Calgary's Recording Studio
Celebrating 34 years in business
Airwaves Recording Studios Ltd. is Calgary’s longest running recording studio, still under the same management. In 2024, we will be celebrating 34 years in business. Danny Patton, the owner and chief engineer, has also played in some of Calgary’s most prominent bands, such as the Unusuals and Beautiful Joe.
Danny has numerous gold records and Junos to his credit. He has worked with artists across the board. Jann Arden, Rage Against The Machine, Tegan and Sara, Ian Tyson and The Roadhammers to name a few. Danny also engineers, mixes and produces albums for many of Calgary’s hottest acts.
If you have an upcoming project, contact Danny and come and visit the studio.
