I often work from Kluster in Limehouse, East London.
It's the creative centre in a hub of studios and rehearsal spaces. We sometimes put on small gigs and have filmed a few music videos here over the years.
The studio itself has a tight, upfront sound that is especially great for drums. People often say they're surprised at what we could achieve in this size space.
I also work from other studios and often track
elsewhere using Kluster for overdubs and mix.
It depends on logistics and budgets. Let's chat about what would best for your project.
