DJ (Standard and Pro, with CDJ-3000s in Pro), Rehearsal (Lite to Showcase) and Recording (Lite to Pro). Free WiFi, vending machines, common areas and air conditioning in every room. The shop (Wednesday–Sunday, 3:30pm–9:30pm) sells drinks and snacks and rents kit, from cables and headphones to synths, amps and guitars.

Slow and gentle!  Our locks can be a little sensitive so put your code in slowly and as detailed on your booking — such as * 1 2 3 4 5 6. Don't forget the star!

You might be sent a four-digit code as a replacement for the booking, such as 1 2 3 4.  As above, press slowly and in this case, with no star, *.

If you're having trouble with the lock or code, use # to reset and try again. If this doesn't work, please contact us via WhatsApp and we'll help get you in as soon as possible.

To make sure your session goes smoothly, we suggest taking a couple of minutes to read a bit more about the type of studio you’ve booked:

• DJ
• Recording (production)
• Rehearsal
• Podcast
• Dance
• Showcase

Reread your confirmation email
It has travel directions, codes for the front door, and codes for your studio. Every time you book a studio type for the first time (for example you're a DJ trying out a production studio), we’ll also send you a quick overview of that space and equipment.

Arrive early
We suggest you arrive at Pirate 15 minutes before your session to help orientate yourself, check out our common areas and find your studio.
