The story

In 2022 the flood took The Borough, the studio Skritch had built over a lifetime. During the long rebuild, a temporary room called Exile kept the work going as recovered gear was restored, one piece at a time.The SkyPad is what grew out of it: a purpose-built studio high above the flood plain, where lovingly restored instruments and equipment sit alongside new gear.With more and more music being made in the room and nowhere for it to go, SkyPad Records was started to get it out to listeners.
