We have just completed our refresh of Studio A here at Urchin Studios! Our control room now features 2 channels of @amsneveltd 1073 preamps with EQ, 4 channels of @amsneveltd 1081 preamps and 4 channels of @wearefocusrite ISA 428s. Gone is our old Trident 65 console (goodbye old friend) which has opened up more space to hang out during writing and tracking sessions. Overall we think it's a very satisfying set of upgrades to our flagship recording studio 😎 DM us now to book or arrange a tour #musicproduction #recordingengineer #drumrecording #mixingengineer #masteringengineer
A lovely evening out at the @musicproducersguild Awards last week! It had been a busy day which is why @danurchin is having just a very small sleep during this photo, but it was still an honour to be a part of the Help(2) album which won the Impact Award. Huge shout out to all the winners and those shortlisted (because that is still very awesome)
performing my song ‘English Weather’ live in session at @urchinstudios . this song has been everywhere with me the past few years and it felt only right to document its original form as this little folk song, before i added the piano and the band on the final version. honestly, this might be the one i’m most proud of…
thank you to everyone who helped shoot this for waiting so patiently while i get my ducks in a row and get this out.
and especially to @_michelle_hughes for standing by me, pushing me to release these songs, and directing this beautiful video.

A joy to mix this stunning track for @annacalvi and friends (@adrian.utley@ellieciararowsell@niluferyanyaaaaaa and @doveellis_@alexreevesdrums ) as part of @warchildrecords album Help(2) under the guidance of the amazing producers @cjmarks and @james_ellis_ford
even got to drop in on the recording session at the gorgeous @angelrecordingstudios
Every purchase, stream and share of ‘HELP(2)’ supports @warchilduk to raise vital funds and awareness for children living through the unthinkable. No child should be part of a war. Ever. In conflict zones everywhere from Ukraine to Sudan, children's lives are being torn apart by violence and fighting
Studio A just got a whole lot better! Our newly upgraded control room features 2 channels of @amsneveltd 1073 preamps with EQ, 4 channels of @amsneveltd 1081 preamps and 4 channels of @wearefocusrite ISA 428s alongside a pair of @thisisapiaudio 3124s and Amek BCii broadcast console. Perfect for writing sessions, drum recording, and full band tracking. Get in touch to book or arrange a tour of our flagship recording studio #musicproduction #recordingengineer #drumrecording #mixingengineer #masteringengineer 😎
our pal @sampleanswer stopped by last night for a sip of tea and a casual tearing of the space time continuum with his guitar skills. Note the colour coordination between this fine gentleman's suit and our modified Yamaha Pacifica (@seymourduncanpickups Phat Cat P90s doing the heavy lifting). delicious 😋 #electricguitar #shredding #gentlemansfashion
An absolute privilege to have mixed a couple of tracks on this album for @warchildrecords in support of a such a vital cause. ‘HELP(2)’ - the new collaborative album was created in support of the 520 million children worldwide currently affected by conflict. The album is out 6th March 2026 with all proceeds going to @warchilduk
Shout out to all artists involved but especially @young_fathers@annacalvi@adrian.utley@ellieciararowsell@niluferyanyaaaaaa@doveellis_ for trusting me with your incredible music, and of course the amazing @cjmarks and @james_ellis_ford for pulling it all together, not forgetting the master masterer @puttingitonwax (and the mastermind behind the master @charliescolton )
and as always when there's such a magnificent and an important musical undertaking at play you can be sure that our best pal @mrtobyl is behind it all bringing order amongst chaos (and sometime adding some chaos of his own!)
Pre order the album now and support an incredible cause https://warchildrecs.ffm.to/help2
A little bit of DIY to start the year! out with the clunky keyboard stand in studio A and in with a far more slinky Juno 6 stand that even folds away for extra space when needed. Also on the list was a wheely cart for our delicious collection of cymbals, a custom guitar rack also on wheels and a 50% expansion and upgrade to our microphone "locker". what more could a recording studio ask for? 🎤 #londonrecordingstudio #musicproduction #recordingengineer #studiodiy
2025 was the best year a recording studio could ever wish for! thanks to all the wonderful artists and creators who have graced our recording studios this year - 2026 already has some very exciting projects in progress. here's to a happy New year to each and every one of you. Cheers! 🥂 #recordingstudio #musicproduction #hackneywick
