The Miloco Builds team are currently hard at work on the refurbishment at the legendary Livingston Studios in North London. Miloco will be relaunching the studio complex at the end of 2012, and you can keep up with the entire refurbishment process on a new Tumblr blog: livingstonstudios.tumblr.com.

Updates are on a daily basis, including: exterior and interior paint jobs, the building of custom workstations, the replacement of carpets and the swapping of recording consoles!

Stay tuned to the Livingston Studios Blog for further news on the relaunch of Livingston.

Oscar and Orlando approached us in early 2011 to get involved in a build after having worked in Miloco’s The Pool studio. As they were both in separate bands they needed a space where they could rehearse, mix and record simultaneously and without disturbing each other. Once we had found a suitable host building, Pete and the team designed a layout to deliver this. With isolation being the key factor Nick Whitaker specified the treatment and the guys are delighted with the results.

They now have a large rehearsal space with a designated programming area and DJ booth that also serves as an adjacent large control room for a more traditional recording set up, as well as a mix room. The control room has its own vocal booth so can operate independently and there is an additional soundproof editing room on the same floor which doubles up as an amp booth.

Needless to say all the areas are cleverly tie lined together with comprehensive wiring designed and installed by Sound Engineer Finn Eiles whose studio experience is invaluable with this type of install.

We are delighted to announce that SNK Studios have won the award for Best Sound Design at the 2012 Music and Sound Awards. Miloco Builds created two studios for the company in London’s West End in 2010/11, which are used for sound design, music and voice-over recording. We’d like to offer our congratulations to Seb Julliver and his team at SNK on the award and hope they’ll be many more to come!

BBC Children In Need Project

Miloco Builds were contacted by Children In Need to specify and supply acoustic treatment for two studios and a live room after their main contractor pulled out. With just a few days until the grand unveiling we managed to get a design together, and with some generous contributions from our friends James and Matt at RPG Europe we were able to fit out the studios. Mickey made his TV debut in a flying visit and everyone was delighted with the results.

The Chemical Brothers have had a long association with Miloco and Nick Whitaker, who they asked to refit their private studio. Mickey and the Miloco Builds team spent a month remodelling the monitor wall for some new ATCs, as well as supplying new furniture for their huge collection of synths.

Stephen Street

Stephen was looking to build a room in a garage space. There were a few key factors to consider for this particular studio design. Firstly, Stephen required a booth for overdubbing; he also commissioned a bespoke workstation; and lastly due to the close proximity of other studios in the building, it needed to be a fully soundproofed room. We were all extremely happy with the speed in which this build came together.

Stephen Street (Producer): “I was absolutely delighted with the design and build of my new studio room that Miloco Builds constructed for me at the Miloco HQ in London. Pete Hofmann and his team liaised carefully with me throughout the studio construction to make sure the details I required to make the room work for me were in place and their advice regarding the design was invaluable too. I recommend them highly!”

Richard X

Having previously built Richard’s programming suites in Hoxton we knew that getting the isolation between the Control room and “b” room was paramount to enable him to mix in both rooms simultaneously. Nick Whitaker was on hand to make sure both rooms were perfectly tuned to meet Richard’s exacting standards.

Richard X (Producer): “Miloco have always been very thorough, and their technical expertise is second to none. I am always happy to recommend the team whether it’s a bedroom build or a fully-blown studio”

Matt Johnson

Miloco have worked alongside Matt Johnson for many years running his Garden Studio in Shoreditch. The Garden had previously been refurbished by Miloco Builds, who also rebuilt the main monitor wall to install a Boxer monitor system. However due to the studio’s increased commercial popularity, Matt approached us to also build him a new private room where he could write and overdub.

Matt Johnson (Producer/Musician:: “Having been lucky enough to have worked in some of the finest studios in London and New York over the course of my career I can honestly say that Miloco offers a truly world class service. Whether you are a musician or producer renting studio time from them, whether you are a studio owner they are managing an existing studio on behalf of or whether they are building a personal studio for you from scratch, Miloco’s service is of the same high standard. Friendly, cost effective and incredibly detailed.”

Danton Supple

Danton’s private room in the Battery Studio complex needed refurbishing. We knocked through into a small booth to give a larger control room. Then, we replaced all the existing fabric and installed an oak dado giving easy access to tie lines and power.

Danton Supple (Producer): “After a brief design chat, Miloco had it built to a great standard in no time adding useful tweaks and adjustments along the way”

Calvin Harris

Calvin needed to float the floor of his control room and then supply and fit a dark oak floor. He also commissioned a bespoke workstation to house his new API console.
