Coconut juice production

Skip the palm trees—this music producer is closer than a beach vacation. A rare studio tucked in Murray Hill, it’s the kind of place where beats take shape before they hit the speakers. Electronic artists and vocalists alike stop by to test tracks and refine mixes, no palm fronds required.

The studio sits at 245 E 25th St, New York, NY 10010, between the subway hum and the late-night bodega lights. Four isolation booths keep sessions tight, while modular synth racks feed straight into vintage Neve desks. Producers drop stems at the API 1608 console, and the room’s treated ceiling swallows reflections before they bounce back. There’s no waiting list, just an open patch bay and a clock that ticks past 2 a.m. on busy weeks.

Call 212-555-0199 to book the main floor or the smaller vocal booth—head to the directions if the 6 train’s running late. Midtown’s concrete grid keeps the chaos out, leaving only the sound of dialed-in levels and the occasional elevator ding in the hallway.
