Spot (producer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SPOT, (born 1951) known by just the one name, was the house producer and engineer for the influential indie/punk record label SST Records. He recorded, mixed, produced or co-produced for most of SST's pivotal acts between 1979 and 1985. He is credited on albums by such notable bands as Black Flag, The Minutemen, Meat Puppets, Hüsker Dü, Saint Vitus, The Descendents, The Misfits, Big Boys and The Dicks. SPOT has also produced several acts outside of SST and started his own label, No Auditions, in 1987. An accomplished musician and multi-instrumentalist, SPOT later retired from producing to concentrate on performing, releasing his own material on No Auditions and, in 2000, on Upland Records (a label owned by former members of The Descendents). He currently lives in Austin, Texas.
