MPA Radio 069 - The journey rolls on as we honour the sounds and music that fuel The MPA. This week, we invite you into a space where sound speaks louder than words. Digging through the overlooked, the timeless, and the boundary-pushing, we shine a light on the tracks that stir us, shape us, and connect us. Edition 069 brings a few curveballs, some deep gems, and familiar voices—stitched together into an hour of sonic exploration.

The Music Production Academy (The MPA), is a London-based online Music Production School, that aims to teach and provide innovative, useful production techniques for people working with music and sound. Our process and techniques have been finely tuned over three decades of lived studio experience. 

Learn directly through knowledge gained from Producing, Mixing, Engineering, and Mastering sessions for artists such as, Björk, Massive Attack, Depeche Mode and U2 to name a few. We aim to show you the process you haven’t lived yet, sharing with you what it is like to be in the studio with some of the most talented bands and artists in the world.

Along the way explaining what it is like to be in the room for those moments in musical history, teaching you the techniques used to make those records.

The MPA endeavour to foster creativity through engaging and playful experiences. We combine past influences with modern concepts and possibilities, to allow a place for new ways of working and thinking while allowing original ideas to flourish.
