This is my favorite studio in all of LA. A perfect go-to for all of my recording needs. I work as a freelance producer, so this spot is the perfect place to drop in to get things done. I also love collaborating with Dan, he is one of the most talented engineers I've ever met in my 10 years of doing this, and his heart is definitely in the right place, which is very important to me. A badass musician too. Each of the rooms at Konscious are great for their own reasons, and the whole studio is stacked with top notch equipment. I've made some of my favorite music ever out of Konscious. I recommend
