About Fergus
Hi, I'm Fergus Sweetland, a passionate music producer, DJ, and lover of all music based in London, with a special love for techno. My work have been released on Hayes Collective and are regularly played in top clubs worldwide by renowned artists.
Throughout my career, I’ve honed my skills with some of the best producers in the industry, and now, I'm eager to share my knowledge with you. I’m dedicated to helping aspiring artists and producers grow. The relationships I build with my students are incredibly rewarding, and I believe that both tutor and student have much to learn from each other.
I’m actively producing music in my studio and have performed DJ sets at clubs and festivals in London, Switzerland, Portugal, Japan, Ireland, and Australia. I was also part of a live electronic music duo called the Back Burners, where we used a hardware-only setup to create music on the spot.
I’ve studied music production under experts like Heiko Laux and Davide Carbone and completed a production masterclass at the School of Synthesis. I'm mostly self taught with over 14 years of experience producing music.
I look forward to having lessons with you!

I take a tailored approach to my lessons. I want to understand what you want to achieve so I can create lesson plans specifically for you.
I teach not only the technicals of production and sound design, but also the psychology. I want to train students to develop critical listening skills as well as pragmatic thinking so students can decide what is best for their music. Producing music can be a challenging mental process, so I like to break down these barriers so students can enjoy total creative freedom and feel confident in their ability to create art. Sound design is the hallmark of my music, so I like to soak in this topic extensively.
I encourage a conversational approach so that students can ask as many questions as possible. Knowledge is to be shared, and I want to share what I know with you.
It’s important to bring influences outside of techno and electronic music in, which is why I’m keen to understand my students influences and drive them into their music.
I've studied production at the School of Synthesis and have tutored since 2021. However, I have been producing for over 14 years. I have a professional background in sales and customer service. This means I’m trained to listen and understand my students points of view.
Lessons are for any skill level and age, and are at least two hours long. I like to have a quick assessment before lessons which is free of charge.

Fergus is a super kind person, who can teach every producer something, no matter how long she/he has been producing. You can learn a lot from his special techniques, his style and his mixing skills. But his releases speak for themselves. I can only recommend everyone to consider him as a „sensei“!
