Ilkatron Studios is the second amazing London recording stdio we are launching on the website this month. It is based in Clapham, south west London, and is run by producer/engineer Ben “Steamy” Williams. This brand new partnership with Miloco sees us enter the south west of London for the very first time.
Ilkatron features a wonderful 32-channel vintage Sphere Eclipse C console, which has recently been lovingly restored. The studio is perfectly laid out for bands looking to record together, with a 350 sq ft live room, a large booth and a room for isolating amps. It offers a great collection of classic mics, outboard, and backline and also includes a state-of-the-art Pro Tools|HDX system with a substantial selection of plug-ins. The equipment spec has been carefully devised to accommodate the simultaneous set up of all the studio’s instruments, so that everything can be ready to record at a moment’s notice.
The building, which was once part of Joe’s Garage Recording Studios, comes steeped in history. In the ’90s it played host to Boy George, Ian Dury, Bob Geldof, Stereo MCs, Right Said Fred, The Orb and David Byrne. The studio’s previous occupants, Morcheeba, produced six albums during their time here in the late ’90s and 2000s.

This November we are introducing two great London recording studios to the Miloco group. The first is Westpoint, a cutting-edge SSL recording and mix studio based in the heart of West London.
Westpoint Studios is one of the best boutique recording studios in London, known as one of the leading choices for producers and artists such as Dave Stewart, Jeff Beck, Tom Jones, Primal Scream, Simply Red, Seal, Bjork, Kylie Minogue, Take That, La Roux, Pet Shop Boys and many more.
Precision built by Recording Architecture, the studio is a unique blend of state-of-the-art recording facilities combined with a daring white interior design. Natural light floods the 22-foot control room through tall frosted glass windows and has a homely feel thanks to the relaxed chill out zones in every room.
At the centre of Westpoint’s control room is the purebred SSL 48 track 4K G Series and the highly acclaimed ATC SCM 200 monitoring system for a listening experience recommended by all who have had the pleasure of experiencing it. For multi-track recording there is the latest Pro Tools HDX system with a staggering 64 i/o via apogee symphony converters. Add to this over 100 balanced tie lines for you to record in any room (even the kitchen!) and it’s easy to see why even clients with the most complex of sessions find it a breeze to set up effortlessly into these facilities.
Westpoint Studios is an oasis of creativity in the heart of West London, close to the major labels, and promises an unforgettable recording experience with results that are hard to beat. Find out everything you need to know on Westpoint Studios by visiting www.miloco.co.uk/westpoint.
