Serving Wakefield Artists

Recording Studio Near Wakefield

Wakefield has a stubbornly independent musical streak, from the bands and promoters behind its Long Division festival to a growing crowd of rappers and electronic producers. Moorcroft Studios gives Wakefield artists a results-focused studio a short, direct drive west.

An independent scene that backs itself

Wakefield's DIY spirit runs deep — Long Division grew out of local promoters putting the city's music front and centre, and that same energy shows up in its indie, rock and electronic acts. It's a scene used to making things happen on its own terms.

We're a natural fit for that mindset: a studio where you get a platinum-selling engineer's ear and a commercial finish, without losing the character that makes your music yours.

At roughly ten miles, the trip from Wakefield is a quick, direct journey along the M62 to a fully equipped studio. Artists come in from across the district — Ossett, Horbury, Sandal, Outwood and Stanley among them — for recording, mixing and mastering.
