Mikko has worked with some exceptional talent and learnt from the best whilst engineering and working with Nigel Godrich. 2021 brought two brilliant albums that Mikko produced himself. He collaborated with other producer Gianluca Buccelleti and songwriter Jack on Colouring’s Wake. Whilst Yesterday Park was recorded at his Hackney Road studios. Rough Trade said of ISLAND’s album that working with Mikko introduced ‘new textures, instrumentation and recording techniques allowed the band to better create that reflective feeling they were aiming for.’ That’s exactly what Mikko can do to a record, help bring out what the band are reaching for. Leaving the ego behind, and focusing on using his experience and knowledge to find that sound that he can get from being engaged with the writers and artists. Quip magazine also say ‘Yesterday Park was finished by an outside producer Mikko Gordon, which allowed the band to experiment with more complex production, introducing new textures techniques.’
