[4] Dan Grech started working at RAK Studios in St John's Wood, London as an assistant recording engineer.

[16] In 2013, Grech produced Long Way Down, the debut record for Tom Odell, winner of the BRITs Critics Choice Award.

He contributed additional production and mixing for the radio single and worked with the NHS choir on the live performance at the Brit Awards.

Grech condensed individual instrument parts such as bass, guitar, synth, and piano into single stereo tracks.

Despite the simplified layout, the session included hundreds of plug-ins, heavily concentrated on the Akai MPC loop, bass, guitar, and vocal tracks.

Trained at RAK studios in London and having worked with producer Nigel Godrich, Grech initially joined the project to assist with recording live instruments but eventually took on a larger role, including mixing.

For the Scissor Sisters' first album, the goal was to build upon the existing electronic essence by integrating a richer depth and warmth by adding live instruments.

However, the decision to retain the entire project in Apple's Logic Pro, a software they used for ongoing writing and recording, presented a significant challenge.

Grech-Marguerat would have preferred transferring the programming to Pro Tools, a platform he found more user-friendly for mixing and audio editing.

Despite initial difficulties, the setup eventually proved effective, allowing for a fruitful collaboration with band member Scott Hoffman.
