Repairing Hammond Organs, Building Studio Monitors and Borrowing Horses…

In this episode we’re sitting down with Mark and James from Present Day Production (PDP), the brilliant minds behind MUM - the modular upgradable monitor! We talk through their wild journey from Mark’s early days repairing Hammond organs, to the moment a young James rocked up to Mark’s studio for a band rehearsal and basically never left. Together, they spent years running an all-in-one studio service before a COVID-induced reset led them to launching their YouTube channel, racking up millions of views with their notoriously unhinged videos featuring more horses and paragliders than you’d expect… Now, they’re entering a brand new chapter at School Farm Estate; workshop setups, exciting collaborations, and a sneaky first look at Studiology, their upcoming online venture packing 35 years of music industry wisdom into one place!
