R&K Systems is a Music Production Company
We do studio recordings, music events, pa hire & live sound
DIY Recording
We offer DIY studio recording that puts you in control. We capture crystal-clear recordings, giving you desk mixes to listen back to. Once everything's recorded, we'll give you the raw Wavs or Logic Projects for each song.
We've done this for the Kabins singles “Warm Up”and “Who Am I To Dream”, which Pete Marten mixed and mastered. Pete won “Best Producer” at MIDI TV's Devon Music Awards and The Kabins single was nominated for “Best Single”, so he's great at bringing what's in your head into reality. ANd we've just released their latest single “The Final Show”!
Then we recorded Leonard & The Zombies’ debut “Apocalypse” Ep, which Pete also mixed & mastered….
We've just finished recording the Kabins' debut album and the Upper Hand's debut EP, both due out later this year.

Out Now! The Final Show!
The Kabins 5th studio release and latest single, “The Final Show” is out now!
Lyrically,“The Final Show“ was originally based on a photo of Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington in the days before he took his own life. In the photo, he is smiling with his family looking over a balcony, all blissfully unaware of what was to happen. There is a theory that suicidal people will seem happy and relaxed, as they know they will soon be free of their suffering. “The Final Show“ refers to this idea and the song talks about things you’d find at a theatre show, as metaphors for making sure we look after each other.
