About RYP Recordings
Founded in 2015 by Michael Smith and Matt Thomas, RYP Recordings was designed as a production house with the intention of shaking up the music industry’s preconceptions of what it is to make a record, and how it should sound. With a love for both classic and modern records, we always create a unique sound for every artist we have in the studio. We work closely with the artist so that we can achieve the sound that they want, whilst giving them a sonic identity. It’s this philosophy that has lead to our artists getting radio play on Radio 1, Radio 2, 6 Music, BBC London and introducing, XFM and featuring on some of Spotify’s most followed playlists such as the USA Viral 50 playlist.
We also realise that making a record is just as much an experience as it is about the music. That’s why we have a lounge area with PS4, Netflix, Sky, free wifi, books, and a kitchenette for preparing food, tea and coffee, for when our artists want to relax between recording.
