Tread is flexible and sessions can be shaped around your goals. Activities can include:

  • Recording demos, vocals or live sessions

  • Learning the fundamentals of music production

  • DJ workshops using professional decks and mixer

  • Podcast recording and audio storytelling

  • Spoken word sessions and interviews

Whether you are recording your first track, launching a podcast or preparing for a live set, we create sessions that meet you where you are.

Supporting The Next Generation

Tread Mobile Studio is designed primarily for:

  • Young creatives interested in music

  • Those from diverse or underrepresented backgrounds

  • Emerging artists without access to studio space

  • Aspiring DJs who want to learn and practice on professional equipment

  • Community groups and grassroots collectives

  • Youth services, colleges and charities supporting creative development

If you are based in Bristol and have ideas but lack the space, equipment or budget, the Tread Mobile Studio exists to remove those barriers.
