"Diamond Mine Recording Inc is a private music recording studio where internationally beloved artists, producers, and songwriters have come to incorporate live performance and retro analog sounds into their contemporary digital productions. Since 2014 – amongst those who know – it has become legendary for writing, basic tracking, overdubs, and video shoots thanks to its vibe, privacy, room acoustics, formidable collection of vintage instruments and equipment, and of course the sought-after practitioners who call it home. Diamond Mine is a single-studio facility, featuring a spacious, day-lit live room with iso-closet, a control room that can comfortably host the whole team, a multi-purpose lounge area, two storage closets, a private restroom, and access to a massive rooftop with inspirational views of the New York City skyline. The core studio space occupies a 1400 sq ft suite within a nondescript industrial building that used to be the Fairchild Recording Equipment factory. A freight elevator along with wide hallways and doors make for easy load-in / load-out. Workers tending to neighboring businesses will mind their business and won’t recognize you. Being a private studio, Diamond Mine does not have any interns or staff. And being a single studio there aren’t any other clients to run into either. Your session will just be you, your team, and someone from our team hosting or engineering. You may also enjoy the surrounding neighborhood of Hunter’s Point (Long Island City), which despite being only 10 min from trendy North Brooklyn (Williamsburg, Greenpoint, et al) or bustling Midtown Manhattan, and despite having bougie bars, restaurants, hotels, breweries, and entertainment within walking distance, is still a relatively chill and uncrowded place. Although Diamond Mine was initially constructed as a low-key place for its partners to continue their own writing and recording projects, it has evolved into a shared hub for friends and associates, and now welcomes outside bookings of all kinds (at the discretion of management)." "Diamond Mine was founded by life-long musical collaborators Leon Michels, Thomas Brenneck, Nick Movshon, and Homer Steinweiss who’ve been recording since the late 90s. It is a continuation of two former studios they owned in Brooklyn: Soul Fire (Truth & Soul Records) and Dunham Sound (Dunham Records). As writers, arrangers, producers, and as an unimitable session band, they’ve recorded with many incredible singers including Amy Winehouse, Bruno Mars, Sharon Jones, Charles Bradley, Lee Fields, Lady Wray, Clairo, Remi Wolf, Lady Gaga, Kali Uchis, Dua Lipa, Solange, CeeLo Green, Freddie Gibbs, Black Thought, Raekwon, and Ghostface Killah. As artists in their own right they’ve recorded highly influential instrumental music under the names El Michels Affair and Menahan Street Band. As progenitors of the New York soul and funk revival, they were also (collectively or individually) members of The Mighty Imperials, The Fabulous Three, The Soul Providers, The Dap-Kings, The Expressions, Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, Budos Band, and more.

It is largely because of Diamond Mine’s legendary owners, and also via a resident producer named Loren Humphrey, that their studio has attracted star producers including Kevin Parker, Mark Ronson, Questlove, Jeff Bhasker, Andrew Wyatt, James Ford, Madlib, Patrick Wimberly, Kenny Beats, and Emile Haynie."
