Since the industry shifted out of South Mumbai towards the suburbs our goal is to to revive the industry in South Mumbai.

An essential for any studio is a well treated room and of course the vibe is what drives the creative process. It is also really important to have the right, well qualified team to be up to any task.

It’s tough to choose one specific gear but if we had to pick, it would be Quested’s and Universal Audio Apollo x8p.
Describe your typical work day in the studio
Everyday is a different experience since no client or project can be the same. Most of the days we are swamped with work but the days we don’t have any client work, we love to work on our original music which we can’t wait to put out. Trust me, you’re not ready for what’s coming your way!

We have a lot of projects in the works with various artists and hope to have some chart topping releases soon.
What’s your next buy for the studio?
Currently some chocolate stash since it got over yesterday but technically, our next buy would be an Avalon 737, Teletronix LA 2A, Moog. We can go on and on!
