Noatune Studios

What Noatune Studios does

Noatune Studios is an independent, founder-owned recording studio headquartered in Hackney, East London, operating four studios (A, B, C, D) within the Netil House complex. Founded by Danish-born Kris (Kristoffer Rylander Jensen) around 2015 and established at its current Hackney location in 2016, the studio provides recording, mixing, mastering, voiceover, podcast, original music composition, and collaborative songwriting camp services. The client base spans independent artists and producers, signed artists on major record labels (XL Recordings, Sony, Universal, Warner, Motown, Ninja Tune, Island Records, Defected), and commercial brands (IKEA, KFC, Netflix, Amazon, Channel 4, Chelsea FC), with a visible artist roster including Clean Bandit, Denzel Curry, Mura Masa, Raye, Cynthia Erivo, Tom Odell, and Central Cee.

The studio operates a hybrid analog-digital workflow combining vintage outboard gear — including original 1979 Neumann U87 and U67 microphones, Neve 1073 preamps, Tube-Tech CL1B compressors, Avalon 737, SSL Fusion, Juno-106, and Prophet Rev2 synths — with modern digital audio workstations (Pro Tools, Logic Pro X) and UAD Apollo interfaces. A signature vocal chain (Neumann U87 → Neve 1073 → Tube-Tech CL1B) anchors the engineering workflow, and the four studios are acoustically optimized for distinct use cases: Studio A for full-band tracking, Studio B for vocals, Studio C for beat-making and producers, and Studio D for songwriting and mixing. The engineering team includes four Premier Engineers (Lucas, Angus, Charlotte, Conor) with major-label credits and over 2,000 sessions logged by Lucas alone.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: hourly and daily studio hire (£35–50/hr or £215–315/day), engineering services (Premier at £65–£70/hr or £450–480/day; Standard at £45/hr), mixing (£200–550/track) and mastering (£60/track), voiceover recording (£80–100/hr or from £500/multi-day), writing camps (£175–240 per participant), and a four-tier monthly membership program (£60–£205/month) that provides discounted recurring access to Studios C and D. The studio operates 24/7 for members, sells exclusively direct via its website and in-person, and has no disclosed venture or institutional funding. Recent strategic partnerships include collaborations with Session Studio (co-founded by Max Martin), Tape It, DPA (Danish Popular Auteurs), and Kyutai, the latter for voice AI training data recording supporting Kyutai's Moshi real-time voice assistant.
