The MD Demo Competition

WIN A DAY IN A TOP LONDON RECORDING STUDIO

The Music Directory is offering you the chance to spend a full day in a top recording studio in our brand new demo competition.

The winner will enjoy a 12 hour session at KORE studios in London to record and mix a track with the help of professional engineers.

The Magic Numbers, Guillemots and Kate Nash have all recently recorded at the studios and Kore’s client list includes XFM, the BBC and major labels; EMI, Island and Polydor.

Kore is a purpose built recording facility in West London, housed in a 2,000sq ft warehouse and laid out over two floors. The studio has a large, naturally lit recording space with additional iso-booths, a state of the art control room brimming with top of the line outboard gear and a great 2nd floor chill out space. A fully loaded Pro tools rig handles all recording duties and the microphone cupboard is one of the best in London.

The team at Kore understand that there is vast untapped potential in the unsigned market. As the record industry becomes increasingly polarised people seem less likely to take risks and work on encouraging and developing new talent. With this in mind Kore is offering this unique opportunity for up and coming bands to enjoy a professional recording experience absolutely free. Hopefully this will provide some insight into what is involved and required. That way, when you do come to record that world beating first album, you will know what to expect.

If you aren’t successful in this competition then get in touch with the studio directly as they will offer great package deals for unsigned acts – just let them know The Music Directory sent you!
