Founded by Evan Slagle, The Record Room is nestled away in Wong Chuk Hang and is an outstanding recording studio that offers live band recordings, mixing and mastering.

But it\u2019s so much more than that, thanks to its cosy lounge and the amazing natural light that comes in through all the windows. It seems to be the perfect casual yet creative space for musicians and designers to get the job done.<\/p>\n<h3>The beginning of The Record Room<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_157973\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-157973\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-157973 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/The-Record-Room-Evan-Slagle.jpg\" alt=\"The Record Room Evan Slagle\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/The-Record-Room-Evan-Slagle.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/The-Record-Room-Evan-Slagle.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/The-Record-Room-Evan-Slagle.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-157973\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Get your mixing done here<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Despite being a metropolitan international city like London and New York, there isn\u2019t really a predominant corresponding music scene in Hong Kong. In that regards, Slagle saw Hong Kong as an opportunity, and wanted to play a part in creating sounds for the city. Having moved out here from America when he was three, and again for a year in high school, this is the third time Slagle has lived in Hong Kong. \u201cIt&#8217;s always kinda felt like home out of the places I&#8217;ve lived. I had always wanted to come back here, and I had always wanted to do music, so they just all came together in the direction how I wanted to pursue things,\u201d says Slagle about the space.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_157953\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-157953\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-157953 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/The-Record-Room-Evan-Slagle-interview-recording-mixing-studio.jpg\" alt=\"The Record Room Evan Slagle interview recording mixing studio\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/The-Record-Room-Evan-Slagle-interview-recording-mixing-studio.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/The-Record-Room-Evan-Slagle-interview-recording-mixing-studio.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/The-Record-Room-Evan-Slagle-interview-recording-mixing-studio.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-157953\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The recording studio at The Record Room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Record Room has worked with a bunch of different artists in the past year and a half. \u201cWe\u2019re just finishing up an album with this local band Back, they do a lot of stuff at The Wanch. The lead singer is French, one guitarist is American, another guitarist is from Hong Kong, the drummer is Filipino, it\u2019s literally Hong Kong in a nutshell. We did some jazz stuff with a couple of girls that play at Salon 10 and a Sofar Sounds night with English singer-songwriter Jules O\u2019Brien here too.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Evan Slagle: Founder of The Record Room<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_157956\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-157956\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-157956 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/The-Record-Room-Evan-Slagle-interview-recording.jpg\" alt=\"The Record Room Evan Slagle interview recording\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/The-Record-Room-Evan-Slagle-interview-recording.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/The-Record-Room-Evan-Slagle-interview-recording.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/The-Record-Room-Evan-Slagle-interview-recording.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-157956\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Evan Slagle used to study photography in college, and now he focuses more on design and music<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Not only is Slagle the owner of The Record Room, he also works as a designer on the side to keep the place running and pay the bills, as well as being a DJ. Interestingly, it\u2019s not clubroom music or techno which is comparatively more developed in the underground DJing scene here. Since moving back to Hong Kong, it has all been rock n\u2019 roll, 90s hip hop, reggae for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMusic kinda started for me with my playing drums, it was super hardcore, punk rock type stuff. Fast and intense. When I went to university, I didn\u2019t have access to drums anymore, so I picked up DJing and that led to production. That\u2019s when I got really serious about producing, mixing, mastering and learning how to engineer,\u201d said Slagle.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_157955\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-157955\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-157955 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/The-Record-Room-Evan-Slagle-interview-recording-mixing-studio-interior.jpg\" alt=\"The Record Room Evan Slagle interview recording mixing studio interior\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/The-Record-Room-Evan-Slagle-interview-recording-mixing-studio-interior.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/The-Record-Room-Evan-Slagle-interview-recording-mixing-studio-interior.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/08\/The-Record-Room-Evan-Slagle-interview-recording-mixing-studio-interior.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-157955\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The interior of The Record Room has got quite an edge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Having lived back in Hong Kong for two years, Slagle feels that there has been a big jump in the music scene, in the sense that many local acts are getting more serious about their craft and the quality of the music is getting a lot higher. When asked about what The Record Room is hoping to do in future years, Slagle replied with a grin, \u201cI just want to push it more.
