In the past few years, Matt Karmil has made plenty of great records under his own name, but he’s actually been helping other people make records for even longer. A British-born artist whose initial forays into music and production were fueled by extended bouts of illness that kept him largely isolated from his peers, he eventually found himself working in recording studios as a producer, mixer and session player. Much of Karmil’s adult life has been spent in transit, as he’s logged time in cities like London, Paris, Gothenburg, Stockholm, Berlin and Cologne, quietly making music of his own at each stop. It was in Cologne where he connected with artists like Jens Uwe Beyer and Ada, who heard some of his music and signed him up for releases on their labels (PNN and International Records Recordings, respectively).
