RECORDING STUDIO

Theme Ltd is a professional recording studio in London, designed for artists, bands, and podcasters who need a fully equipped space to record, mix, and produce music.

Our live and control rooms were acoustically designed by Paul Gillieron, whose credits include the O2 Arena, Jazz Cafe, and Roundhouse.

 

Alongside this precision design, the studio is equipped with rare and sought-after instruments and processors, including Roland SH-09 and JP-8000 synthesisers, a WASP analogue synth, the AKAI MPC 3000 by Roger Linn, an Avalon VT-737sp channel strip, and the Bricasti M7 reverb.

 

This combination of expert acoustics and distinctive equipment gives artists access to both studio-standard clarity and unique character, making Theme Ltd an ideal space for recording, mixing, and mastering. The rooms are fully air-conditioned, ensuring a consistent and comfortable environment for every session.
