Sauna House Recorders Collective AKA The Sauna

OPENED JANUARY 2025



About The Sauna....

"A place out of time"

Set high in the hills of serene northern Lake Washington, The Sauna is a laidback residential project recording studio which is ran, maintained and utilized by dedicated members of the vibrant North Seattle DIY music scene. We offer full service recording and mixing with years of industry experience, plus release services and physical release duplication. Our mission is to provide a chill and inspiring legacy-tech forward DIY environment to create within and capture excellent results, at accessible and comfortable rates. This is your chance to record with intention, with plenty of quirky, rare, and desirable gear at disposal. Track through our vintage Panasonic-Ramsa WR-T820 Console (Jack Endino/Reciprocal Recording legacy gear) and high-end Antelope Audio converters, or directly to Alesis ADAT (Alanis Morissette/Glen Ballard). We have a fully restored 1990s S-VHS-based ADAT system with Alesis BRC control, available for any session. Analog 8 Track coming soon.
