About RandK Systems
R&K Systems is a music production company focused on studio recording, gigs, pa hire and live sound for new & emerging bands.
DIY Recording
We have developed an affordable system for DIY studio recording. We record bands and then work with a range of producers who mix and master the final result for release on streaming platforms. This delivers high quality music on a tiny budget.
Our Studio Work
We have produced live videos for Southern Fried Groove Queens, that helped them to get gigs. R&K have also recorded the Kabins single “Warm Up”, the forthcoming single “Who Am I To Dream” and their debut Album “Not If, But When”, due for release in 2024. We are also working on recordings for Battle of the Bands winner the Upper Hand as well as Leonard & The Zombies’ debut “Apocalypse” Ep.
