The models at the studio so far make up a pretty tasty selection of pedals, including lots of cool vintage items from BOSS, Dunlop, Electro-Harmonix, Lovetone and Musitronics.

Dan compiled the ‘Powerhouse Breaks’ library from the best fidelity machine/cartridge combination out of the two machines he had at studio Lion Aboard (before he sold one to a museum in Philadelphia).
‘Powerhouse Breaks’ has 64 awesome drum loops on 8x8track cartridges. All 64 complete loops (each one is 1-2 minutes long) come in a variety of different styles.
Gotye was one of the first people to buy a copy of the pack, which is seemingly of particular appeal to film composers. Even composer Vangelis used to have a Powerhouse.
‘Powerhouse Breaks’ is available at www.bandmasterpowerhouse.com for £19.99.

About the location
Lake Malvik is located in the village of Runemo in idyllic northern Sweden. Nestled in the tranquil pine forests, the studio has been built in a large detached farmhouse featuring three luxurious guest bedrooms that provide the accommodation for Malvik’s visitors.
Only two hours from Stockholm, Runemo is home to everything that characterises Sweden – mountains, sea, archipelagos, lakes, rivers, forests and wilderness, with its own distinct character and picturesque countryside.
See other studio photographs here
The studio comprises of a huge naturally lit control room, live room plus some rather unique recording spaces across its three floors. A vast array of equipment and instruments from the usual to the not so usual are also at hand. Everything about Lake Malvik was conceived with the inspiration of the writing process in mind.
Ideas will never be short in this wonderful creative space.
