Decloak Music Studios Forced to Vacate Manchester Home Following Developer Buyout

Today we say farewell to the bunker studio at Marlsboro house. Seven years since the inception of Decloak Music Studio in the basement of this building it is time to part way. From floods, robberies, crumbling walls and even ghost sightings the place was a labour of pure, unadulterated love. Friends were made along with a mountain of music from many people who came through our doors.

We knew the writing was on the wall however. Recently the property was purchased by the owner of Boohoo.com, a business located around the corner from ours and one who has been redeveloping large parts of the city centre. Last month tenants of Marslboro House were served notice bringing to an end our time here over the past seven years. It is one of the final city centre bastions of independent, creative spaces, so the loss of the building is far greater than the loss of Decloak’s home.

We cannot thank enough everyone who has supported and believed in Decloak Music, and I can not thank enough those who have been that positive about the services they received it has meant I have barely had to run a single advert in four years - seriously, thank you!

But this is certainly not the end. Decloak will be continuing to help anyone looking for support in underground electronic music production. With the massive influx of online students over the past 6 months a larger amount of our focus has moved over to this format.

Decloak Music and the services we offer lives on in the next chapter of the story and I look forward to giving more details on this in the next few weeks.

Much love,

Decloak Music
