“In my career I have recorded in Airlock studios on three separate occasions. The first time I was an independent artist and I recorded an EP here before I recorded my debut independent album ‘The Game’. The quality of recording from this session really made the difference to the start of my career.  On every occasion I have used Airlock I have always had a fantastic result. The vibe in this studio is really cool and it makes you want to produce great music.”

“It is always a great time at airlock! Between the studio, the beautiful surroundings and my man Ian Hauggy Haug popping his gorgeous head in for a cheeky chin wag I cannot wait to chop it up there again”

“Haugy’s Airlock Studio is brilliant. I did some work there recently with Qld artist Leanne Tenant & loved the vibe there. Ian’s always been a gentleman , friend and rock god but I was stoked to find his studio so good as well. Up in the hills above Brisbane the forest location is great , but the sounds & gear he’s collected over the years make it a special experience. I can’t wait to go back (probably to do some fucked up 70s prog rock with him if he’ll allow it?) Love airlock & Haugy too xx”

“We bloody love it! We’ve been signed to Ian’s label since 2015 and have done countless days out at Airlock. We recorded our eponymous 8 track mini-album and our last full-length album, Barefoot , with Ian! I We always go in excited and nervous about how things are going to turn out but Ian’s knowledge and experience as a producer and an artist has always guided us in the right direction. It is always an extremely fulfilling experience and something we are very grateful for as artists. The in-house sound engineers, Konsty and Yanto are pretty technical dudes and two people an artist/musician can trust. Ian is also an alright guy, he’s quite tall and has a lot of guitars but he means well. – Al & Shag Rock”

“Airlock Studios is more than a recording sanctuary and refuge for BLUSSH. Recording with Steve and accessing all that Airlock has to offer has been instrumental in elevating our work to a calibre we truly believe could not be reproduced outside of those (Airlock) walls. We credit this to how welcomed, nurtured and supported we are made to feel right from the minute we enter the space. Building a masterpiece is a vulnerable and unnerving experience but when the environment is right and genuine support is by your side, its conducive to making magic and capturing the best performance. Steve & Airlock Studios undoubtedly have a midas touch, for us there is no-one else or anywhere else”

“We LOVE Airlock! We had the best time recording at this beautiful studio. Being a band from the bush we loved being able to record in a place that’s surrounded by nature. Such a beautiful place. Steve Kempnich was bloody incredible and we had so much fun recording with him. Ian is an absolute legend in every way and it was such an honour to have rock royalty hangin out with us catching the vibe. Making tunes + yarning about surfing and music; what a recipe for good times! Thanks Airlock!”

“I love the expansive control room enhanced by the natural lighting which floods the space during the daytime.The monitoring is exceptionally balanced around the room And the big J.L.M monitors kick ass; even the near fields fill the entire roomwithout breaking a sweat. The live rooms are some of the best around with a great choice of live or dead spaces and high and low ceiling placements.
There is a multitude of outboard gear so I don’t have to load my car with road cases – everything I need is generally there. My favorite thing about Airlock Studios is that it is home to a great collection of guitars, pedals, amps, keyboards and even some drums! A band could rock up without any equipment and still make a great record!”

“I have done heaps of recording at Airlock. It’s a great studio, away from the hustle and bustle with lots of space to get creative. It’s also got a wide range of great gear and the boss is an alright bloke as well.”

“There’s so much to love about Airlock. It has undeniably been built with love and care, and I have so many amazing memories creating music here.”

“We are lucky enough to have a world class studio in Brisbane and it is Airlock.  Footstomp have worked on incredible albums from AMY SHARK, THE BELLIGERENTS and most recently TIA GOSTELOW.  We will continue to recommend our artists record in the amazing space that is Airlock.”

“Loved my time at Airlock studios. Every time I had an idea and wanted to try something the appropriate gear was there and ready to use. Can’t wait to get back in there and try different setups and room configurations. Thanks to Ian, Steve and Emily for their hospitality.”

“Matt, Josh and myself had an absolutely wicked time recording at Airlock Studios. With guidance from the talented and handsome Greg Jard, we managed to bang out about 8 songs over 3 days, whilst soaking up the sun and the life-saving air conditioner. I’d recommend Airlock without hesitation to all of my muso mates who are looking for an awesome-sounding room with a great vibe.”

“Airlock was an ideal home for the making of our album. The location was beautiful and peaceful, a great place just to hang out and focus on our music. The studio had everything we needed, it was easy to get different drum tones with various rooms, great audio and instrument collection also. Many fond memories!”

“We’re lucky to have a space like Airlock just outside of Brisbane - this beautiful location is a great creative bubble for recording.”
