, but I realised that making music was the only craft in which I could channel everything I wanted. I decided to give it a go, and I auditioned successfully at the the Dutch Minerva Academy for Popular Culture’. During his studies, Robin worked as an intern with Dutch hardcore and gabber legend DJ Promo: ‘I learned a lot that year, especially about minimalism in production and sound-design. Electronic music made him understand the undeniable energy the genre has. During his studies he used the time to discover the more songwriting based genres. After successfully finishing his studies, Robin decided to make a move, moving to Berlin and building a new studio in an old casting-factory from GDR times.
Within half a year, Robin found himself working on Thomas Azier’ critically acclaimed debut album ‘Hylas’. The succes of the album in France brought new opportunities. Eager to for new experiences, Robin moved to Paris to work as an ‘engineering producer’ for the freshly founded Universal Africa department in studio Ferber, owned by French legendary producer and mixing-engineer Renaud Letang (Feist, Jean-Michel Jarre, Manu Chao). ‘I spent three years in Paris, doing sessions with French and African pop stars during the day and hang out in Renaud’s studio in the evening. I saw him mix and produce incredible records. I just soaked everything up, as I realised it was a once in a lifetime opportunity’.
After three years in Paris, Robin decided to move back to Berlin in 2017: ‘I founded a production and artist development team called Atlas with two longtime friends (Isa Azier & Ferran Huijsmans), combining our experience of songwriting, A&R, studio and live-music.
Around 2022 he realised that it was time for a new challenge: The decision to build a new state of the art mix room in the beautiful Sauerland. For this he worked with renowned acoustician Jochen Veith (Max Martin / Wisseloord) and PMC loudspeaker manufacturers.
A small selection of artists Robin works or has worked with: Faber, Aloe Blacc, Son Mieux, Niles Rodger, Anouk, Fireboy DML, Ronnie Flex, Roxy Dekker, Stevie Bill, The Indien, Blaudzun, Remme, Mdou Moctar, Woodkid, Cracker Mallo (Tiwa Savage), Bonaparte, Gary Go, Michael Patrick Kelly.
