In recent months, we've seen more artists' bedrooms, living rooms, gardens and balconies than ever before. As a twist, we're going to be letting some favourites highlight their studios & record rooms.
Record Rooms 001 - Casper Tielrooij
Our very own Casper Tielrooij was a natural starting point for our new photo series, in case you ever wondered how his record paradise looked like.
Record Rooms 002 - Sassy J
Next in our artist photo series is a keyhole look into the colourful record room that keeps the ever-zen Sassy J grounded. How many can you recognise / do you own?
Record Rooms 003 - Palo Santo & Coco Maria
It will be another year until we dance to the deep cuts Palo Santo & Coco Maria have gathered from across the world, but we can at least peer into the Record Room of one of our favourite digger duos — and check out their Selectors mix from 2019 if you like the look of this.
Record Rooms 004 - Nosedrip
Our mini-series Record Rooms is back from a short break, and who more appropriate to steer its return than Nosedrip. Stroom's digger extraordinaire has amassed a lifetime's worth unique music that eludes categorisation, and often comes at a cost: either financial or weeks of hunting for that rare gem. Take a closer look at Ziggy's collection below.
Record Rooms 005 - Kléo
In a new Record Rooms, we peak into Kléo's stunning collectors hideaway, one she shares with her partner and fellow DJ Diggy Doug. This colourful record refuge has everything needed to spend hours and hours in – from endless rows of vinyl stacking the walls, a good mix of hardware and even some artwork from her own hands.
Record Rooms 006 - Clémentine
Parisian DJ and LYL radio host Clémentine opens her door to the place she shares with Saint-James, with whom she also runs the Chuwanaga imprint. Endless records, books, art and that lovely rotary mixer too — quite a place to spend hours and hours in.
Record Rooms 007 - Barbara Boeing
Step into Barbara Boeings musical base in a new instalment of our Record Rooms series. The boundless selector may have her collection currently split up between Brazil and her new home in Italy, it doesn't make this tasteful haven of sought-after records, neatly assimilated audio system, design and art any less of a delight to behold.
Studios 008 - Lefto Early Bird
Lefto Early Bird's Record Room is a collector's dream come true. Record-stacked walls with a fortune of jazz, Brazilian bossa, cumbia, African disco, soul, funk and electronics, and of course a set of turntables to string it all together like the Brussels artist himself does best — this right here is a treasure trove of music.
Studios 001 - Animistic Beliefs
Rotterdam electro duo Animstic Beliefs took the time to show us around in their studio. Framed Intergalactic FM posters, pristine hardware and a spliff in a skull: what more could you ask for?
Studios 002 - Anthony Rother
Sandwiched between two walls of racked equipment sits electro producer Anthony Rother. In a return to our Studio photo series, peek inside the Frankfurt firebrand's workshop and get a sense of the sound that has kept him in the game for 20+ years.
Studios 003 - Interstellar Funk
If you ever wondered how Interstellar Funk got his music sounding so sharp, this peer into his studio as part of our photo series should explain a lot. Look at this arsenal of beautiful machines! Big thanks to Abel Minnee for these beautiful shots.
Studios 004 - Kris Baha
This neon-lit hardware hideaway belongs to Kris Baha, who’s sharing this stunning peek behind the scenes. Guitars, synthesizers, drum machines, noodles and chandeliers: vibe check passed with flying colours.
Studios 005 - Loradeniz
Step into Loradeniz' studio! Mics, keys, effect panels and more: the DJ/singer/producer has all essentials for her perplexing work nicely tucked together in this cozy music hideaway.
Studios 006 - Mor Elian
In a new outing of our Studios series, we peer into the home studio of bass-heavy electro queen Mor Elian. Set up small and nifty, it's where the Fever AM head's dynamic production feats come to fruition.
