Long-Term Recording Studios: Collaboration Among Artists
Collaboration is at the heart of creativity in music. It’s through the sharing of ideas, skills, and inspiration that artists can truly push boundaries and create something extraordinary. At Ten87, we’ve made it our mission to provide not just a recording space but a thriving community where musicians, producers, and other creatives can connect and collaborate.
Here’s why our long-term recording studios are the perfect environment to foster collaboration and why artists from all over London are calling Ten87 home.
Long-Term Recording Studios: Building a Community of Creators
When we founded Ten87 in 2014, our vision extended beyond offering high-quality studios—we wanted to create a hub where artists could come together, share ideas, and inspire one another. Today, with 50 state-of-the-art recording studios housing over 150 artists, we’re proud to see that vision realised.
In a long-term recording studio setting, artists aren’t just passing through; they’re building roots. This permanence creates opportunities for organic collaboration and networking that short-term sessions simply can’t match.
The Benefits of Collaboration in a Long-Term Recording Studio
- Shared Inspiration and Knowledge
Being surrounded by like-minded creatives means exposure to fresh ideas and techniques. Whether it’s a producer sharing a unique mixing trick or an instrumentalist introducing a new style, collaboration helps push creative boundaries.
At Ten87, the diversity of our community ensures that artists across genres and backgrounds can come together. From hip-hop producers to classical composers, everyone has something to bring to the table.
- Spontaneous Creative Opportunities
Unlike short-term studio hires where artists come and go, long-term rentals allow for ongoing relationships to form. This environment fosters spontaneous collaborations, whether it’s jamming on a track, co-writing a song, or helping with a live performance setup.
With 24/7 access to your studio at Ten87, those late-night sparks of creativity can be shared with others who are just down the hall.
- Networking for Career Growth
In the music industry, connections can be as valuable as talent. Long-term studios provide a unique opportunity to meet not just fellow musicians but also producers, engineers, and other industry professionals.
Our artists have formed partnerships, produced for one another, and even started entirely new projects—all because they crossed paths here at Ten87.
How Ten87 Facilitates Collaboration

- Fully equipped spaces: Ready for your next session, with no time wasted setting up.
- Air-con and fresh air systems: Ensuring you and your collaborators stay comfortable during those marathon creative sessions.
- All bills included: Focus on your music without worrying about hidden costs.

Real Stories of Collaboration at Ten87
Our long-term residents are a testament to the power of collaboration. Over the years, countless projects have been born within our walls:

Why Choose a Long-Term Recording Studio?
While short-term sessions have their place, they often lack the consistency and community needed to grow as an artist. Long-term rentals provide:
- A Dedicated Space: Your studio is your own, offering a stable environment to perfect your craft.
- Deep Connections: Being part of a resident community fosters meaningful, long-lasting relationships.
- Creative Freedom: The flexibility to explore projects without the constraints of limited time.
At Ten87, we believe that music is a collaborative art form, and our long-term studios are designed to nurture that spirit of cooperation.
