Miloco One (The Neve Room)
Continuing on from last month's metal mayhem, The Neve VR Room has remained a place where angels fear to tread.
Slipknot were in and stalking the walkways for most of the month, mixing a live album with Colin Richardson,
and with Miloco's metal man Matt Hyde engineering and Jimmy Robertson assisting. Earlier in the month, Steve Dub
was mixing for both The Audio Bullys and the beat-tastic John Truelove, on both occasions ably assisted by
Ben Thackeray. The boys' CVs can be downloaded here: Matt Hyde,

environment with the help of Miloco's 'On my' Ed Kane. For details on the fantastic winter rates now available for this
excellent room please see above.Miloco Three (The Square)

More quality additions to the Miloco cupboards and provisions. The Square in happy Hoxton upgraded its rig to an HD3 and gained a second HD192 interface so it now boasts some 32 outputs. Down at Leroy Street, we've taken some tender loving care to our recreation room to satisfy feet and rumps alike. We treated it to a new floor and two inviting sofas, and it looks just lovely.
