2C Studios are back in motion after the hurricane

2C Studios are back this week after a two weeks break when the hurricane Sandy left its disastrous foot marks in the East Village. Our studio is located on zone A that's why we had the power and water off for the last two weeks which made it impossible to operate.

But now that things are getting back to normal, we opened our doors back to Young Pals artists. Michael Gastaldi was the first to visit this morning where he laid vocals for "Introduction"for his upcoming EP.

Next, Dacada Summer came to record harmonica, electric guitars and keyboards for some of the tracks we are working on.

It feels so good to hear back the sound of music and beautiful melodies echoing through the walls of the studio.
