- A GRAMMY AWARDED STUDIO -
"I don’t believe in AI or automated services. I believe in creativity, human interaction and passion for music."
LEO JOSEFSSON / GRAMMY AWARDED PRODUCER
“I’m a producer based in Stockholm, Sweden. I specialize in producing, mixing and mastering electronic pop, dark pop, edm and indie music. My passion for analogue and vintage synths combined with my rack of analogue outboard has become a part of my trademark.”
In his early career (2001) Leo teamed up with Pat Reiniz and produced “Cotton Eye Joe 2003” with Rednex and soundtrack for the movie “Barnyard” (Paramount Pictures). He was awarded with a Grammy (Swedish Grammis) for his work with Nassim Al Fakir in 2023. He also produced the official version of the mega viral phenomenon “Gegagedigedagedago” that made Rednex the worlds most streamed artist in the world in 2024 (!).
Leo was teamed up with Oscar Holter (The Weeknd, Coldplay, Pink, Katy Perry) at Capitol Records/Universal to develop acts like The Pusher, Alex Saidac, Robin Stjernberg. He produced and wrote the underground hit “In My Head” by Tilly & Elliphant (2013).
Leo is a luminary of the Stockholm electronic scene with the bands Unify Separate, Lowe and Statemachine, whose work has been recognised with several Scandinavian Alternative Music Awards, including Best Newcomer, Best Live Act, Best Song and Best Album.

Dangerous Music System
My workflow combines signal chains that use both digital (software) and analog outboard gear. I favor and frequently use plugins from FabFilter, Universal Audio, Softube, Plugin Alliance, iZotope, and SSL, among others.
Hardware is most commonly used during tracking and recording, while plugins and software are particularly useful during the mixing process. I often combine them by inserting analog outboard gear on individual tracks, stems, buses, and the mix or master bus.
D-BOX+/2-BUS+/CONVERT AD+
The Dangerous Compressor
Dangerous Music is known for their high end AD/DA converters and for the most transparent sound. The D-Box+, Convert AD+, 2-Bus+ and the Dangerous Compressor is the backbone and the perfect setup to get the most transparent and pristine sound possible.
SSL Fusion
Fusion is an all-analogue 2U stereo outboard processor created for the modern hybrid studio. Fusion introduces five completely new analogue colouration tools designed to bring the perfect combination of added tonal character, weight and space to your mix bus or stereo stems, with the detail, warmth and finesse that only real analogue circuits can provide.
The SSL sonic legacy is built upon a much-emulated collection of analogue audio processing tools that have featured in generations of studio consoles; pristine mic pre’s, classic Channel EQ & Dynamics, the legendary Stereo Bus Compressor, the Listen Mic Compressor, and the unique SSL summing bus. Fusion takes SSL into a new era with the introduction of a suite of new analogue processing tools that offer exceptional tonal character and versatility.
