Maratone Studios

Maratone Studios

Maratone is a music production company, started by two music producers and songwriters, Max Martin and Tom Talomaa. Based in Stockholm, Sweden, it was started in January 2001 after the closing of the Cheiron studios. Maratone moved in at Cosmos Studios after the producerteam Kai Erixon and Kent (Gillström) Isaacs decided to split up after working together for 10 years on numerous productions. Kent (Gillström) Isaacs bought he old Abbey-Raod/Emi Studios that today is Cosmos Studios and houses 10 studios and is all up and running. Cosmos Studios is closely affiliated with Cosmos Music Group.

The first songs to be written and produced at Maratone were four tracks for Britney Spears´ third album "Britney". The Maratone production crew now consists of producers/songwriters Max Martin, Rami Yacoub and Arnthor. Alexandra Talomaa left, and is now running her own studio/production company, named "Maridox Songs".[citation needed]

With Kelly Clarkson's hits Since U Been Gone and Behind These Hazel Eyes, which were produced at Maratone, Max Martin had reinvented himself (together with Lukasz Gottwald) by using a completely different sound than the "Cheiron sound" which he was so famous for. He has continued to use the new rock sound on hits for Pink, Katy Perry, a-ha and many more.
