WEBSITE UPDATE As the studio transitions from London to Yorkshire, we're in the midst of a website overhaul. We're working diligently to bring you the most up-to-date visuals soon. While we've successfully updated all other aspects, the current images are not reflective of our new location. Thank you for your patience.

Always great working with JB the mad professor at Buffalo Studio, the ideal place for recording vintage, beefy, old school sounds.

Great studio with a cool 70’s vibe about it, JB is a fine engineer who makes you feel relaxed and gets the best results out of you, and makes your tracks sound wicked! Easy to get to and a good lot of places to grab food or pubs (when open) to have a break in.

Buffalo Studio has been our creative home for the last 3 years and JB is a mastermind behind it's groovy interior. JB not only brings his recording skills to the table but his musical ear when it comes to production, helping with structure, sound and harmonies.

Two days with JB and we got the best recording we have ever been a part of. The studio is great, filled with top quality gear and JB knows how to get the best out of all of it! The entire process was an absolute pleasure from start to end. We'll be going back to Buffalo Studio for sure!

Such a cool creative space, always feel relaxed here.

Amazing studio with great desk/mics/gear and atmosphere!!!

JB has been a part of Bright curse since day one, we enter the studio with songs and get out of there with an album, he is the shadow of Bright Curse. He's always been really helpful and always has the craziest ideas, which we always keep.
