Armada Music Group has opened a new 7,000-square-foot multifunctional facility in Shoreditch, London. The space is designed to serve as both a creative hub for local and international artists and an operational base to enhance the company’s support for its roster.
Spanning six floors, the facility includes two high-end recording studios equipped with PMC and Barefoot Sound monitors and synthesizers from Roland, Nord, and Sequential, designed for in-house writing camps.
An event space features an L-Acoustics club-grade sound system with live streaming capabilities and a capacity of around 130 guests. The hub also provides dedicated listening rooms for A&R sessions and accommodates up to 60 full-time employees.
Armada has positioned the London complex as a central part of its growth strategy in the UK, establishing a dedicated creative team under its publishing arm to further support artists and expand Armada Music Publishing’s local headcount.
British singer-songwriter SHELLS commented on the new facilities: “The listening rooms are a fantastic bonus; it’s great to get into a different physical space at the end of a solo session or writing camp to listen back. I’m so excited for this.”
“Working in studios with great acoustics and top-of-the-range equipment truly elevates a session.”

UK dance artist SILK added: “I’ve just recently had my first session at Armada’s new complex, and it’s going to be an absolute game-changer having such a well-equipped, creative hub going forward.”
Maykel Piron, CEO of Armada Music Group, said the expansion reflects the company’s commitment to the UK market.
“We look forward to leveraging this top-notch space to provide best-in-class services for our artists and writers around the world.”

“The UK has always played a crucial role in shaping the global dance scene, and strengthening our footprint here allows us to drive innovation in one of music’s most influential markets.”
Armada opened its first London office in 2017 and has since doubled its UK headcount, with the territory now ranking as the company’s second-largest streaming market.
Recent UK campaigns include Manchester-born DJ and producer D.O.D, whose track So Much In Love reached the UK Top 20, and the re-charting of Mason & Princess Superstar’s 2007 hit Perfect (Exceeder), which peaked at No.26 in the UK Official Charts Company rankings.
Armada’s UK operations also support global artists such as Armin van Buuren, Joris Voorn,Lilly Palmer, THEMBA, and ARTY.
Ben Malone, General Manager of Armada Music UK, added: “This new hub will empower us to further champion local artists, provide them with unparalleled resources, and foster more innovation and creativity in the UK.”
“This is a pivotal moment for Armada and a testament to the UK’s vibrant dance music scene.”
