Until 2001 the studio was located in a cellar on East Third Street in NYC. Over the years many bands and artists have passed through. Tons of reggae, rocksteady and ska tracks and many complete albums were recorded at the original hideout of the NYC Ska Mob. The anarchist atmosphere and strong smell of urine and raw sewage led to the spontaneous creation of the first Version City CD but also eventually contributed to the destruction of that rat-infested location.
In 2001 Django rebuilt the studio in its new location and continued improving it with new and better equipment. The new Version City, located in New Brunswick, NJ now offers both full analog and digital recording along with Django's renowned production and engineering skills. We also offer MOBILE DIGITAL MULTI-TRACKING, so we can record your band ANYWHERE!!! In addition, we can organize DUBPLATE and VOICING SESSIONS with many foundation reggae artists.
