A trio of studios has been added to our list of rooms available for long-term let. Lansdowne House Studio is very close to Universal Music UK and 30 seconds walk from Holland Park tube, Hornsey Suite 4 is positioned favourably for north London’s great transport links and Ravenscourt Studio 1 is in west London’s Ravenscourt Park.
The self-contained and daylit Lansdowne House Studio is in London’s Holland Park. At Lansdowne House Studio, there is a control room, live room, bathroom with shower and rec room. Miloco Builds transformed the facility into a luxury recording studio in 2013. This long-term let studio comes equipped with a great selection of gear.
Hornsey Suite 4 is one of six long-term let spaces located in a fantastic complex in Hornsey, north London. A great space for writers, programmers and musicians, this large room benefits from having daylight, a recording area, a separate booth, air-conditioning and a monitored alarm system. The complex contains shared amenities including a kitchen and rec room.
Ravenscourt Studio 1 has had a few software upgrades adding Pro Tools HD 11, Logic Pro X and the Arturia V Collection of soft synths. Based around an Audient ASP4816 console, PMC monitors and a 19ft x 15ft live room, it’s a great little production/recording studio together with 24-hour access, shared use of common areas (including a brand new roof garden!), and all bills included. Studio 1 is available for short, medium or long term hire or on a timeshare basis.
Riley MacIntyre has spoken to Audio Media International (AMI) about his long journey from a makeshift studio in his bedroom in Canada to becoming production assistant engineer for Paul Epworth at The Church Studios, London.
Riley is vying for a chance to take home the Rising Star prize at this year’s Pro Sound Awards on 24 September.
Our colleagues Miloco Gear have built three new pedal boards that feature at Livingston Studios.
Each board has its own specific purpose (with some unusual twists), Board 1 being our gain/overdrive/fuzz board, Board 2 being modulation effects and the final board concentrating on delays/reverbs.
In Miloco Gear’s final part of their series on the new pedalboards at Livingston Studios, they look at possibly the most fun one of all time, the delay/reverb board.
Don Broco album ‘Automatic’ – produced by the Grammy Award winning Jason Perry at Angelic Studio – was released today through Epic Records.
The follow-up to 2012 debut ‘Priorities’ sees the band incorporating a vast range of influences into their musical melting pot – pop, funk, dance, rock and a healthy dose of 1980s New Romanticism.
Sheffield rock band Bring Me the Horizon released ‘Throne’, their new single, on 23 July via RCA.
‘Throne’ is an exhilarating ride of a track, bursting with huge riffs and soaring vocals. It was recorded in Santorini, Greece at the luxurious Black Rock studio, engineered by Al Groves and produced by the band’s own Oli Sykes and Jordan Fish.
Al met Bring Me the Horizon in August 2014 when they came to his studio The Motor Museum to record their single ‘Drown’, which dominated Radio 1’s playlist with 260 plays.
‘Throne’ was one of the first songs Al and the band recorded during two-month ‘That’s the Spirit’ album sessions at Black Rock. “The band had spent three months doing pre-production before we got out there so that song was all worked out and ready to go,” says Al. “I tracked the band in the main studio and Jordan and Ollie would do vocals in a second studio we set up in one of the booths.”

Deafkid were chosen as the winners of the two days studio time, so Sentric gave the guys a shout to ask them about their time in the studio and what is next for Deafkid.
Deafkid consist of musicians and producers Christopher Lockington and Florian Sauvaire. The sound is a blend of the electronica, experimental and pop genres. Prior to forming Deafkid, Chris and Flo met whilst working with experimental hip-hop artist Ghostpoet.
The guys chose to spend their two days of free studio time in 123 Studios in Peckham. Sentric popped along to hear what they had to say about working together, recording and the value of free studio time when finances are tight.

Informed by a trip to Jamaica but additionally inspired by her Greek heritage, the set was preceded by the tracks ‘Unstoppable’ and ‘What You Don’t Do’.
Recorded by Adele/FKA twigs collaborator producer Paul Epworth and engineer Matt Wiggins at The Church Studios and built upon an instrumental by Ninja Tune trio The Invisible, the first single ‘Unstoppable’ is a song that Lianne wrote to help to repair a relationship that she had ended.
Legendary dancehall/reggae producer Stephen McGregor joined in the making of ‘Blood’ along with a rich collection of others.

Red Emperor, from Brighton, UK, combine powerful sounds, lyrics and four-part vocal harmonies, providing something that’s ultimately refreshing.
Having played GuilFest last year and having released their EP and played at Blended Dubai this year (alongside big-name acts such as Kasabian, Craig David and Jessie Ware), 2015 looks set to be a good year for Red Emperor.
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’.
