Matrix opens its doors in the basement at 35 Little Russell Street in the West End to little fanfare. Former Dairy Plant becomes home to the burgeoning punk scene, affectionately called, ‘The Ashtray.’

3 unknown scruffy guys walk through the doors calling themselves The Police, one in a sweater that looks like a bumble bee. The nickname Sting sticks. They record a few tracks. Roxanne makes it to number 6. Eddie Murphy famously remakes the song in the huge film 48 hours.

Sex Pistols stop by. They don't save the Queen, nor their Bollocks.

London Calls. The Clash record their smash album at Matrix Wessex Studios. Their famous album cover becomes a UK postage stamp. Queen Victoria squirms in her grave.

Marianne Faithfull makes a huge comeback at Matrix with Broken English. Mick laments the day Marianne broke up with him.

Matrix spearheads the Brit Pop explosion in the 90’s. The likes of Oasis, Blur and Coldplay descend on the studios, while The Rolling Stones, Grace Jones and Prince make their appearances from time to time.

Nigel buys Wessex Studio from & Sir George Martin, producer of the Beatles. The space was originally a Victorian church named St. Augustine’s, built in 1881. He inherits the legacy left by Queen and King Crimson. Rumour has it that one of the confessionals was converted to a sound booth resulting in a spritely combination of prayer and music.

Nigel continues to develop emerging talent. The Sugababes become a huge UK success. Noted for their legendary catfights and #1 hits, they bring lots of school girl pop energy to Matrix.

Mezzo-soprano and grime meet under one roof. Adele and Stormzy both record major albums at Matrix. No, he did not wear his Banksy Union Jack vest to the studio. Yes, he did bring his two massive Rottweiler security dogs with him.

Fast forward. Nigel brings on partners to take Matrix Parsons Green to the next level. The infamous plastic ivy, tropical conference room and 1970s style bathrooms don’t make the cut.

Matrix relaunches the brand and begins significant interior upgrades. On-site gym, plush carpets, stylish wallpaper and plenty of velvet sofas planned.
