History

Established in 2014.

We love Denton and are invloved in many cultural and social facets of the town. We wanted to start a different kind of music hub where musicians could gather and be creative, students could learn in a unique environment, and bands could rehearse and record. So we opened up our cozy and centrally-​located studio, where we recorded the last Midlake album, Antiphon, to share our love of music to a new generation of musicians, young and old.
