Didi's House Recording Studio | Randburg, JHB

Inside

Built for focus.

Didi’s House is a small, professionally sound-treated studio in Kensington B, Randburg. A proper booth with good mics, close to Sandton, Bryanston, Fourways, Randburg, Rosebank and most of Joburg north.

Johannesburg has brilliant full-scale studios, and if you need an engineer behind glass and a live room, book one of those. If you need a clean, quiet, treated room with good equipment at a fair hourly rate, this is that space.

Bring your own laptop and DAW; everything else is set up when you arrive. If you’d like a hand with a simple recording or a basic edit, just ask.

Free off-street parking on the property

Coffee and tea on hand throughout

Garden to take a break in between takes
