Testimonials

“I had a Great recording session with Chris. He is an awesome producer and has a lot of experience. With him I've been able to find out what were the best ideas and options working with the sound and the song structure. The studio has a beautiful vibe, I will always be thankful to Chris for his help.”

Dario Rabasco

“I absolutely loved working with Chris! He offered valuable input and listened to all my ideas and guided me to get the best out of myself and made me feel very comfortable in the studio booth despite my nerves every time we start a new track. I would definitely recommend him as both a producer and musical mentor. 10/10 service rating.” .

Melanie Valentine

"I am very fond of my collaborations with Chris. Whenever I have needed last minute sound work done he has always come through for me. Very reliable, sensitive to an artist's needs and super quick delivery time. I highly recommend him."

Nathan Hill - Movie Producer

“We have done 3 recording sessions with Christopher Sprake of Last Match Recordings. On each occasion we were well looked after. Christopher was organized and responsive to our questions. The studio was spacious and our variety of instruments were catered for. Ten out of ten!”

Kaylah, Bellyslap Middle Eastern Drummers

“I had a great couple of days in the studios at LMR... relaxed atmosphere, great rates, and we managed to meet my highly ambitious target of six songs in two days. Chris is also very approachable in planning what you want to do leading up to studio time, and following up afterwards.”
