Joel Nicell Music
Mastering | Mixing | Production | Composition
Hi, I'm Joel!
I am a full stack producer, engineer, and songwriter based just outside London, UK. I also write music under the pseudonym Nohost in my spare time.
I work in a wide variety of genres, from energetic electronic, KPOP, CPOP, to subtle RnB, Soul, and film score.
Over the last 3 years I have worked with a mixture of talented creatives, from the most exciting up and coming UK talent, helping to craft the sound they are looking for, to working with international, major-label releasing talent, providing high quality, and radio ready sound in countries like China, France and Australia.
My goal is to make sure that the client gets exactly what they want out of my service. I provide detailed feedback on my process, as well as suggestions for what the client can do to improve their work, which past clients have found invaluable.
Hear the sound of mastering
Mastering is one of my most common services - it simply consists of applying enhancements to your entire mix. And it a critical step to making your track ready to release into the world.
Mastering can be difficult to fully explain, so instead, take a listen to these demos and hear the sound of mastering in action.
For the full experience, take a listen in headphones to hear the details brought out during mastering. Toggle the switch on the right to turn mastering on and off for each track.

Testimonials
"Joel is an incredible musician in all senses. I’ve sent tracks to him that have come back shining because of his mix and mastering skillset.
When you hear Joel’s work, you’ll soon realise that he is truly masterful at what he does - but if you get to meet him, you’ll discover that he is just as humble and lovely as he is brilliant at his craft!"
Nathan Gunalselvam | Music Producer
“Joel has been a great help with the mixing and mastering of tracks! Has great attention to detail and really focuses on what I want as the artist and tries to match that as best he can!
He takes notes very well and can deliver with a quick turnaround which is super helpful!”
Independent Artist, songwriter
"I collaborated with Joel on my BFI Network short film Barricade. Within a tight post-production schedule Joel was able to deliver and improve upon the compositions I had imagined for the film.
Joel communicated clearly throughout the process and produced three quality tracks that greatly enhanced the emotional impact of our film. I hope we have the opportunity to work together again.”

Who is Nohost?
Nohost is where I express my own creations and strive to showcase my passion for experimental, melodic driven electronic music. My music has been showcased on SiriusXM, featured on blogs such as EARMILK, featured in streaming editorial playlists, and amassed hundreds of thousands of streams.
My music emphasises rich melodic elements with lush and often ambient sound design to create a uniquely emotional impact. The instrumental direction of my work makes it a great candidate for sync placements in dark, ambient and stylized media, for example advertisement in tech or fashion, or otherworldly short films.
