What Revolution Recording does

Revolution Recording is a Toronto-based premium recording studio complex operating an 8,500 square foot, three-room facility (Studio A, B, C) in the Leslieville neighborhood at 36 Laing St. The studio serves professional recording artists, bands, producers, and composers across genres including rock, pop, jazz, classical, and hip-hop, with a named client roster that includes Rush, One Republic, Feist, Three Days Grace, Alexisonfire, Broken Social Scene, City and Colour, Alvvays, Gord Downie, Manteca, and Frank Mills. The facility is differentiated by acoustic architecture, a custom Neve console in Studio A, a curated vintage and contemporary microphone and outboard gear locker, 2-inch analog tape capability, and three distinct recording environments suitable for everything from intimate vocal tracking to 45-piece orchestral sessions.

The studio employs Head Engineer Stephen Koszler (two decades of experience with Grammy and JUNO recognition) and Senior Engineer Luke Schindler (OIART graduate with extensive credits including JUNO-nominated and winning albums), with bookings managed by Studio Manager Kim Cooke. Revenue is generated through a professional services model — primarily hourly or project-based studio bookings, in-house engineering services, and exclusive event hosting (e.g., Visa Infinite events). Go-to-market is reputation-driven: the studio relies on word-of-mouth within the music industry, a professional website, and a high-profile artist testimonial page rather than paid acquisition. All bookings are handled via direct email contact with the studio manager, and the business operates independently with no disclosed parent company, funding, or public listing.
