Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on August 03, 1965)

Happy Birthday, Spike Stent! You're the wizard behind the mixing desk who turned Coldplay's melodies into magic, gave Lady Gaga her sonic sparkle, and made sure Muse rocked stadiums loud enough to wake up Mars. Without your golden ears, Depeche Mode might have enjoyed a little too much silence—and let's face it, without you even the Spice Girls wouldn't sound quite so spicy.

Here's wishing you another year filled with chart-topping hits and Grammy-worthy mixes. May your birthday be as timelessly cool as your legendary discography—because just like great music production, you're only getting better with age!
