Experience turned into practical guidance

Hello my friend, my name is Frédérik Durand, professionally known as SNAILS. I’ve been making music for over 14 years and have played stages around the world, from Red Rocks and Coachella to major festivals across the globe.

This one-on-one EDM music production mentoring program is built for bass music and dubstep producers working in Ableton Live. We can work on production, sound design, mixing, mastering, DJ sets, release strategy, and artist direction.

Bring an idea, an unfinished track, or a full project. We will work directly on what matters most, with practical guidance and honest feedback tailored to your goals.
