I was in London today and eager to work out some new song numbers with a mate of mine. We happened…read moreupon 'The Joint' in a google search, and decided to give it a try. Fantastic! The place is conveniently located close to Kings Cross Station in central London. The rooms were huge and had all the usual gear you need. Amplifiers, mics, sound proofing, and as well tuned grand piano for me to work on. The staff is very knowledgeable and came to our aide with electrical leads and there is even a nice snack bar next to rows of drums, electric guitars and everything you need to jam. Really well stocked and even lockers if you want to store stuff there. Give this place a try -- you won't be disappointed.

Do you remember that super cold week when the "Beast from the East" brought Siberian snow to…read moreLondon? Well, my central heating broke down just then ... and I ventured out into the cold in the middle of the night to pick up a portable heater I had stored at a nearby 24-hour storage facility. So there I was stomping through the snow down deserted streets just to hear the sound of music getting louder the closer I got to my local Shurgard ... pure winter magic and I was upset to be on a mission (and didn't really want to go exploring with a heater under my arm while the cat was shivering at home). Anyhow, that's the long story of how I discovered that there was a music studio in the backwaters of Latimer Road. This is exciting news, the music's returning to West London, no longer just behind closed doors (there is a well established recording studios on the actual Latimer Road but they don't have parties for the public). That cold night I missed a live gig of new music but I have been following the pirates ever since on social media and loved last night's Pirate Sessions Launch party. Perfectly sized venue under the tube arches, next to what is left of the local industrial estate. Five stars for bringing the cool back to West London, in a perfectly sized venue, with a very affordable bar, good mix of people and, most importantly, great music.

Such a historic place to see! It was everything that I thought it would be. (Didn't mean to…read morerhyme....lol) My mother and I really wanted to see THE sidewalk and Abbey Road Studios so we jumped on a train and we there in about 30 minutes. You get off the train and pretty much walk straight and you run into the street. I 'accidently' walked up to the front door of Abbey Road Studios and got shooed away by security, which was totally fine as I apparently didn't see the big 'Do not enter' sign facing the street. The area is so iconic and a must-see for any Beatles or even a general music lover.

This is basically Fopp, if it were taken over by hippies on their way to WOMAD.

While looking for a electronic music production course in London, I did some research on the…read moreschools that I initially found on the web. 90% of them I immediately decided not to give a chance due to the lack of songs produced by their tutors. The other 10% were the expensive ones and after visting them I realised that they weren't worth the hype at all. When I was almost forgetting about the course, I saw Abstract Source's website and I could not believe that the guy that had produced all those amazing songs was giving lessons, specially with that price. I decided to meet him and I saw that I had finally found the place to be. It was definitely the best choice. I learnt so much things about music production in so little time. The classes were so much fun and full of information. It was a great experience learning and sharing the same passion which is electronic music. Now after finishing this course I can say that I made a really good friend and hopefully a future music partner!!
