London studio is auctioning off recording time

London recording studio Dean Street Studios are giving new talent the chance to make use of their facilities by selling off their down time.

The studios opened the bidding today, which will allow the auction winner to record for the day on October 28.

Thanks to bidding – which closes on October 27 – a relatively new band could be able to bag time at the studio where Tony Visconti recorded David Bowie and T.Rex in the late 1970s.

Any acts interested can bid for the sessions online now.
