Nu House Studios

Studio less than an hour from Boston & Providence specializing in recording, mixing, mastering, and session work.

A safe space for queer musicians to record huge riffs. Nu House Studios is located in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, minutes outside of Worcester and less than an hour from both Boston and Providence. While officially established in 2020, we (Aki McCullough & James Goldmann) have written, produced and engineered music together for more than 12 years. Our services include remote and in-person engineeri

ng, production, mixing, and mastering, and we specialize in remote session drumming for all genres.

Our aim is to create a safe and comfortable space for all local musicians to create the best version of their art. We especially wish to create a safe space for queer musicians and musicians of color, who are severely underrepresented and need their voices amplified. In an industry dominated primarily by cisgendered, straight, white men, our studio is co-owned by a trans woman. We are acutely aware of the struggle queer, POC and trans musicians encounter in our scenes, and strive help alleviate it any way we can.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, studios are adjusting the way they operate, and we are no exception. We place a special emphasis on safety while still providing a personalized experience for every artist, whether remote or in-person. Our live room is completely isolated with a separate entrance and is sanitized between each session with a minimum 24 break between projects. For session work, or if other members of your band would like to join us remotely, we offer direct audio streaming via Zoom. For a more specific outline of our COVID-19 safety practices, please refer to our booking & rates page on our website at NUHOUSESTUDIOS.COM.

Our main facilities include:

- An acoustically treated live room with Pearl MCX Masters drums, Sabian Artisan cymbals, and top-of-the-line Tama & DW hardware.

- Pro Tools HDX, Antelope Audio's Orion Studio Synergy Core, and 16 channels of Focusrite preamps, for a total of 28 channels. A large collection of analog rack gear, tube amplifiers, cabinets, instruments, pedals and more - see our full equipment list at NUHOUSESTUDIOS.COM.

wanted to share our gratitude for every artist that trusted us with their music in 2024 ❤️ we started the studio in 2020 with a couple tracking projects at the beginning of the pandemic and couldn't have imagined it would grow into what it is today.

it's impossible to highlight all our favorite moments from this year, but releasing Trans Rights II: WE ARE NO LONGER ASKING was a big one. we are proud to have raised over $3000 for trans musicians and $750 for Doctors Without Borders through the compilation. it was also a joy to work with , both on the 2023 NFF sets and recording at the 2024 fest, our first time getting into live recording. also want to thank for the amazing new logo and for everyone who gave us a platform to talk about our vision, including /, / and Beaver Mosh.

don't have to tell you twice we got big things planned for 2025. if you want to be a part of them, message us for recording, mixing, mastering and session services on our site :) we currently booking through february 2025.

We're very excited that has received the opportunity to mix & master the live recordings from last years New Friends Fest. In order to help support the work we've put into these sets, we're releasing a pre-order for this Pg. 99 inspired sphynx shirt, designed by our friend . The pre-order will be open from now until Friday 2/16.

New Friends Fest is a DIY fest made possible by the collective work of the international screamo community. NFF has given a voice to many trans and q***r artists who are able to perform to a larger audience and share the recordings of their sets. Supporting the festival and those who help make it possible serves to continue elevating the music of trans artists.

Sets are currently being uploaded by , who filmed & edited for the fest.

⛓️ for shirts is the first one in our biome :)

That's a wrap on year 3 of Nu House Studios 🖤🐈‍⬛️ thank you to everyone that trusted us with your project, everyone that recommended us to a friend, and those of you that contributed to the Trans Musician Fund.

2023 was a landmark year for us in many ways. We worked on some of our most challenging and rewarding projects so far. We released our second compilation, "Trans Rights Or Else!", this one featuring all unreleased original music, much of it mixed and mastered at Nu House. And we raised over $3000 for the Trans Musician Fund, with four of our releases this year being partially funded by the TMF.

There's so much more coming for 2024. We have several projects lined up to mix & master, so get in contact if you'd like to work with us while there's still openings! And check our 🔗's if you're a trans artist hoping to receive a TMF donation, or would like to donate to the fund.

hi, it's been a little while since we last spoke. it's good to see you.

I have a new album coming out December 21st.

it's called "a trace of itself."

it's an album that I wrote last winter that is about last winter.

I don't use words this time. I didn't speak much then.

my friend Carlos Cotallo Solares (cotallosolares.com) performed violins (a lot of them) on two tracks. Aki McCullough (Nu House Studios) mixed half the album, and mastered the entire album. I couldn't have done it without the two of them.

here's the album artwork:
