We are delighted to announce the very special arrival of a Grotrian Steinweg Concert Grand Piano at Assault & Battery 2, in North West London. A&B2 is one of the UK’s very best recording studios with a comprehensive spec and selection of great recording rooms. Now with the addition of this beautiful Grand we can cater for all piano sessions.
Built in 1982 and measuring 2.2m x 1.5m (7.2” x 4.8”) the piano was owned and used extensively by legendary producer Alan Parsons (Beatles, Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons Project) while residing at Abbey Road Studios. It can be heard on many Alan Parsons Project albums such as ‘Eye In The Sky’ and ‘Gaudi’. Since then it has been played on many other great records by a host of recording stars.
With a brand new home at Assault & Battery 2 the piano can continue its legacy. It now means we can record classical, jazz or any other musical genre that requires a great piano.
The latest addition to Assault & Battery 2’s renowned equipment spec, which is provided by leading producers Flood and Alan Moulder, has cemented the studio’s reputation as a truly world-class recording facility. You can find out more on Assault and Battery 2 by visiting www.miloco.co.uk/studios/assault-and-battery-2/intro/.

Craig Silvey has been a force to be reckoned with in 2011. Since mixing The Arcade Fire’s Grammy-winning ‘The Suburbs’, he has been mostly locked away in Miloco’s Garden studio in Shoreditch working on a never-ending string of records to have made a big impression both commercially and critically, from the Mercury-nominated debut from Anna Calvi, to other critically acclaimed releases from the likes of Bombay Bicycle Club and The Horrors.
You can keep track of all the releases Craig and other producers and engineers have made in The Garden by visiting the brand new Garden releases page on the Miloco website: miloco.co.uk/studios/the-garden/releases/.

This month we have two brand new interviews with two of the UK’s top producers published on the Miloco website. Following last month’s launch of our new Programming and Writing Room, The Bunker, we also bagged some time with legendary producer Stephen Street, who we are running the studio in partnership with.
We were thrilled to be able to sit down with Stephen to discuss the studio, his prolific catalogue of work and his personal thoughts on how the record industry has changed over the course of his career.

As part of The Pool’s relaunch, we asked Ben a series of questions on both the studio and his recent activities as a producer. Since the last time we interviewed Ben in 2007, the Pool has been through a major transformation, and now of course has a massive new injection of analogue gear thanks to Johan’s arrival. Ben has also worked with everyone from Depeche Mode to Graham Coxon in that time, as well as a selection of new bands and artists such as Beth Jeans Houghton, Dennis Hopper Choppers, Nadine Shah and Plugs. As such, we all agreed it was high time to reconvene.

This month we’re ushering in a brand new era at our ever-evolving tracking studio, The Pool, in London SE1. The Pool’s longstanding partnership between Miloco and producer Ben Hillier is thrilled to now welcome on board Johan Ekelund, producer and co-founder of the Kobalt Music Group, and a selection of his enormous shipment of rare outboard equipment.
This new £80,000 investment in gear means that The Pool now rivals the most famous studios in the UK. It now provides over 50 Mic Pres and EQs, a collection highlighted by 18 vintage Neve Preamps; 9 x 1079s and 9 x 1272s, in addition to two Telefunken V76/80 preamps.
Here are the new EQ’s on offer. We have 2 x API 550s, 2 x API 550As and 2 x API 560Bs. Then there’s the NTI EQ3, 2 x Lang PEQ-2As, Pultec HLF-3C and MEQ-5.
We have 9 new Compressors: 2 x Neve 2254/As, Urei 1176 & 1176LN, and Altec 436C, Universal Audio 175-B and 2 x API 525As, and have heavily enhanced the selection of Delays and Reverbs too, with a Fairchild Reverberation II Model 659 & 659A, Ursa Major Space Station SST-282, AMS RMX16, EMT 244 and Lexicon Super Prime Time. Last but not least, a Moog 12 Stage Phaser MKPH processor is also now on the spec.
As far as tracking rooms go The Pool now has pretty much everything. Johan’s contribution joins that already provided by Ben; a vast collection of esoteric gear in its own right. This world-class spec lives in a studio boasting a huge live area, control room and drum booth, all of which are designed for maximum sound quality and vibe…

Australian rockers Call Collector set up camp in our Engine Room studio earlier this summer. We were very pleased to have this exciting band and great bunch of guys over for a few weeks at our HQ at Leroy Street, London. We wish them all the best for when their debut album, which they were mixing at the time, is released.
During their stay they filmed a 4-episode Studio Files series: 3 documenting the actual session, and one spoof retrospective ‘rock-u-mentary’ which featured the recently-discovered (much to our delightful surprise) acting talents of three of our assistant engineers: Mark Allaway, Jake Gordon and Joseph Rodgers.
So thank you to Call Collector for their time at Miloco, and for the laughs they’ve given us since with the ‘Call Collector Studio Files’!!
