ONE Flight Up Studios Talks about their API 1608 Recording Console
One Flight Up Recording Studios is the brainchild of Nick Irving and when you enter the studio you can’t help feel that he has put a lot of time and love into this space – It’s impressive. The space is well decked out and instantly feels comfortable – a place you want to knuckle down and get some serious work done. The first room you enter is the kitchen/chill out room with a couch and coffee machine, fridge and sink. This room breaks off into 2 more rooms. The first is a smaller studio space and the other is the main control room. The smaller studio is a writing, pre production suite and is well equipped with some Neve 1073 preamps and a nice, easy access Vocal booth. Perfect for getting a track into shape and laying down some quality vocals.

BLANCA BONDI KITS OUT WITH GENELEC
Blanca is a new venture by Finnish chef / restaurateur Tomi Bjorck and Wollongong ex pat chef Samuel Cole. Working in many of the top Michelin stared restaurants around the world both these guys know their stuff so I was keen to book a table and sample some of their exciting sounding Japanese inspired dishes. I gathered up some foodie friends who I had previously worked with in kitchens around Sydney and made the journey back a week later.
