Located in the heart of London’s Spitalfields, Artillery Studios has joined the Miloco studio bookings service. The stunning mix room features a beautiful 64-channel SSL G Series console, which was originally owned by Big Boi from Outkast.
Outboard gear ranges from digital classics such as the Lexicon 480L to sought-after analogue tape delays such as the Watkins Copicat. Modern classics such as the Maselec MEA-2 EQ feature on the gear list and printing of mixes is done via a state-of-the-art Apogee Symphony I/O AD/DA.
Featuring natural oak and Sandanavian tones, the studio offers a very relaxing working environment aided by natural daylight via a west-facing window. Liverpool Street, Shoreditch High Street and Aldgate East stations are only a five-minute walk away and Artillery Studios has on-site parking.
The brand new SpinRoad Recording Studios, owned by Brit Award-winning producer Pedro Ferreira, is the second Swedish facility in the Miloco directory. Housed in an early 1900s building, the Gothenburg studio is an exceptional blend of old and new.
The huge live room boasts a Yamaha C3 grand piano and Tama drum kit, and is flooded with natural light thanks to the near floor-to-ceiling windows. In the control room a Neve V3 console takes centre stage under a cluster of naked lightbulbs.
Both rooms were designed by acoustician Nick Whitaker (Abbey Road Studios, British Grove Studios), providing perfect characteristics for live recording. There is also a stylish kitchen and lounge where clients can take a break.

Tom and guitar player Alex Robershaw have known each other since they were teenagers, the two budding music-makers having hung out in the engineer’s home studio.
In winter 2014 Tom was once more working with the Manchester-based outfit at Angelic, this time in the company of producer Stuart Price making their third record ‘Get To Heaven’ that was released in June 2015.
Most of the Angelic gear was set up at one time or another. “The upright piano has a MIDI input so can play itself, which is always interesting to put ridiculous parts into,” explains Tom. “We used fast and complex arpeggiators that a human could never recreate. Bass sounds were a pleasure with an EAR compressor and Pultec EQ in the chain. The extensive collection of microphones gives you great choice of character for any recording. This was essential in carving a signature sound into the production.”
Cenzo Townsend was brought in to mix a few tracks, but many of the other songs were mixed by Stuart.

Posted in Uncategorized |Released 22 June 2015 on Dirty Hit Records, Wolf Alice’s debut album ‘My Love Is Cool’ was produced by Mike Crossey (Arctic Monkeys, Foals) in London’s Livingston Studio 1, Wood Green.
“Everyone kept telling us we were so eclectic and incapable of being pigeonholed,” says Theo Ellis (bass). “The album is an expression of our sound, cross-pollinated by what’s come before. A consistent representation of those ideas.” Ellie Rowsell (guitar/vocals) scoffs. “You’re too eloquent for your own good, Theo.” Theo: “Fine, the drums are fucking sick. I love it.”
The band went into the studio with 20 songs, spanning from three years to a few weeks old, last November for five weeks. Only two of their previous releases – ‘Fluffy’ and ‘Bros’ – are on the final 11-track LP, Ellie insistent that the rest of their catalogue has already lived its life. Their decisions around which songs would make the cut were based simply on the ones they still had feverish performances for.
