About Studio 1
6 Boardroom
Studio 1 serves as the heart of Play Deep Studios, where the legendary Otari 54 series desk commands attention from its central position. This is the only one of its kind in the UK, and we regularly see engineers travel specifically to work with it. The control room opens directly onto our expansive live floor, creating a fluid space that adapts brilliantly for both recording sessions and music events. The room pulses with creative energy, thanks to our carefully curated collection of Neve, UA, and API outboards that line the walls. When we host parties here, the professional gear becomes part of the atmosphere, with guests fascinated by the authentic working environment. Our mood lighting system transforms the technical space into something more social, while maintaining that unmistakable studio character. For smaller gatherings, the control room itself accommodates 6 people comfortably in a boardroom configuration, though most events spill naturally onto the main floor where larger groups can move freely. The acoustic treatment throughout means conversations flow easily without the harsh echoes you find in typical event spaces. Our synthesizer collection, featuring Roland, Akai, and Novation models, often becomes a hands-on attraction when creative types gather here. The building sits just minutes from King's Cross station, making arrival straightforward for your guests. We've found the combination of our professional recording capabilities and social layout works particularly well for listening parties, where artists can actually play back mixes through our main monitors, or industry gatherings where the authentic studio setting creates natural conversation starters. Every element here remains fully operational, from Pro Tools and Logic systems to our complete backline. This means your event happens within a genuine creative workspace, offering possibilities that conventional venues simply cannot match.
