Made inthe room.
Great records begin with great performances. We bring together musicians, inspiring spaces and expert production to create recordings full of life and character.
Trusted with records that matter.
From major-label releases by Joy Crookes and Rae Morris to full jazz albums with Xhosa Cole, Paul Dunmall and Rebecca Nash, our recording credits span an extraordinary range of music - including a Cubadisco Award-winning album. Whatever the project, artists come to Sansom Studios for exceptional sound, attention to detail and an environment that brings out their best performances.
Hear the work
Record, mix and master in one place.
Work directly with your engineer.
You work one to one with Olly Sansom, a musician who has spent years on both sides of the glass. Sessions are focused but relaxed: arrive with everything prepared, or shape ideas as they come. If you want more, production can include arrangement, performance guidance or co-writing.
“Beyond the fantastic piano, great space and awesome sound, Sansom Studios has what every great studio needs: a great musician as an engineer.”

Musicians keep coming back.
“Olly the engineer really knows his stuff and is always there to make the musicians feel comfortable. I have recorded many times there and the end results are always superb quality.”
“The recording space is fantastic and the piano is of very high quality, two things that are difficult to find in recording studios that aren't at the higher end of the price spectrum.”
“The room also has a beautiful live sound, a wonderful piano and great separation between drums, horns and piano and bass. I would highly recommend the studio as a place to record.”
Take a breath between takes.
A relaxed lounge with leather sofas, warm lamplight and plenty of plants: somewhere to unwind, listen back and talk through ideas between takes.
Tell me about your project.
Whether it is a single, an album or a live session, I will get back to you personally to talk it through. A studio day is £380 for eight hours, with your engineer.
