Robin Hunt is a dutch mix engineer, working both in the Sauerland and Berlin.

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 Pop 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. During his studies he used the time to discover the more songwriting based genres. After successfully finishing his studies, Robin moved to Berlin and build 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: "All the years before made clear that mixing was where al my skills came together, but to do this work properly, a good "tool" was needed to work in. This meant building a state of the art, no compromises mix room" This he did in the beautiful Sauerland and was finished mid 2024. He worked with renowned acoustician Jochen Veith (Max Martin / Wisseloord) and PMC loudspeaker manufacturers.
