MAPS: PENN DISTRICT
NEW YORK CITY
Twelve studios in the CENTER OF EVERYTHING
Recording | Rehearsals | Podcasts
In the city that never sleeps, between Times Square and Madison Square Garden, high atop the old Garment Wear Arcade building, there’s a place for musicians whose drive also never sleeps.
Smash Studios, the hub for local bands and touring artists alike since 1989, is the new east coast headquarters for MAPS. Post Malone, Harry Styles, Lenny Kravitz, Snoop Dog, and Justin Timberlake have all hunkered down here to prep for MSG concerts, The Tonight Show, and SNL appearances. Now it’s your turn.
Not only do you have access to all Smash studios, but we’ve also built one just for you. The Electric Jungle Room is 100% exclusive for MAPS members only, and is well-equipped to inspire and capture the sounds of your next great record.
rehEARSE. RECORD. RELEASE. REPEAT.

PHOTO STUDIOS
AUTOMATED
MAPS is an acronym for “Music and Arts Production Studios”. We’ve been quite biased toward the music part thus far. But no artist can escape the need for great photos to pair with their music and support their image. We’re excited to bring photographers into our community, and also give you the opportunity to expand your offerings to artists.
