Parlay Sound, formerly called Radiotron studio, is now part of Parlay label, recording, producing and publishing music of independent artists, music for film and advertising as well as serving as a sound post-production of commercials and films alike.
Since 2018, Parlay Sound is a small sound recording facility in the centre of Prague. It contains two rooms, studio and control room, fully equipped with hi-end gear and music instruments, running Logic and Protools DAWs.
Most of the time, Radiotron existed in my apartment. Radiotron moved to a separate place in 2013, creating an AV production environment with Jan Muchow´s 6or7 studio and our creative agency. From time to time it travels with me DJing, doing live sound, recording on location, post-producing in a office of a production company or, most of the time, melting with another studio to create a unique recording facility.
Artists recording in our studio:
The Prostitutes, Apollinaire, Boy Wonder & The Teen Sensations, Wild Tides, Lazer Viking, Baset, Dogsbodies, FVTVRE, Foxo, Genuine Jacks, tribute song Za 100 let
Films:
King Skate (OST), Poupata (OST), DonT Stop (OST), Dvojka, My 2 (OST), Desire Will Set You Free
