We'll Be Right Back, Eventually...

We'll Be Right Back... Just a little something about the current state of the studio.

We’re a little late in posting this news, but due to several reasons, Okzygen Studios is currently no longer operating. There were many reasons behind this decision, but long story short; I moved across the country last year. It’s difficult to run a studio in one province while living almost 2000 kilometres away, so naturally Okzygen Studios in Peterborough, ON, is no more. As saddened as I am…

Hey everyone! Like most of the world, I’ve been spending a fair bit of time lately hunkered in the studio while we wait out the COVID-19 situation. It’s a very curious time to be alive right now, but we shouldn’t just sit idly by and wait just because we’re safe inside. So I dug through some old files, started putting together some old tracks that were abandoned long ago, and over the next few…

Summer Update - 2018

Time for an update from Okzygen Studios! A look into what's been happening the last few months, and a glimpse into future plans.

Hey guys, it’s been a bit since the last update post so figured it was time for a new one! After releasing Megalomaniac a few months ago, we’ve started work on a couple new projects with some local people in town. Doing some band recordings for local champs Peace Sand Rest the last month or so, an awesome psych rock group full of feel-good party vibes, these guys are awesome to work with. Also…

Album Review: Justin Strode - Disaster Inverted | Electric City Magazine

Dubbing himself ‘experimental metal,’ Justin Strode has been recording solo out of Okzygen Studios, his Peterborough-based home studio, since 2009. Focused around rock-god style guitar shredding and a heavy metal-style bombast and theatricality, Strode’s music marries the electric with the electronic, with drum machines, synths, and a harsh, aggressive, industrial ambiance. At times, the songs, …

Electric City Magazine just gave my new EP a review, and they even say some nice things about it! Awesome!

In The Gentle Breeze - 25.11.15

In The Gentle Breeze - 25.11.15: New solo song, just the guitar and some pedals!

I’ve been trying a more minimal approach to the way I jam out some songs lately, trying to make it just about the guitar instead of bringing in any outside elements. This song, In The Gentle Breeze, is just an example of that, and is something I’m going to be trying to do more of as (eventually) part of my song-a-day project. Which…
