Based in the 1887 Ballarat Trades Hall, our Studios also include the many places we have produced live recordings and events since our development stage commenced in 2018. We aim to provide cost effective solutions for musical artists wanting online video promotion and have a lot of fun presenting and recording shows from artists we like and support.

Billy Honger: H Squared Studios Director, Videographer, Restaurant/Deli/Nightclub owner/operator in Detroit USA with a keen interest in producing Australian music. We commenced our development phase in Oct 2018 setting up a control room and live broadcast and recording studio at The Main Bar in Bakery Hill. Our very first show was a brilliant tribute to The Dead Salesmen by 30 local musicians. This continued with 6 months and nearly 30 live shows on both the Indoor and Outdoor stages at the venue. Some of our favourite moments at The Main Bar are here on a Youtube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhYt1KcKxXJh6xczt7aLfIj7H-VXlzd9r In May 2019, we moved our studio operations and joined the team at Ballarat Trades Hall. Our development stage has continued in 2019/20 supporting many great shows. Some of our projects at Ballarat Trades Hall: White Night Ballarat, City of Ballarat Fringe Benefits Festival, a World premiere of an orchestral piece, Pete Daffy playing the 50’s blues, Northcote String Band playing the Frolic Festival, 1,000 people for the School Strike Against Climate (streamed live) recording of an orchestra performing the new Federation University Graduation theme, Australian theatre and screen legends telling the story of Henry Lawson and Banjo Patterson, and music headline shows with The Ballarat Ska Union, Dr Hernandez for Ballarat Foto Biennale.
