Nothing better than hearing tunes come back with my Dub Cavern Drums loops & samples pack. Even better when they arrive in the post on wax!
Certainly recommend checking out this new Head Gardener album on band camp, it's a lovely retro infused journey through reggae, dub, rocksteady vibes and funk!

Our Story

Mikey Shaw is an Engineer and Producer with a long history entrenched in the local Norwich music scene. After years of running small mix rooms and studios in the area, he teamed up with like minded Engineer - Jason Baldock of Old School Studios to create and share a space.. A cool as hell military bunker to be precise! - The Crunch studio. The studio comprises of a hybrid set up of vintage analogue recording gear, beautiful old and modern microphones, handmade 'one offs', and high quality converters set within a digital interface/multitracking system. Whilst Mikey's specialty is reggae and dub, there is no limit to the studio's applications in terms of genre! The vintage warmth and beefiness of valve and tape based recording/mixing equipment lends itself to just about all forms of music. And if you just want clean and sparkly... Well, that's fine too! All kinds of work can be undertaken, band/artist recording/mixing, post-production/stems work (for producers/artists wanting to add the finishing touches), spoken word, vocal overdubs etc. Past artists include: Solko The Piratones HANK Galli Thieving Icons Junior Ras Harry Ixer Music Lessons Guranfoe Lisa Redford The Vagaband KILLAMONJAMBO Dr Clyde Tallowah Moco Lotif Polly Violet Collective Jack Pout Kolin Druier *************************************************************
