Hashem Records

Music production in New York often conjures images of high-end studios in Midtown, but some of the city’s most focused work happens in quieter corners. Hashem Records operates out of a second-floor space on Manhattan Avenue, where the hum of the neighborhood gives way to the kind of concentrated audio work that defines independent projects. This isn’t a spot for flashy sessions or celebrity drop-ins—just a place where tracking, mixing, and mastering get handled with the kind of precision that artists rely on when they’re refining a sound rather than performing one.

The address—213 Manhattan Ave, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10025—sits in a stretch of upper Manhattan where residential and creative spaces blur, a few blocks from the pulse of Broadway but far enough to avoid the tourist shuffle. Producers and engineers who work here tend to attract clients who prioritize technical clarity over scene points, the kind of musicians and podcasters who care more about frequency balance and dynamic range than Instagram backdrops. No frills, no gimmicks—just the kind of functional setup that lets a project’s details take center stage.

For anyone coordinating a session or needing to finalize logistics, the simplest move is to call 212-923-4567 and confirm specifics directly. The building’s entrance is unassuming, so first-time visitors might want to pull up directions beforehand—second-floor studios in older New York buildings don’t always announce themselves. What the space lacks in curb appeal, the neighborhood makes up for in character, with delis and bodegas still holding their ground against the slow creep of generic retail.
