This week I get back to the mobile theme, similiar to my Rolling Stones Mobile studio of the week feature here.

The boat that really does rock!
London’s famous Miloco studios have joined forces with engineer Ben Phillips to launch the very special Lightship95, a recording studio on a ship permanently moored at Trinity Buoy Wharf, East London.
The studio is situated in the hull of the boat which used to house the massive diesel engine.
This studio has everything, great recording facilities, backline and guitars, saloon/rec room, a galley kitchen, outside deck for sunny days (being London they might be few and far between) and a view of the London Skyline.
For more information on the studio go to:

An hour or so south of Dallas-Fort Worth near Waco Texas lies Brian Konzelman’s Ranch Studios.
To quote the studios site:
Hidden deep in the woods along the quiet bank of Texas’ Brazos River, the relaxed and quiet rural atmosphere and rustic surroundings provide a pleasant change from the typical high-pressure recording environment of many other recording studios. A private world-class Neve, SSL, API, Manley, Mytek, Langevin, TC-M6000, Massenberg, Neumann equipped facility set in creative, friendly surroundings.
Sounds great, maybe one day…

Clip from The Kinks “State Of Confusion” which shows the Neve room at Konk Studios.
Konk Studios was set up by the UK group The Kinks in 1971 in Hornsey not far from Muswell Hill, famous Kinks territory.
Apart from The Kinks artists who have recorded there include The Kooks, Blur, Elvis Costello, Steve Winwood, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Tears for Fears, The Cure, Teardrop Explodes, The Bee Gees and many more.
The English Indie rock group The Kooks recorded their album Konk at the studios. The album reached no 1 in the UK charts.
Ray Davies thought about selling the studio in 2010 but in 2011 he said he had another album to do. We’ll find out I guess after the album is completed if the studio will be demolished or not.

The history of the recording studio the RSL Production from Novo mesto goes back to the year 1988. In 2000, the new facilities in the new building, which is considered to be the biggest of its kind in Slovenia, were presented to public. It consists of two studio halls and two additional recording rooms. The additional accommodation facility is appealing to all the musicians who desire to fully create their music surrounded by woods and the colourful Dolenjska countryside. The recording equipment has been supplemented and completed all the time, and the new mixing console Solid State Logic SSL 9000 J set a new standard for analogue recording consoles.
