Mike Dean has such an impressive credit list that it almost sounds implausible. The Weeknd, Beyoncé, Kanye West, Travis Scott, Madonna, Jay-Z and Christine and the Queens have all called on his services at one time or another, and once you’ve seen him at work/play in the studio with his enviable collection of analogue synths, you’ll understand why.
Ahead of a live solo performance at Los Angeles' Wiltern Theatre on 1 March, Dean invited the Reverb cameras into his fabulous facility and proceeded to put on a show, demonstrating his knowledge and mastery of multiple keyboards and creating a huge instrumental track.
