Mark Ronson believes in studio "respect"

Mark Ronson has claimed that the secret of his success in the studio is his belief in "mutual respect".

The music producer, who has teamed up with Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen and the Kaiser Chiefs, revealed that he would never use aggressive techniques when working with artists.

"You hear of these really antagonistic producers who rile artists up to anger in order to get a passionate performance, but that’s not how I am," Ronson told The Times. "For me there has to be some kind of rapport and mutual respect.

"And I've been lucky in that everyone I've worked with has been cool. I haven't experienced one diva or egomaniac."

Ronson added that he has not yet made any solid decisions about the follow-up to his 2007 album Version.

He said: "I'm not sure what form it will take yet, except to say it won't be full of covers. There's only one I have in mind."
