Miloco is Europe's leading independent recording studio group, now providing an unparalleled choice of studio facilities. We can serve a vast range of recording projects thanks to our selection of innovative tracking studios, pristine Neve and SSL mix rooms, dynamic tracking spaces, our numerous and much sought-after programming suites, and a selection of beautiful residential retreats...
The Engine Room is our flagship mixing studio. In the summer of 2009 we carried out a major refurbishment and rebuild on this classic Neve VR room bringing it firmly into the 22nd Century. The Engine Room has now re-asserted itself within the ranks of London's very best mix facilities. The new studio offers a fresh, contemporary and hugely enjoyable mix environment to work in. The control room has been cosmetically and acoustically refurbed with brand new lighting and decor, and the Protools has been relocated from the room to reduce background noise. We have also enhanced the nearfield monitors with the addition of a new Bryston amplifier - the results are truly immense!
The Engine Room's former live room has also been re-designed and built, and is now re-launched as 'The Bridge'. It now provides three very useable recording areas: a dead booth, live booth, and larger recording area which is perfect for string quartets and drums. A secondary wall has been built to enhance the isolation between The Bridge and The Engine Room, providing an exciting choice of mixing, tracking, overdub and programming combinations, and at a variety of competitive prices too. Beam me up, Scotty!
The Bridge is a newly-reinvented and multifunctional studio which we launched in the summer of 2009. It offers a number of exciting ways to work. It can be used as a large recording space in conjunction with The Engine Room; our flagship Neve VR studio located next door. However it can also operate as a standalone facility consisting of three different rooms - a main live room, live booth and dead booth - which can be used whichever way the client chooses.
The Bridge has undergone a large acoustic and cosmetic refurbishment and is now beautifully presented with stunning burgundy panels, new halogen lights and a fresh coat of paint. Combined with The Engine Room, clients will enjoy these 3 fantastic rooms with a spec that boasts a Neve VR60, exquisite choice of mic-pres and world-class monitors. However if you decide to use The Bridge as a separate, free-standing studio, we will setup a Protools rig and invite engineers to bring in their own gear. Et Voila - you have an overdub/editing/recording studio operating completely independently, and at a much lower price!
The Pool is our sensational, groundbreaking tracking studio based in the main Miloco complex in SE1. The studio was rebuilt in the summer of 2009 and is now completely revitalized, offering clients more choice, versatility and a whole new way of working. The Pool now features a brand new control room which rises above the studio's vast live space. The control room has been designed to maximise space and therefore not encroach too much on the Pool's live space. It is filled with producer Ben Hillier's immense collection of vintage analogue gear, including a rare EMT console and stacks of outboard and microphones. Now engineers and producers can take advantage of Ben's equipment and The Pool's incredible tracking space from behind closed doors. However the studio's new versatile design allows for the control room gear to be relocated and set up in the live room, meaning extreme open recording can continue as it did before.
The live room has been completely refurbished, and now features a large drum booth at the far end, again rising above the ground level. We have added brand new lighting, made numerous acoustic enhancements and have relocated the entrance. It is now a beautifully presented, expansive and daylit tracking space which bands, producers and engineers will love recording in. Welcome to London's greatest reinvented world class tracking room...
Assault & Battery 2 is the tracking studio everyone's been waiting for. Opened as a joint venture between Miloco and leading producers Flood and Alan Moulder, Assault & Battery 2 proudly offers the complete recording experience.
Based in the revitalised Battery complex, this is truly one of the last great sounding recording spaces left in London. The vast high-ceiling and day-lit live room is at the heart of the studio, and caters for both large bands and even small orchestras. To one side are two large isolation booths; the first is a bright room ideal for getting exciting drum sounds and the other houses a great vintage keyboard collection, featuring a Roland system 700 modular systems and a wealth of other rare analogue delights...
The control room is centered around a newly installed Neve VR60, Protools HD3 Accel running on an Intel 8-core mac and Quested monitors. Enhancing the spec is Flood and Alan's outstanding selection of microphones, mic amps and outboard, plus an arsenal of backline comprising a beautiful collection of guitars, amps and pedals.
The studio's unstoppable formula of vast recording spaces and awesome equipment selections has been masterminded by two of the world's most respected and influential producers. You can now understand why Assault & Battery 2 ranks as one of the most inspirational recording environments in the UK.
This is the original Milo studio, based in the palpitating heart of trendy Hoxton. Completely refurbished - cosmetically and acoustically - in 2004, the studioÍs versatile live room delivers that quintessential funky drummer sound.

A recording studio since the late 1970s, this studio was completely refurbished in 2004.

It comes complete with Protools HD3 Accel, sounds astonishing and is available at fantastically competitive rates. But don't just take our word for it - hotfoot it down there yourself and try it out.
Alpha Centauri is located in Willesden Green, NW10. Since June 2008 Miloco has teamed up with singer-songwriter Steve Rhodes to make his incredible SSL mix room in North-West London available to the public.
Alpha Centauri probably boasts the greatest specification for a studio of its kind in the UK. Here is a mix room where clients can experience, quite literally, a no-expenses-spared Solid State mixing environment. The studio's prolific collection of top-end gear is nothing short of a dream for mix engineers and producers, and accompanies the room's awesome Solid State Logic SL4060 G+ Console with Total Recall, and an unbeatable combination of monitors including some Dynaudio M4+ custom built active speakers.
Complimenting Alpha Centauri's flawless array of equipment is a stunning interior design and furnishing, lit by an ambient fusion of natural sunshine and cutting-edge LED lighting. It is a combination that amounts to a whole new standard of Solid State mixing. Alpha Centauri is undoubtedly leaving the vast majority of other SSL mix studios light years behind.
It might be the smallest of our studios, but it packs a punch. Throughout the 80s and 90s this studio was one of the busiest programming rooms in town and bands such as The Chemical Brothers started their career here. In 2004 we relocated the studio to its present home, transforming it into a large day-lit suite.
The studio is based around a DDA console with NS10s and Genelec 1031s for monitoring. Recording is via either Protools or Logic Pro, there is a large collection of analogue synths (including Minimoog and Korg MS20) to help with those retro sounds, and thereÍs a great selection of outboard for vocaling or overdubbing.
This is the latest Neve mix room to be represented by Miloco. Owned by top producer/ DJ Pete Heller, it's laden with all the fantastic analogue keyboards he's collected over the years. This studio has been lovingly built by and for dedicated dancefloor addicts. However this by no means is it's only task. It is a fantastic studio for any genre of music.
The room is situated in Kentish Town, just a stone's throw from the Forum, and is based around a newly installed Neve VR60 with ATC SCM300 monitors. Add to this a Protools HD3 Accel Rig, a large choice of outboard and a great collection of analogue synthesisers and you'll see why this is the perfect studio for overdubbing, recording or mixing.
Miloco has just expanded into West London for the first time ever. Sofa Sound is a pristine SSL mix room based in Chiswick, and can be used for both first-class mixing and tracking, with a decent-sized live room enhancing the studio's capability. Formerly known as Stanley House, the studio is owned by the legendary Hugh Padgham, one of the all time great producers, and has regularly attracted some of the music world's biggest names over the years.
