At Urchin Studios, we are dedicated to providing a unique and inspiring environment for musicians and music producers to create their best work. Since our inception in 2007, we have established ourselves as one of the leading music production studios in the UK.
Our Story
Our journey began in 2007 when our co-founders, Matt Ingram and Dan Cox, took over a small studio in Limehouse, East London. The studio, founded by legendary producer Gordon Raphael, was a humble space but had a rich history of producing notable recordings. Our co-founders' passion for music and their expertise in production and engineering soon made the studio a hub for London's musical talent.
As the years went by, our studio outgrew its humble beginnings, and we relocated to a larger premises in Hackney's creative district. This marked the beginning of a new era for Urchin Studios, with our co-founders continuing to produce, engineer, and mix recordings for some of the biggest names in the industry.
