STUDIOS
Dartrkunk Recording has been around for a few years but based mainly in Beijing PRC, while now we're officially in St Marys Tasmania.
​
Over the last 10 years the studio has had, like so many on the road several different locations, growing in size right the way through this period of time.
​
Presently it's located nearby to the St Mary's township not more than 15 minutes from downtown.
​
During 2022 Darktrunk's facility will offer both mobile recording options right the way through Tasmania and also offer recording facilities for those who want to travel and spend time on Tasmania's East Coast and record their new album or project. Updates to come on this.
