We Make Records.

Making Records is at the heart of what we do at Record Division.

We bring decades of experience to your project in a unique setting built from the ground up to make your record better.

Our dedicated team ensure that your music is treated with the care and attention it deserves.

Get in touch to discuss your next studio project!

Studio A is now open for bookings.

Whether it’s a single in a day or an album over months, tell us about your project and we’ll put together a plan and a price. Want to see the rooms first? Come in for a look round.

The rooms.

Studio A (control room)

7m x 4m with a ceiling over 3m. Home to the 74-input Cadac J-Series, the monitoring and the outboard, with room for the whole band to listen back.

Live room

11m x 6m with a 2.7m ceiling. Big enough to track a full band together, with drums, amps and the baby grand. 26 XLR tie lines and 6 returns.

Air Lock

A glass corridor between Studio A and the live room, giving line of sight across the whole studio.
