Recording studios Berlin – Bakermoon Studios

It’s been a busy six months at Bakermoon Studios  and we’ve seen the full spectrum of the thriving Berlin music scene come through our doors.

From laying down some spectacular future classics, to hard wiring some under-ground smash hits that you’ll only discover in Berlin’s vinyl shops, we’ve been lucky enough to be exposed to a huge variety of Berlin’s live music scene.

The best thing about the last 6 months is the amount of live tracking sessions we’ve had with bands playing together, laying down the soul of the record as a unit, capturing their chemistry together onto ‘tape’ – something that’s perhaps been missing from the last few years of laptop productions?

Our classic 1970s Quad 8 desk has really come into it’s own in that regard, providing the rich,  analogue warmth we’re so fond of.

Here’s a few shots from the studio:

She is definitely part of the new wave of inventive German pop artists you should all watch out for!

The Berlin-based, Australian disco-funk newcomers Parcels passed through Bakermoon in March to lay down some spectacular new music of theirs.

The prize for bringing in the weirdest percussion instrument so far goes to Larry Mullins, who recorded drums on an album here late last year produced by Paul Wallfisch. Larry has since been on the road as a member of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and Paul has been on the road as part of Swans.
