Community
"The best part is that you can knock on a neighbour's door and someone helps you out."What our tenants say
Hall of records
Framed gold records line the hallway, and the people who make the next ones work in the rooms beside it.
Play each other new tracks, swap tips, find collaborators.
Coffee breaks turn into sessions. Christmas dinner is a tradition.
Shared support for scheduling and admin, so you spend more time on music.
Report a problem with the QR code in your room and see when it's fixed. Power and equipment get regular checks.
Made at Sonic Pump
Songs recorded, mixed or produced by the artists and tenants who work here.
Community blog
You can now request studio time, book a work room viewing, register for events and apply for an internship, all online.
For years, most people found us through friends and the Helsinki music scene. That still matters most, but now everything you need to know is in one place: the rooms, how booking works, and what's happening in the building.
Every request still reaches a real person, and we confirm by email.
A few things that make a session smoother, and save you paid time.
Ask our tenants what they like most, and the answer isn't the gear. It's the neighbours.
When something isn't working, you knock on the next door and someone helps. Producers swap tips, borrow gear and end up working together. The Christmas dinner has become a tradition.
That's why we're adding regular community nights, listening sessions and workshops. See upcoming events.
Tenants, artists and friends of the studio chat there: find collaborators, borrow gear, share releases and ask questions.
Community events
Community nights, listening sessions, workshops and the Christmas dinner, organised by the studio. Register for a spot; some events have a small fee.
