284 is where it's at…read more We tried many others in Brighton and then we tried out Studio 284 and we haven't looked back. The amps are beefy, the rooms are a good size, the people who run it are as sound as they come, the rates are excellent, the location is great. As we are a doomy kinda band we really needed a place that would feel like it suited our vibe, there is no way we can work in the clinical white washed practice studios around the rest of Brighton where the amps cannot cut it against our drummers kit. This place has character, it is grimey and that is why we like it.

If you can look past the unkempt state of the place, what you have a perfect place to make the…read moreloudest racket possible. This probably isn't somewhere for the sort of band who need the absolutely cleanest and precise sound possible but if you want to play loud, you can't go wrong. Amps are big, brash marshalls, bass amps are gallien krueger (was when I last went), drum kit isn't the cleanest but does the job. The PA is some old work horse that will easily get over the top of the backline. Austin who runs the place is an absolute gent and if he likes you and your music, he can be one of the most helpful and supportive people to know (I know he's helped me out no end with equipment issues in the past). 284 also have recording studio service and I'd advise going along checking out their back catalogue if you play the more thrash metal/punk side of things and a mean guitar tone can be achieved.

In my opinion Brighton Electric is the best rehearsal studio in Brighton. With such a wide…read moreselection of gear it's perfectly feasible for you to try any number of different amps in a single session. This large selection of gear combined with competitive prices, professionally maintained rooms and unrivalled selection of refreshments makes Brighton Electric a clear winner for me. Also, the rooms are tastefully decorated making them a welcoming environment for creative people. As the recording studios have recently undergone much renovation, the standard of the entire complex has just moved up a notch. Having played in sessions for many local bands I can vouch for the supreme quality of sound that's easily achievable in either studio. The first-class quality of Brighton Electric is exemplified by the sheer amount of top names that have previously worked there. These include The Cure, British Sea Power, The Noisettes, The GO! Team, The Kooks, The Maccabees, Blood Red Shoes and Johnny Truant to name but a few. With a toasty maker and sheltered outdoor section there really isn't a studio in Brighton that comes close!

Out of all the rehearsal studios in Brighton, Brighton Electric is undoubtedly the best…read more Friendly and knowledgable staff, coupled with a wide range of rehearsals rooms to choose from that are fully equipped, make Electric the preferred rehearsal space in town. As a vocalist, I like to use my own microphone, but on the occasions where I forget, the staff spray their own mics with a special mic disinfectant before each use, which puts my mind at ease about all those icky germs! Considering the sizes of the rooms available and the quality of equipment, the rates are excellent. There is also a seating/cafe area where you can buy hot drinks, Bagelman bagels and other snacks. There is also a small kitchen area for your to make your own tea/coffee if you wish, and cups, instant coffee/tea are provided. There are a lot of rehearsal studios in Brighton, but electric is always my first choice.
