John King (producer)

John King (producer)

John King, also known as "King Gizmo", is a music producer and one-half of the Los Angeles-based duo the Dust Brothers. As the Dust Brothers, King and Michael "E.Z. Mike" Simpson were noted for their dense sample-based music, notably on the Beastie Boys' 1989 album "Paul's Boutique", and later in 1996 with Beck's "Odelay".

King teamed with Medeski Martin & Wood to create their 2004 album "End of the World Party (Just in Case)". King also worked with Garbage for their 2005 album, "Bleed Like Me"; his production work on "Bad Boyfriend" would make the album, but a a change in direction left "Space Can Come Through Anyone" and "It's All Over But The Crying" unreleased.

He has also worked with Tenacious D. The Dust Brothers produced their 2002 release, "D Fun Pak", and King would return to produce the band's follow-up and soundtrack to their 2006 film, "The Pick of Destiny", for which he also wrote the instrumental score.

In 2008, King received a Grammy for his production work on Steve Earle album, "Washington Square Serenade", which was awarded Best Contemporary Folk / Americana album.

King recently completed producing the upcoming album for Young Love.
