Sounds Studio & Sometimes Radio
Streaming Daily
The Sounds Studio is the beating heart of The Standard, London’s musical programming set within the ground floor’s Library Lounge and the home to our lockdown project, Sometimes Radio. A recording booth, a performance pod, a living magazine – the Sounds Studio is a broadcast recording venue that with the open of a window can act as a public stage to hotel guests and beyond. Listen to fresh mixes, panel discussions and archive sessions from the Library Lounge below at Sometimes Radio.
