Suff Studio is a purpose built recording studio in Lancashire, run by me - Matt Heap, a producer, musician, recording and mix engineer with over 10 years experience recording music across multiple genres from metalcore through to folk music. I also play guitar and sing in the shoegaze/grunge band Honeyspider and am an active function musician playing bass, guitar and vocals.

My musician and songwriting skills allow me not only to record your music but lend a fine ear to the details of the song itself. As a producer I encourage you to experiment with sounds, layers and harmonies while I experiment with various recording techniques and equipment selection to accomplish an intricate and massive sound.

Had the best experience recording with Matt at Suff Studio. He has the patience of a saint and really gets excited about all the music he works with! He really put his own spin on our tracks and helped to develop our album into something we couldn't be happier with. Could not recommend enough *****

Matt is a great and highly creative engineer, mixer and producer. He really cares about the whole recording process and most importantly, about sound. He's very hands on and gets behind your song from the very moment you step in the studio. He's also a really nice guy too which is always a bonus. I highly recommend him.

Matt did a great job on the Branch To Root record and he tolerated the whirlwind that is me in his personal space so you know he can deal with anything you throw at him.

Working with Matt at Suff Studio was such a great experience. We booked in to record our debut EP with little faith in ourselves and unsure of how the whole process would go. But Matt saw what we had and took it to a completely different level. Super nice guy, someone I could definitely call a good friend by the end of the week. Recommended him to many people x

Suff studio is a great place to record. My band defining lines recorded their first EP with Matt, and couldn't be happier with the entire experience. Matt gives you a comfortable environment to be as productive and creative as possible. It is also refreshing to see that he is genuinely interested in the music you are making , and will suggest ideas/improvements with the experience and knowledge that he has. Highly recommended!

Worked with Matt for the first time about 6 months ago with my band Cleargreen. He’s an absolute lege and his recording and mixing skills are top notch. Listen to Cleargreen -‘Gone’ The proof is in the… pudding. We’re going back in the studio with him next month. Massively recommend this guy. (Available on YouTube now and Spotify, iTunes and the rest from 17.11.18) 5 star

Professional yet laid back atmosphere. Working with Matt at Suff has always resulted in taking our songs up a level. Also makes my usually very uncultured drumming sound HUGE. Range of genres recorded at Suff is incredibly impressive too.

We've recorded with Matt twice and always found him great to work with. Always helpful, full of ideas and keeps a cool head on his shoulders. Looking forward to working with him again!

We worked with matt on our first EP! He was excellent throughout the process. He was fun, informative, helpful, resourceful and understood the bigger picture.
We would definitely consider him for the next record!
