Boomer Hotel is a recording studio at 1625 Summerfield Street in Ridgewood. 

It’s one room, in a basement, run by one person. I built it because most studios I've worked in are optimized for turnover, not for the kind of human attention that records actually need. Here, sessions can breathe. You can sit with a take for an hour. You can mic a piano three different ways and listen back before committing. You can come in with nothing and leave with something.

The room is set up for full-band tracking, vocal sessions, production from zero, mixing, and mastering. The piano is a 1989 Kawai CX21D upright, tuned and regulated. There's a 1977 Rhodes Mark 1, a Nord Stage 4, a Korg Triton, a Gretsch Catalina Maple kit, and a working collection of synths. Mics worth naming are a Soyuz SU-023 Bomblet, an AKG C414, a 1970s Electro-Voice RE20, and a UA Sphere DLX. You can monitor on Barefoot Footprint 01s and Neumann KH310s.

Recent work from the room includes sessions with Vacations, Ivri, and PEGGY, plus mastering for records produced by Magnus Skylstad.

Sessions with engineer: $65/hr or $500/day
Room only: $40/hr
