What you get

Every session includes

Whatever length you book, the room comes whole.

The full room

Control room, treated vocal booth and lounge — the whole studio is yours for the block you book. No shared time, no one waiting on you.

Your pick of the mic

A Neumann U87 for air and sheen, or a Shure SM7B when the vocal wants grit and control. Choose when you book and it is patched, levelled and waiting.

Reference monitoring

Two sets of monitors in a custom-treated room, so what you hear is what you actually made.

An engineer, if you want one

Add a professional engineer to any session. Come in alone and self-record, or have someone run the room for you.

Any hour you need

The room is available around the clock. Book a 2 a.m. session the same way you book a 2 p.m. one.

A comfortable room

420 friendly, projector screen and PlayStation in the lounge, and a neighborhood that has everything you need within a block.

The space

Built for artists. Designed for sound.

The room, and the block

Set up for a long night

Sessions run long here. The room and the neighborhood are built for that.

Open 24 hours

Overnight sessions are normal here, not an exception.

Projector screen

Big-screen playback in the lounge — for visuals, film or just watching the game between takes.

PlayStation

Because a 12-hour session needs a break in the middle of it.

Lounge

Leather seating, room for everyone who came with you, and far enough from the desk to talk.

420 friendly

The lounge is 420 friendly — smoke with your people while the session runs.

Treated vocal booth

A real isolated booth with custom acoustic treatment.

Street parking

Street parking throughout the neighborhood — no garage, no validation to sort out.

Refrigerator

Room for whatever you brought — keep the drinks and the food cold through a long session.

Food within walking distance

Some of the best food in the city is a few minutes from the door, and a lot of it keeps our hours.

Everything you need is on this block

Kyochon Chicken

Korean fried chicken, a short walk from the door.

All’ Antico Vinaio

Florentine sandwiches, and big enough to feed the whole session off one order.

The Loft Coffee Shop

Coffee for the back half of a long session.

K Pasa Tacos

Tacos around the corner when the session runs late.

The Artist Tree

Licensed cannabis dispensary, within a block.

Liquor Store

Also within a block.

Best of the Nest

Producers send beats. You vote

A running competition out of the studio. Studio Members send in two beats each, every account votes the field down to two, and those two go free for anyone recording here.
