During the Corona Virus Lockdown of May 2020, ‘The Skin Imps’ have exhibited immaculate social distancing skills (a first for them), by virtually recording a brand new live track “Front Door”. Based on the 1980’s TV Theme Tune ‘Trapdoor’, they take the beloved classic song to incredible new heights. Oil yourselves up and enjoy. Contact […]
I finally got around to writing and recording a new original track which is titled ‘Virtue Signal’ by Steve Stroud. It’s my first new solo song since I finished my solo album ‘Lavalamp‘ in 2017. I had a piano riff in my head and based it around that. It was also a good opportunity to […]
Had a great time recording the original song ‘Our Whingy Gayle’ by David Barker , the Jack Russell music recording artist this month. He brought the wine and his music all the way from France to come and record here, so he’s a little bit like Dionysus in my book. Dave wanted a 6o’s vibe […]
On the 9th of May, Franki traveled from Dorset to Big Cloud in Liverpool to start tracking for his third Album project to be produced here.

Early in September 2017, we started work on the ‘Tastes’ Album by Franki Doot when Franki made the long trek from Dorset to Liverpool to begin recording tracks for his latest original album. We’d previously collaborated on his last album ‘Frankie Doot Still Runs‘ back in 2016. On the last album, I’d only collaborated on […]
Had the pleasure of welcoming Tim O’Neill back to the studio recently to work on two brand new compositions. Tim arrived with two new songs he wanted to record and played them to me acoustically before telling me what kind of instrumentation he wanted on the tracks. This is usually how it works with Tim, […]
This was one of the most original and interesting projects I’ve ever been involved with. BRN/ rd /YND is a brilliant musician who likes to compose his tunes in an unuusal way. He chips away at a composion, layering up korg kaossilators , synths and samples until he’s satisfied. BRN/ rd /YND had some unorthodox […]
