[edit] History

The facility was converted from a laundry in South West London in 2000 by main partners Francesco Cameli and Malcom Aitkin (formerly general manager of Sir George Martin's Air Lyndhurst facility).

Managing director Francesco Cameli originally studied bass at Berklee College of Music in Boston in the United States. As an audio engineer and Pro Tools operator, Cameli has worked along side record producers and engineers such as Glyn Johns, Chris Kimsey, Nick Davis, Don Gilmore, Simon Rhodes, Steve Mac and Tony Taverner.
