I operate across a curated network of London’s premier recording environments, primarily RAK Studios and Strongroom. I select each space based on the specific sonic requirements of the project, leveraging legendary rooms for tracking and my private analog suite for experimental overdubs and mixing.

As a specialist in analog sound, I prioritise studios with impeccably maintained tape machines to capture the depth and grit that defines my work.

My long-standing relationships with these rooms allow me to secure preferred rates and flexible workflows, ensuring world-class production is accessible for every project I lead.
