Hello


I've had the pleasure of working with artists such as
Kikagaku Moyo, Rozi Plain, Wendy Rae Fowler,
Leo Tayler, Upupayama, Big Joanie and Bas Jan
with releases on Sub Pop, Memphis Industries,
Kill All Rockstars, Beyond Beyond is Beyond
and Neolithic Recordings.

​I love making records and helping others
fulfil their creative vision,
the magick of capturing sound waves and turning them int

o
electrical energy to evoke emotions. My approach leans towards intuition and performance,
blending live recording with creative sonic manipulation. I currently work out of Press Play in South London
and my own mix room in Kent,
but am happy to work in any studio.

Great session with .otti.otti for his solo project. A collection of sweet, tender songs on just voice and acoustic guitar. Fantastic microphone setup - Flea47 for vocals/general guitar, the classic workhorse Neumann U47 for some guitar detail with a stereo pair of KM184 in NOS spacing for a bit of sound stage and stereo spread. API & Neve pres, Chandler compression. Lovely cooking!

Mixing, mixing lots of mixing! Picked up this cube recently and loving it. Using it at least 60% of the time - 1 # getting balance, finding that space for vocals, kicks and bass is so great. I’m finding working in mono putting the foundation of a mix together, before moving on to my mains really works for me.

How many band members does it take to play a mono synth? / Bren tracking, mixing even a bit of mastering over last few weeks. Plus the Easter bunny left us some dinosaur eggs!

Great drum session with David Keeler at Squarehead studio! Loving the AML mic pres (think Neve) and a nice choice of outboard compression.

Very happy to say I am now able to also offer sessions at this great studio in Kent - 50mins direct train from London Victoria.

Website finally updated! www.klustersounds.com.

Been working lots at Press Play and mixing at my new space. Finally have all my gear back from repairs after the flood of 2020!

Can also offer the option to record at a lovely tracking studio in the 'garden of england' aka Kent (direct line from Kings X) for those wishing to escape the city for a bit.

As always drop me a line about your recording / mixing project.👽

‘Digging’ is out today with the full EP following 10th March Available digitally & on cassette from

Throughly enjoyed recording the EP over a handful of days at making heavy use of the API console. Mixed at my studio in Kent.

Sonically it’s a noise laden slab of rock, featuring ring modulated vocals, motorik grooves with channeled industrial disco energies.

Hello

My name is Chris Smith and I own and run Kluster, a production & recording studio based in Limehouse, East London. I'm a music producer, recording & mix engineer and love working on records!

In the studio I love blending live performances with creative studio processing to create the sound that's in your head!

I also produce music and mix audio for video. I've worked for agencies such as Google, Havas, Awesome Films & The Narrative.

Please give me a shout if you have any questions, would like to book the studio or just want to say hello!
