We are proud to present our first video release featuring the gifted indie mix engineer David Wrench! This series revisits the acclaimed single 'Charlemagne' by Blossoms, mixed by Wrench entirely in the box. Taking you through the multi-track mix session, the acid house guru demonstrates the production methods and mixing techniques he infused into this record.
