Drum & Bass Production Tutoring: 1-on-1 Mentorship for D&B

Be honest: how many unfinished "Project_Final_v3" files are sitting in your folder right now?

We've been there. Elliot & I struggled with music production for 3-4 years before things started to click. I studied music production at SAE Institute & Elliot studied in the UK too. It wasn't really until we began to learn off actual producers that music production started to make sense.

I worked full time for 5 out the 6 years I've been producing for & finding the time to watch YouTube tutorials was scarce & it wasn't really an effective way to spend my dedicated production time. Especially if the tutorial was crap.

Most producers spend years, literal years, messing around on YouTube trying to piece together a professional sound from 10-minute tutorials. But YouTube can't listen to your kick and tell you why it's clashing with your sub, or tell you why your reese bass doesn't carry the same weight as your reference track.

If you want to stop guessing and start releasing, you need a second pair of expert ears. That’s why we built the tutoring and mentorship programs at Next Level Production.

Meet Your Mentors

We live and breathe Drum & Bass & heavy bass music. We’ve brought together a team of active, touring producers to help you bridge the gap between bedroom producer and professional artist.

• Max (BRIGSY): The go-to for beginner to intermediate producers. Max specialises in sound design, finishing tracks, mixing & basic mastering and getting your vocal production tight.

• George (SUUNE): Like Max, George focuses on those core pillars. If you’re struggling to take a track from a basic idea to a polished, mixed, and mastered reality, George will show you the exact workflow to get it done.

• Elliot (inmotion): For the intermediate to advanced producers looking for those "top 1%" gains. Elliot dives deep into advanced sound design, drum synthesis, and high-end mixing and mastering.

The NLP Mentorship Program: For Those Who Are Dead Serious

If you’re tired of making "some progress" and you’re ready to see a massive transformation in your sound, our Tailored Mentorship is the answer. This is how I personally made more progress in 3 months than in the previous 3 years combined.

The Starter Tier ($299/mo) This is the perfect entry point for producers who want consistency. You get:

• Monthly 1-on-1 Tutoring: Dedicated time to smash through your roadblocks.

• Fortnightly Personalised Track Feedback: Send us your WIPs, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s missing.

• Weekly Production Workshops: Join the crew and learn new techniques every single week.

• Private Discord Access: Join a community of producers who are all pushing for the same goal.

Stop Producing by Yourself

The "lone wolf" approach is the slowest way to grow. Every top producer you admire had a mentor, a circle, or a team helping them refine their craft.

Whether you need a one-off session to fix a muddy mix-down or a long-term mentorship to finally get your music signed to your dream label, we’ve got you.
