We love Rugby! Well this weekend we do, because the Saracens have got a big match at Wembley on Saturday. They came to our humble recording studios a month or so ago to record their new club anthem Stand up for the Saracens. The original Stand up for the Champions was originally written by those wonderful veterans Right Said Fred, they remixed especially for the Saracens and came to the studio to record the new version.
We had a fun time getting 40 rugby players and Right Said Fred into our Live room for their recording, trying to get them all to sing in tune wasn’t so easy but we did it and in between all the fun we did manage to get a great recording so…… if you’re in London, and more specifically at Wembley this weekend, listen and watch out for a special version which will be sung live by Right Said Fred right before the game!

Meet Clover, she is the brains behind a new (& as yet unnamed) duo who are hoping to take the R&B world by storm.
We chose Resident initially because of how it looked, their website caught my eye & we haven’t looked back. We will be doing all our rehearsals and recording here, it’s great!
We don’t have a name for the band at the moment & still working on all our website links, stay tuned for our first single though which should be out soon called ‘Not that Kind of Girl’ cos we are planning world domination!’’
Domination indeed! We are all looking forward to that.

He’s one of our most prolific clients, and one of our favourites too. Here’s what he had to say about his recent comings and goings at Resident:
“I began using Resident Studios a few years ago rehearsing in the Live Room with my band, as it’s only down the road from me. What started as a handy recording studio in LondonPosted by admin in What's occurring Tuesday, 16 March 2010 13:31
Kilow has become a bit of a regular here at Resident since rocking up at the beginning of the year to record his second mix tape. It’s called The Grand Entrance and should be ready to hit the publics ears soon (Resident is still in the final stages, so be patient!)
I came across Resident on the internet and had such a nice experience on my first day of recording that I’ve been coming back ever since. Resident is different from other studios, they’ve taken care in getting my sound just right. I really like how they’ve made my voice come across on the recordings too.”
We think Kilow has oodles of talent and a very original sound indeed, check him out on www.myspace.com/therealkilowarmani

Meet Stefan Maignot; he’s been busy working with our resident engineer Sean Douglas recording & mixing new track ‘Drag Me Back’.
I managed to have a quick chat with Stef during a rare break from a busy schedule; here’s some stuff!
Stefan is part of 3rddaysyndrome, a song-writing & production team whose core business is music, music, music.“It’s a collaboration between myself, Scott Bell Chambers, Art Jazz & Trumpet Andy and it’s a really exciting time for us right now. We’re in the process of releasing 3 E.P’s on the 3rd day of every month from March. I guess the main aim is to promote the fantastic artists that we’re working with and also to generate more work for 3rddaysyndrome as songwriters.
We’re promoting the project via Facebook, MySpace & Twitter with blogs & flash video to really push our sound out. We’re also going to advertise with our remix partners and will have house, dubstep and more remixes of our tracks; the idea is that established DJ’s will play the remix best suited to the type of genre they play in their clubs. It’s a very exciting time for 3rdaysyndrome and we’re hoping that all this frantic activity will draw attention to us as songwriters. We like to think we can offer them something a bit different. We’re also thrilled to have Kavanc on board doing vocals for this track, he’s one of Wiley’s top guys & really knows his stuff (RS is impressed!)
We chose to record ‘Drag Me Back Me Back’ at Resident because we knew other successful songwriters and musicians who recommended it. We’re so impressed with their attitude & professionalism and they have been supportive of our project from day 1. Their competitive rates are well within our meagre budget and we’re having lots of fun at the same time. We’re looking forward to getting more involved with future projects later this year.
Stefan is also responsible for www.punkcash.co.uk a fantastic scheme aimed at musicians who need to earn a bit of money before they hit the big time! You’ll find discount vouchers, grants & funding ideas, job search sections & features on different things you can do to make cash. You can also take a long hard look at www.3rddaysyndrome.com and be the first to hear new recordings, get free downloads, blogs galore and much, much more
It a busy year for these guys, and Resident Studios is thrilled to be part of it. Don’t forget to check out their websites & stay tuned on our site to hear the finished version of the their track.
See you soon
Steph@RS
