The The

The mighty The The delivered unto the earth: Soul Mining, Infected, Mind Bomb, Dusk and so, so much more. Not only that, but Matt Johnson liked The Garden Studios so much that he actually bought it. Now that’s love.

Miloco and Matt Johnson went on to run The Garden recording studio in Shoreditch from the mid 1990s till the end of 2012.
