🎥 Snap isn’t just a recording studio — it’s a location that works hard on camera too.

From music videos and short films to fashion shoots and branded content, we’ve hosted it all — and there’s a film crew in again today making full use of the space.

📍 Ground-level load-in, off-street parking (even for trucks), and multiple rooms for production spill — it’s all set up to make your day run smoothly.

Whether you’re shooting something intimate or full-scale, we’ve got the space, the light, and the character to bring it to life.

Drop us a line to discuss filming your content/shoot/music video!

Our Rogers Holiday kit looking cute this morning before setup 🥁✨
We’ve got a real soft spot for vintage drums — this one sounds as good as it looks. Between the Rogers, our ‘70s Ludwig, and a room that actually lets drums breathe, we’ve built a space where you can really play.

Great mics, proper pres, and kits that make you want to track all day.

After our recent Magnetic Resonator Piano post, we’ve had a lot of new faces here — so we thought we’d dig into the archives.

Piano purists may want to look away now.

These photos are from a session we recorded back in 2016 for Geometric Horsehair, with Virginia Anderson and Christopher Hobbs performing bass and Eb clarinet alongside our Bösendorfer — carefully prepared with screws, bolts and other objects (all gently placed on the strings, of course).

Recorded live to tape, using only our tile room echo chamber for reverb — no added processing. Swipe to hear an excerpt from these fantastic recordings.

Strings!

We record a massive range of ensembles here, and along with drums, strings always bring out the best in the space.
The room gives us full low end, natural mids, and a smooth top that never gets harsh.

Consistently rewarding work — and a reminder of the happy accidents we embraced in the sound of the space when we built the live room!

We have plenty of time available this month if you’re looking to record. Get in touch!

A few days into recording with the Magnetic Resonator Piano (MRP), fixed to our Bösendorfer.
We’ve hosted it a few times over the past 15 years, and it’s been remarkable to see how the instrument has developed — both in design and musical potential.
The MRP uses electromagnets to vibrate the strings directly, allowing for continuous tones, rich harmonics, and subtle resonances — all without touching the keys.
It opens up a whole other palette of sounds: ambient, otherworldly, and deeply expressive.
Always a rare and inspiring experience to work with this instrument.

We can offer an excellent rate between the 20th and 24th May.

We’ve built a dry recording pocket in the live room using acoustic screens and deadening treatments—perfect for capturing ultra-clean dialogue. For our latest radio drama, we’re running 414 EB’s for natural speech and a dead U87 for those intimate “in the ear” moments.
This setup goes HARD for drums and perc too 😎
Clean where it counts, vibe where it matters.

will sadly be his last album - Countless Branches - was recorded and mixed at Snap in 2017.
Having been dropped from his label in the 1970’s, in Bill’s own words - “I didn’t leave the music business – the music business left me” - he never stopped writing songs and was thankfully rediscovered in his later years.  We are humbled and honoured that we were able to be a part of Bill’s journey. Mind how you go, Bill x
