MPG Awards 2025: Full winners list

The Music Producers Guild has revealed the winners of the MGP Awards 2025 at a sold-out celebration at The Troxy in East London. The night honoured the producers, engineers and studios who are shaping the future of recorded music.

Topping the evening’s accolades was A. G. Cook, who was named Producer of the Year, recognised for his work at the frontier of electronic pop music with the likes of Charlie XCX.

Fellow Dux Content member, Danny L Harle was awarded Writer-Producer of the Year.

It was a big year for music studios, the MPG recently introduced two new categories, recognising the importance of different types of recording environments.

The winners of these inaugural awards were Guy Chambers’ Sleeper Sounds, named Small Commercial Studio of the Year, and Paul Epworth’s The Church Studios, which took home the title of Large Commercial Studio of the Year. These awards underscore how crucial studios are to the ecosystem of the music industry.

Celebrating fresh talent on the rise was Isabel Gracefield who won Breakthrough Producer Of The Year, and Animesh Raval who took home Breakthrough Engineer Of The Year - presented by the previously acclaimed honouree Fraser T Smith.

Woody Cook presented his father, Norman Cook (Fatboy Slim), with the Outstanding Contribution to UK Music Award.

Paul Epworth received the MPG Icon Award, presented by artist and collaborator Baxter Dury, and MNEK was awarded Vocal Producer Of The Year.

Throughout the night, music industry stars hit out at the government’s plans to allow big tech firms to use their creative content to train their AI models for free.

Stars such as Peter Gabriel and Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim held placards backing the Make It Fair: Don’t Let AI Steal Our Music campaign which the MPG amended to include the slogan ‘Just Ask Us First.’

The MPG are demanding music creators be given a voice on the matter rather than just record labels.

Catherine Marks, Executive Director of the MPG, commented: “The 2025 MPG Awards at The Troxy was a powerful reminder of the incredible talent and dedication that drives our industry at a pivotal time. From trailblazers to future stars, the night was a celebration of the people and studios behind the sound – those who continue to shape the future of music.”
