The dynamic and collaborative way that Joel tends to work means that going into a session with him is like starting a journey forming new sonics together and pushing your music into new unthought of ways. His wide eclectic indepth listening means he approaches songs at an angle you may not have acknowledged yet, being creative with genre crossing and his genius engineering/production techniques he's put into practise over his years in the field means he can make anyone sound their best and the output is wholly unique.
