WHO WE WORK WITH
clients - current & past
Remote Control has worked in the background with the UK Partisan team for over 5 years. Working with such a creative and hardworking team has been a delight and we provide support across various elements of their amazing roster, as a sounding board and encouragement of their own and their artist's ideas and plans. The work they have done on Idles and Fontaines DC, in particular, has been a complete highlight, with the 2019 Mercury awards taking a special place in our heart.
