Studio hire near Northampton

Hire the whole studio.

DJ booth | Production suite | Lounge

A private DJ and music production studio in a quiet village just off the M1. When you book, the whole space is yours: practise, record a mix, livestream, work on tracks or record a podcast, on your own or with friends. We meet you, get you set up and see you off, and a recording of your session is included.

Practise & record

3 CDJs, 3 Technics 1210s and a Pioneer mixer, or plug in your own controller. Every session includes a recording of your set, sent by download link.

Stream & shoot content

Set up for livestreaming, with lighting and a booth made for photos and video. Go live, or capture sets for your socials.

Produce & chill

A full production suite with Logic and Ableton, and a lounge at the other end for breaks, listening back or recording a podcast.

The space.

Years of DJing and performing went into designing this studio. There's room to move, breathe and be creative, alone or with friends, and it's the perfect backdrop for photos, livestreams and recording your sets. Everything you need, in a relaxed, friendly setting.

FAQs.

Is the whole studio mine when I book?
Yes. You hire the whole place: the DJ booth, the production suite and the lounge. It’s private, not a shared room.

Do I need to bring my own equipment?
No. The booth has 3 CDJs, 3 Technics 1210s and a Pioneer mixer, and there’s a full production suite. Just bring your music on USB, vinyl or your laptop, and headphones if you have them.

I’ve never DJed before. Can I still come?
Of course. Book a 2-hour Beginner DJ Taster and we’ll teach you the basics one-to-one. For regular sessions, see our lessons.

Can I record my mix?
Yes. Every session includes a recording, sent to you by download link. Book Record & Stream and we’ll also tidy up to 3 moments in your mix so it’s ready to upload.

Can I livestream or film content?
Yes. The studio is set up for livestreaming, with lighting.

When can I book?
Weekday daytimes (8am to 4pm), evenings (4pm to midnight) and weekends when available. Please book at least 24 hours ahead.

Can I use the vocal booth?
Yes. Using it with your own laptop is £10 extra, paid on arrival. If you’d like us to engineer your vocals, get in touch.

What if I need to cancel?
You get a full refund if you cancel at least 48 hours before. With less notice, you can reschedule once for free. No-shows aren’t refunded.

Do you make music for people too?
Yes: production, DJ mix engineering, bespoke music, voice-over and podcast editing. See production.
