"Tom's studio is a palace of creativity with a sense of still feeling, like you're at home and not in one of those brand new White studios with no character... when you're in Tom's studio you feel like you're already about to make something classic before you even touch an instrument"
ADAM JORDAN (Plan B | Maverick Sabre | Jorja Smith)
Tom Donovan's studio is like a magical mystery tour into the mind.. the juxtaposition of the seasoned mechanics and the unjaded energies of not being in London, really made for a transcendental recording experience, Tom also mixes really loud so when you are blazing a fatty after a take you can really feel the 3.7k's in your urethra.. great times, great peoples, great ribena"
