DAFT Recording Studios

DAFT's main studio is a high-end, Neve 5088-equipped space, featuring one of Europe's largest recording room. At 200m² with an 8m-high ceiling, it's perfect for massive drum sounds, orchestral sessions, and film projects. Four iso booths offer unique acoustics, and the studio includes a 70m² Dolby Atmos control room.

Like Abbey Road Studio 2, DAFT's control room is on the first floor, with a spacious gallery overlooking the live room, offering natural light and clear sightlines. The space is grand enough for a symphony but also ideal for rock, pop, or jazz.

At the heart of the studio sits a Rupert Neve Designs 5088 Shelford Edition console, featuring legendary 5051 and 5052 modules for exceptional headroom and dynamic range. A curated collection of outboard gear blends vintage and modern equipment.

DAFT is home to one of the most remarkable collections of vintage microphones and backline gear, including a collection of vintage Neumann U87s, one of which may have been used by Marvin Gaye on Sexual Healing during his time in Belgium.

In addition to recording, DAFT offers up to 10 writing rooms and hosts writing camps with major industry players like Sony ATV, BMG, and Universal Music. The adjacent Hotel provides the ultimate creative retreat, combining comfort and inspiration for artists, composers, and producers alike.
