As a result of their success on Tradiio (where music fans ‘invest’ in up-and-coming artists using virtual coins), band Some Velvet Morning were rewarded with some time in The Engine Room through our partnership with Tradiio.
“The studio was excellent and we achieved very pleasing results during our time there,” say the band, who reached #1 on the global and rock Tradiio charts with ‘How To Start A Revolution’. They also reached #3 in the global charts and #1 in the rock charts with ‘Allies’ after receiving a total amount of 5,880,100 coins collectively.
When asked whether the guys would recommend Tradiio to other artists they couldn’t speak more highly of it: “It seems a very clever way to expand your fan base and the practical benefits such as free studio time really benefit independent acts”.

Recording, writing and mixing facility Greystoke Studio has recently been added to the Miloco site.
Based in west London’s Hangar Lane, Greystoke has a huge range of instruments including a synth collection containing models from Roland, KORG, Oberheim and Sequential Circuits; a Steinway ‘Baby’ grand piano; a full drumkit; guitars; keyboards and organs – it’s even got a lap steel! Building its incredible gear list (including some beautiful microphones and the latest preamps) has been a labour of love.
The studio has been acoustically designed to capture the best sound in the booth, live room and mixing room, and is the perfect space for writing and recording, for bands and solo artists.
The Miloco Builds team completed the extensive acoustic fit out following the studio’s recent rebuild, with Nick Whitaker overseeing the acoustic design.
As of Wednesday, Ravenscourt Studios has had a Bentley six-octave piano in Studio 3.
“We’ve added a vibey little Bentley piano to Studio 3 and its absolutely perfect for the room,” says engineer Sam Farr. “It dates back to 1957 so its not too bright which I think is ideal for most things. It also sounds much bigger than it looks. We’ll probably leave it in the control room for writing sessions but its super-easy to move it to the booth for recording sessions.”
The west London facility has also just built a roof terrace, which makes a great private space for lunch/smoking etc.
“We’ve also completed work on the roof terrace that we started in July,” tells Sam. “Its a fantastic space that gets loads of sun and is a great spot to chill out when you need a break from the studio. Bring some bangers and you can have a barbie!”
Two-hour daily radio show World Cafe recently recorded Peter Bjorn and John at X-Level Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.

David’s four-track debut EP ‘Galaxy’ was released in March 2014. Available to stream below, ‘Galaxy’ includes a mixture of jazz, neo-soul, blues and fusion-style music. ‘I’ll Follow You’ features Ethel Baffoe, who delivers a neo-soul/jazz twist of gospel.
David includes Snarky Puppy, Robert Glasper and Michael Jackson as his main influences.
On Tradiio, music fans stream songs by up-and-coming artists and then ‘invest’ in the ones they believe in the most using virtual coins that they are given on signing up.
Artists upload their music and can earn rewards like studio time if they raise enough ‘investment’.
