After building several own studios and touring Jamaica for a while, he produced Tone Loc's single "Cheeba Cheeba", and engineered the Beastie Boys' second album Paul's Boutique soon afterward. Since then, he has produced many albums for artists as various as Super Furry Animals and Molotov, but also produced most Beastie Boys albums up to and including Hello Nasty, all three Money Mark albums, and Molotov's "Apocalypshit". He has also produced many Brazilian artists, including Seu Jorge, Planet Hemp, Bebel Gilberto, Marcelo D2, and Chico Science & Nação Zumbi.
