Laying down vox for a pop track with quick turnaround. Plus we needed a zoom link with the producers in germany. All was executed to a high standard and with ease. No problems whatsoever. Would return and recommend to others.

It's been a pleasure to work with George on all of our records and we could not ask for more from him or the studio. George's attention to detail when mixing and engineering is second to none and he always gets the best out of the music. We always enjoy our sessions here, whether its recording or mixing, the vibe is professional but easy going and we have always felt relaxed and easily inspired in the space. Would highly recommend to anyone!

I worked with George for my Francis Lung project - George is a brilliant mastering engineer, super attentive to detail and very welcoming of feedback. I really appreciated how he used particular pieces of gear to compliment and accentuate the music. He executed everything in a considered, meticulous and very musical manner. Highly recommend.

Genuinely the finest studio I've ever had the pleasure of working in. A real top quality experience from Parking and load in, to final help with the technicalities of the mastering process and everything in between. The options during recording in terms of gear and spaces is unmatched and the expertise of George and his team are really second to none.

80 Hertz is a wonderful environment for recording, editing and mastering. The team is top-notch, the equipment is state-of-the-art, and the room sounds great (plus looks great for video as well). Highly recommended!

This is a truly glorious space. First things first, the gear is second to none. They have seemingly endless mics, outboard gear and the glorious desk to get any sound you could need. Not to mention the marvellous vintage amps and that perfect piano. Then the people, who are all incredibly skilled at what they do, and wonderful to work with. But my favourite thing is the sound of that live room. It is completely delicious, vibey but tuned to perfection. We spent three days there doing the rhythm tracks for a new EP, and I would happily go back again and again. If you want to sound better than you
