Hailing from Merseyside, Guy’s love of music started at an early age, fuelled by his grandparents musical heritage and siblings record collections. He played guitar in various bands in and around New Brighton and Liverpool during the 80’s and 90’s, falling in love with Indie guitar music. His love of playing was soon superseded by the actual recording of the bands he was in and his time at The University Of Manchester studying Geology happened to coincide with the vibrant Madchester scene, re-igniting his love of music.A move to Guildford to do a Diploma in Recording at The University of Surrey resulted in a placement at Abbey Road Studios in 1995, where he remained for 10 years, working with many great artists, engineers and producers. This experience gave him the confidence to go freelance in 2005 and set up his own room in North London in 2010.
Recent credits include the Kylie Minogue albums Tension including the song Padam Padam (which earned him a Grammy), Turin Brakes, the Score for Los Frikis, Lady Blackbird for Black Acid Soul, Rita Ora and The Divine Comedy.

Music producer and EastWest founder Doug Rogers is the recipient of many industry awards, including "Recording Engineer of the Year". The Art of Digital Music named him one of "56 Visionary Artists and Insiders".
In 1988 he founded EastWest, a sampled instruments library who have to date received over 120 international industry awards. The early releases were co-produced with Bob Clearmountain and in 1991, Rogers released the first collection to include MIDI driven drum loops. The first multi-velocity sampled piano collection, Ultimate Piano Collection, was released in 1995, followed by GigaSampler in 1997, a collaboration with Nemesys that pioneered the use of streaming from hard drives.
In 2003 he co-produced with Nick Phoenix the first surround sound virtual orchestra, Symphonic Orchestra, engineered by 11-time Grammy nominated classical recording engineer Keith Johnson, and recorded in a state of the art concert hall and followed that release with Symphonic Choirs. This and its predecessor, Voices of the Apocalypse, were the first music software products to enable users to type in words for the choirs to sing. This was followed in 2007 with EastWest/Quantum Leap Pianos, that was also produced in surround sound.
In 2005 Rogers established a software development division for EastWest and released the first 64-bit virtual instruments that became the new standard. More recent releases have featured top engineers and co-producers, including Shawn Murphy for the Hollywood Orchestra series, David Fridmann for The Dark Side and Fab Four with Beatle's engineer Ken Scott.

Peter Wade’s interest in/obsession with valve amplifiers and the valve sound formed in his teens, playing in a host of local bands. His first proper job was repairing band equipment for a musical instrument importer and he then became a partner in “Everbimes,” importers of Randall amplification and the original and sole importer of Leo Fender’s G&L guitars.Moving into the computer industry, he worked on “DEC” Mainframe Computers, large company Intranets and Operating Systems. He gained a Masters degree in Interactive Multimedia Production from Huddersfield University in 2000.
Peter then worked as AMS Neve’s London Engineer with clients including Abbey Road, Air, Pinewood and the BBC. He has now moved full circle, from cutting edge network and computer technology back to valve equipment. He runs his own business in West Yorkshire, UK “Revalver,” specialising in repairs and modifications to valve guitar amplifiers.
