ToneSphere Studios was designed and built by Chris and Ben Threlfall during and just after the original lockdown of 2020. It was made primarily for their use for existing projects but was also geared towards branching out to the public.

The idea was to create a dynamic space to use for a wide range of projects, from recording and mixing to photography, videography, and live streaming.

Coming out of Spain in a haze of neon lights, electro-synth pulses, and eighties rock brilliance is Maxthor, a three-piece with a unique and original retro-futuristic sound.

Forging a broad spectrum of influences, Maxthor takes the irresistible echoes of eighties giants like Phil Collins, Billy Idol, and Survivor and filters them through their lens of synth-driven futurist nostalgia. The results are intoxicating; insanely catchy songs, beautifully crafted and drowned in the electronic atmosphere and synthpop hooks. There’s metal, Italo-disco, and retro aesthetics in the mix - it’s a cocktail of sounds that makes Maxthor a truly unique proposition.
