After recording more than 10 albums here I would very much recommend it.” Al Barrow Our brand new single 'Hypnotic' wouldn't be what it is without the amazing work of Mark Mad Hat Stuart at M2 Studios (Mad Hat) Coven!!! Mark produced the single and has been a big part of our sound over the last few years!!! Thanks so much! THE VONICS

A BRIEF HISTORY OF MARK ​

Working originally at  Switch Music in the early 1980s as a 4-track music demo studio, in the late 1980s the name changed to Mad Hat Studios and recording equipment changed to multitrack analogue tape (16 track then 24), which brought the studio in to the professional end of the market.​

Over the years the studios continued to upgrade and expand and now recording and mixing is based around Avid Pro Tools. 
Mark has a great ‘track’ record for quality production recordings of all genres of music from metal and hard rock bands to brass bands, from bhangra acts to hip hop, from folk music artists to jazz combos and continues to do so.
