After 5 months of hard work in the studio the debut album from Madame Laycock and Her Dabeno Pleasures is finally finished! Entitled “Come My Pretties”, it contains 12 tracks of romany-folk-inspired stories told by Madame Laycock in her own inimitable style with accordions, fiddle, glockenspiel, trumpet,  helicon & assorted percussion providing support.

Summer is coming and I am ready to deliver a hard sound-track for sunny-time sessions. Using Ableton Live, Traktor and my Novation SL25 knob-bank I’ll be whipping up some crunchy breaks, creamy techno and cherry-popping trance at a party near you soon! In the meantime check a breaks mix from the Magic Castle Experiment in August 2008.. more to come as we head towards the warmth! ROLL ON SUMMER!

As you may know Burning Studios is currently producing the debut album for Madame Laycock & Her Dabeno Pleasures. Recording is progressing well and we have only backing vocals, some accordion and helicon (a large, bass brass instrument) left to track. Then we can have some fun adding animal noises and other sound effects before the mixing begins.

A future underground legend is coming to Burning Studios at the end of this month to produce an album that we feel is of critical importance to our times. Bringing together jungle, electronica, drum n bass, hiphop, industrial metal, dub, garage, left-field poetry and verse with a cut-throat delivery and razor-sharp production, we hope this project will be complete by May of this year.

We have been working with rX28 for over 10 years and without his influence, motivation and spirit Burning Studios would not be where it is today so it is with great honour and excitement that we announce this collaboration.

The man himself is truly prolific and vast quantities of past work have been unleashed over the years. You may have one of his fabled mix tapes (which I might just start digitising and uploading), or you may have heard one of his many collaborations with other artists including Seizure, Defazed, Headphobe, Sidewayz and Taradiddle. Check out our portfolio page for a few teasers.

Ste Darling has written some new songs and will be coming to Burning Studios this weekend for a two-day session. Laying down acoustic guitar, bass and vocals with him has generated some excellent results which we can tease you with below. His new EP is really coming together and we will continue to post updates as progress is made.

We want to let you know that Tasha Williams is collaborating with us on the project. She is a singer/songwriter with a great voice and also an accomplished pianist, who also creates original visual art which you can see here . Brass and cello may also feature in the tracks which we hope will be finished over the next few months.
