Point Blank prides itself on providing students with the best standard of tuition available. Unlike some other music production colleges, we ensure that all of our tutors have substantial experience of releasing records within the music industry.
All have achieved significant success, either as artists themselves or working alongside others as producers, sound engineers or remixers. Amongst the artists our tutors have worked with are Bjork, Massive Attack, Lou Reed, Quincy Jones, Bob Marley, Groove Armada, and Portishead.
We are excited to announce the latest addition to our staff roster, Ian Sherwin, who boasts credentials that certainly adhere to Point Blank’s high standards. Having worked with Primal Scream, The Rakes, Incognito, Terry Callier, The Veils and Freemasons in the past his latest project was engineering the Mecury-nominated debut album by La Roux. With the forthcoming Stereophonics album lined up too, the demand for Ian’s talents shows no sign of letting up.

Recently we posted about dance music legend and BBC Radio 1 DJ, Pete Tong visiting the Point Blank studios to do some recording and meet some of the students.
Now you can watch the videos of him talking about the Point Blank courses:

To celebrate the release of Baaba Maal's new album 'Television', Point Blank has teamed up with Palm Pictures and Giant Step to find a new, fresh remix of his high-energy track 'International'.
The album is a collaboration with New York’s Brazilian Girls, who helped Baaba blend West African musical traditions with electronic dance music. Your challenge is to keep this spirit of experimentation and fusion alive and create an innovative remix.
The winning entry will be selected by the legend of the world music scene himself and the remix will be released on his official website.
Other prizes include:
1st Place: • $300 • 8 week electronic music production course • Palm Pictures CD/DVD bundle
