Trafficking in women is the second largest global organized crime today, generating $12 BILLION per year.

There is an estimated 1.39 MILLION VICTIMS of commercial sexual servitude worldwide.

OVER 25% of these victims are trafficked from southern and eastern Europe.

Record Production

Sarah’s 11 track debut album is a Christian album with a difference. Think folk and Electronic music mashed together to create what we call… FOLKONICA!!

Sarah, Dan and Matt Weeks played everything apart from drums played by Ed Carlile. Mixed by Juha Jantti in Helsinki, Finland. Mastered by Svante Forsback at Chartmakers.

In a typical production process the music will evolve from the orignal demo recordings to the final recording. So often particular instruments/performances/sounds of the original demo sounds can’t be replicated but they made the sound so cool. During our time of sculpting the vibe of Sarah’s songs we tried to “record to keep” all and any textures, beats, vocal groups/ideas or extractions that just had that unique irreplaceable vibe!

The Album

weeksweeksweeks™ down at The Old Chapel studios in Chichester for latest Nick & Becky Drake production

Its always an honour to be asked directly by the artist to produce their own music, especially when the songs are cool! And there is no exceptions in the latest set of songs from Nick and Becky Drake. This is now the third album we’ve produced for them… and if anyone thinks they were good… well, this album is going to be much much better!

After a week of pre production up in Barnes we took the production down to The Old Chapel to track the core instrumentation. The three day session was tip top. Highlight for all… microwave scrambled eggs!

It was clear from pre production that the pop vibe was calling for a change up in the players this time round. Jerry Brown (Girls Aloud, Jamelia) on kit. Tom Mills on elec gtr, Willie, Dan and Matt Weeks providing bass, synths, beats and loops etc. The results are already dazzling. We’ll keep you posted on the albums release!!

The First show was watched by over 3 million viewers! Boom!

Dan created over 60 pieces of music for the three shows…. hoodang, prime time fever…

In November 2010 we headed off to Angelic Studios near Banbury. Owned by original Jamiroquai keyboard player Toby Smith. We stayed for four days and the food was unbelievably good!

The crew consisted of Neil Carlile (vocals), Matt Weeks (bass, producer), Ed Carlile (drums, co-producer), Willie Weeks (keys), Connor MacDonald (electric), and Mo Hausler (engineer).

We later added Mark Edwards (piano, hammond), Nicki Rogers (vocals), Julian Ferraretto (violin, viola, chin-cello) and Hannah Monkhouse (cello) and have what’s turning out to be a great second album.

Keep your eyes out for its release in the near future…

weeksweeksweeks™ were delighted to work with Director Jon Richards on these two films. Under the gentle crack of his whip we rustled up a festival of delightful sounds!!!

Here are two clips of the films….

At the end of 2011 Matt Macaulay and Dan Weeks headed in the direction of Finland to seek out mix engineer Juha Jantti at Studio Ilmala. Juha is the weeksweeksweeks™ engineer of choice having mixed around 13 albums for the production team.

Juha’s mad analogue processing set up is fat.

In the terms of “the life of the song”, this was the part where they progress from learning to walk to sprinting! The tunes are sounding stonking, with incredible atmospheres and a truly unique vibe.
