Downtown Music Hub

Downtown Music Hub Downtown Studios ... the future of your music career, since 1979
(1)

The Downtown Music Hub was established by the Department of Arts and Culture to address challenges faced by the music industry around access to recording facilities and production of high quality music. The Department facilitated the purchase of the building in downtown Johannesburg that houses the legendary Downtown Studios. The Downtown Music Hub was formed to spearhead the process, and was task

ed with refurbishing the studios and renovating the building with a view to creating a "state of the art" production and post-production facility. The Downtown Studios are legendary within the South African music recording industry and have retained the professionally designed acoustic environments that offer a special unique flavour to live recordings. The Hub boasts highly esteemed individuals in the music industry with years of experience in both the production and music management and who have guided the process ensuring that Downtown Studios is a top notch African facility. The Downtown Music Hub aims to become the catalyst for the advancement of musicians, creating jobs and promoting entrepreneurship within the industry. This will be done by facilitating the economic empowerment of South African artists and other industry role players, specifically those from previously disadvantaged communities.

The smallest of the three studios at Downtown Music Hub. A home away from home for the more electronic sounds.

The studio is based around two small-to-mid-sized booths which are isolated from each other and are perfect for vocal overdubs, ADR, or tracking of small ensembles who don’t necessarily require the space that our bigger studios offer.

Our 48-Channel SSL AWS 948 is perfect companion for today’s modern workflows and its extensive 1/4” patch bay makes interfacing your outboard gear a breeze.

Call Tumi on 060 414 4950 or email: [email protected] for more details!

Downtown Music Hub … work in progress. Some time last year, thanks to thousands of litres of paint from Dulux plus contributions from SAMRO and the South African Music Performance Rights Association … we got a facelift 😅
