Music Studio Features - About the Beehouse

Music Specialisms at the Studio

The Beehouse records all types of music, but is intensively involved in the recording of modern pop, funk, soul and MOBO, electronic dance, techno, ballad, dubstep, reggae, and prog rock with some forays into folk, easy listening, country and neo-classical genres. Projects which require a knowledge of a number of genres are also welcome. Our recording skills are particularly sought after due our strengths in dance production and vocal recording in this field.

Staff

Your music will be recorded and produced at either of the studios by either Philip or Jane, (sometimes both) on most occasions although we do have reliable support team of other experienced engineers who are also occasionally called on.

Philip Lane

Phil has been professionally involved in recording and music production since the late seventies, and still regularly works with a wide range of experienced and unknown artists of many different genres. His encyclopaedic knowledge of the world of sound production and his ability to put the artist rapidly at ease, and to extract the best possible recording result from any given situation, combined with a hugely creative approach to production and post-production mean that he is much sought after as a first choice for innovative or complex projects.

Jane Lane

Jane has a background in classical piano, and a strong focus on harmony, structure and production dynamics, often contributing to both the initial development and the final stages of a track. Over the past three years, Jane has been focused on the development of her skills in the genres of funk, disco funk, soul, MOBO styles and reggae. She has a teaching background and is experienced at working with a wide variety of ages. Jane can move new materials very quickly from idea form into a concrete structure. As a songwriter, producer and lyricist, she can bring to a project the overview necessary prior to release. Jane has a separate music studio in the wilds of the countryside which may be used for certain specific recordings or music projects.

Noochoon Record Label

Noochoon is a record label associated with the Beehouse music studio. Music from the studio is frequently released under the Noochoon record label - notable artists under this label being Eclips'd, Hookstick, Mike Pratt, and Henry's Machine.
