The Mothership
AMSTERDAM
Welcome to the very first studio built at Armada Music's headquarters in Amsterdam. Studio 1 is the beating heart of Armada’s HQ — a true home for creativity.
Studio 1 is designed to offer an optimal environment for recording, writing, mixing and mastering. The studio can comfortably host multiple people during a session, with all the gear ready to capture the magic created in the room.
Inside, you’ll find legendary synths like the Roland JP-8080 and the Behringer 303 bass synth, giving artists direct access to the iconic sound that helped shape Armada’s legacy. For vocalists, we provide a world-class recording setup featuring a Manley Reference Microphone, Neve 1073SPX preamp, and a Lydkraft Tube-Tech CL1B compressor, delivering a wonderful professional polish.
We have a list of floating gear that can be moved between studios like electric, acoustic and bass guitars, a fully decked out pedal board and other synthesizers. See the list below.
When it’s time to recharge, step into the adjacent chill area with an acoustic piano, big recliner chairs, a pool table and a DJ setup. You’ll find everything you need to refuel and spark that next great idea.
