A sound that refuses to be pinned down. Punk rock vies with psychedelia, heavy metal and performance poetry with sax from X-ray Spex and Hawkwind.

With the advent of affordable digital recording it is possible for any band to record themselves, but not everyone has the technical know-how or good enough equipment to produce something that captures the full energy of their live performance.John Y

The latest release from the SLPC Recording/Mixing/Mastering project and thanks to Nath for the great review of the album and the mention!

"This is another pulsing beat from the heart of the South London DIY punk scene. Local Mad Man are one of many of the scene’s bands who have been recorded by John Youens of South London Punk Collective/Slow Faction in sessions at Deptford’s Overdrive Studios. These sessions capture the energy, passion and rawness without sacrificing quality. Played by DIY punks, recorded by DIY punks in a studio run by DIY punks"

I'm often asked who they "sound like". The difficult part in this question is the answer. I don't have one. I don't have another band in my brain that i can compare them to. "They are AWESOME" , is usually my go to answer. "If the band Tilt made a cross over album this would be it", is my follow up....

Fantastic review of the Swaraj Chronos session that Mao and I recorded at Overdrive Studios last year.

Nath really encapsulates the vibe of our one day recording sessions in the following paragraph and I really want someone to make up some t-shirts with “Punks At The Controls” on them for the SLPC Recording/
Mixing/Mastering projects that I do 😊

“This is very much a punk DIY family production. Whilst the band didn’t literally do it all themselves, the recording was produced by the wider family. It is one of a growing number of sessions produced by John Youens of South London Punk Collective and the band Slow Faction, and Mao Holiday of The Babes. The recording session took place at the wonderful Overdrive Studios run by the John and Sarah from P.I.G. I have heard stuff recorded in far more expensive studios with professional producers that managed to flatten out all the energy. This demonstrates that sometimes the only way to get good punk music out if a studio is to make sure punks are at the controls.”

Swaraj Chronos - Sinners (self released) CD/Download Out Now The debut from South London DIY punks Swaraj Chronos fuses elements of punk, post-punk

Review of the Anymal Function release in Czech!

Anymal Function je polská punková kapela, pocházející z Londýna, která fakt mocně sype. No a tahle parta vydala na začátku ledna novinku s názvem In Constant Use. Sedm skladeb se stopáží kolem dvaceti minut s pořádně špinavým zvukem, který si kapela nahrála DIY v Overdrive Studi...

In between Dinosaur Skull mixing/mastering duties and recording P.I.G. in November, been doing a spot of mastering for Noose...

Great songs, very well recorded and definitely would welcome down in London for a South London Punk Collective gig...

Anyway, check this song out!

SLPC Recording & Mixing
SLPC Recording & Mixing offers free one day demo recording for bands in London. Our method is very much like a ‘John Peel’ session – set up the full band, record a session live in the room – fully mic’d kit and instruments, overdub vocals and finished.
Tracks will then be loaded into Cubase and mixed – happy to do a couple of revisions within reason The individual tracks can also be sent to you if you wish to mix yourselves or we can recommend the paid services of professional mix & mastering engineers if you prefer.
This free service is aimed at bands who want a quick demo which, depending on the results, can be released or simply serve as preparation & practice for recording in a fully-fledged professional studio.
The only cost to the band is hiring Overdrive studios where our drum mic gear is stored.
