Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the Music Producer’s Guild Awards Two Thousand Nine.
It was a wonderful inaugural night of back slapping, wooping and merriment for those forgotten geniuses who make Girls Aloud sound like girls aloud, the remixer who helped make the dizziest of all rascals dance wit me and the studio who out cabled and coffee’d the others.
Bernard Butler had an amazing year and was presented his ‘I’m the king of the castle’ award by the adorable Duffy – who really was lovely despite thelondonpaper telling me otherwise on the pages of thebuzz the next day! Calvin Harris was there sporting the most extravagant silver pumps I’ve ever witnessed and picked up his award only to thrust it aloft then trail off backstage to hang with Jack Penate and Brian Eno.
Yes, Brian Eno… the legend who made some of the most delicately evocative sounds ever, did I forget to mention that he was there?! He was and rightly received the award for being blinking brilliant AKA ‘The Joe Meek Award for Innovation in Production’ for his pioneering work in ambient music and his innovative work with sampling whilst also just being as damn cool as a producer can get!
We staggered out of the Café De Paris in the early hours of Friday morning… after enjoying a wonderous affair!
