Natural Studio RecordsNatural Studio Records (NSR) is a label dedicated to the release of quality music, with a focus on new music, emerging/undiscovered talent, location & live recording, and acoustic music. While we aren’t biased towards any specific genre, our ideals are particularly suited towards classical & jazz music, acoustic bands and singer/songwriters. This isn’t a record label in the traditional sense of the word. Each NSR release is a collaborative effort where artist and label are equals. Costs and profits are equally distributed, making for a unique artist/label relationship based purely on a mutual belief and dedication to the project. LATEST RELEASE:

Latest reviews in brief:Matthew McAllister / Merula @ Tokafi.com
It has almost become a general consensus that classical and contemporary repertoire need to be treated fundamentally different. “Merula”, however, works exactly because it defies the dogma. For his debut album, Matthew McAllister has taken the liberty of showing his abilties within the most diverse contexts, of organising a time-travel package through the ages and of recording his own interpretations of “a choice selection of classic guitar repertoire, alongside newer styles of contemporary guitar music.” Agnew & McAllister / Recital @ Classical Guitar
The Agnew/McAllister duo once again show their talents as arrangers in a superb presentation of the Fantasie from “Carmen” where Aisling Agnew displays her highly polished, fluid technique to its best advantage … Throughout this recording the duo handles all the technical and musical requirements with aplomb and have produced a most alluring disc. Agnew & McAllister / Recital @ Tokafi.com
If you can’t catch this duo live, then “Recital” is the next best thing … a work which lures you into loving it by its unintrusive nature … it is vivid and full of the pleasure of being alive
