The project aims to raise enough funds to help finish the new Prince Fatty Mixing Studio based at the Fox & Firkin in Lewisham, London
by Prince Fatty in London, Greater London, United Kingdom
If we secure the stretch target I will be able to upgrade security, extra wiring required for live rooms, service my tape machines and restore some vintage pieces of equipment that I own. I will also be able to accelerate the renovation of other rooms within the studio complex to include an overdubbing room for percussion and vocals!
To anyone who has enjoyed the musical works of Prince Fatty over the years… I am asking for your help. Right now, I really need your support to help me complete my new studio and keep dubbing in the analogue tradition. In return I am offering you some exclusive music and rewards, and the promise of continued musical works in future.
The Fox and Firkin have kindly provided a space above their live music venue in south London to build my new mixing studio. This is a fantastic opportunity to create an amazing space to produce and record in. It means I will be able to create a wealth of new music for you to enjoy – with some of your favourite artists passing through. The studio will guarantee our musical output.
I enjoy a challenge and the potential here is enormous. But, so far It has taken longer and cost more than planned. We have completed the basic structural renovations and the new electrics are installed. However, this has been a costly procedure and we have now run out of funds to pay for the materials for the next phase. The money raised will help complete the flooring, install the soundproof doors and pay for the power conditioner required. Then I will be all set to create some magical music and take you on a mystic journey.
This will be no ordinary recording studio. Thanks to the layout of the venue, we will be able to run permanent microphone lines down to the live stage on the floor below. This will allow us to capture the bands’ live performances at studio quality at the flip of a switch and also use the space as the main live room for recording. Once complete, the studio complex will become a hive of activity, overflowing with fresh music for your ears.
I truly believe this will bring about some incredible historic recordings, capturing the unique energy of those live performances, and help the artists appearing at the Fox & Firkin by delivering high quality recordings of their shows.
It's no secret that all of us in the music community have suffered during the last two years and the winter ahead is going to be a tough one! I also understand that everyone has faced financial hardships during the pandemic so anything you can spare to help will be greatly appreciated.
If you are familiar with my past work, you will know that many of the greatest musicians are always involved. To help me keep doing what I do best and also support my team of artists, please select one (or more!) of the rewards in the right-hand side bar, that I have put together especially for you! These range from unreleased dubs by Nick Manasseh and myself all the way up to a private 2 hour show with myself and Shniece.
Massive love and thanks in advance for your support.
