The Music Space

It’s an odd place to say the least. Firstly, it was difficult to find. I wasted about 15 minutes trying to find the entrance, which was in the cellar of an office building. Their car park was also closed, which didn’t seem right. Apparently I was also supposed to call the company’s land line in order to get in. According to them, they’d sent an email a few days prior on instructions on how to get, which I did not receive. They did eventually send one when I called, but then later on it mysteriously disappeared, even though I didn’t delete it. Once I got in, that was it, they hung up. It looked decent inside. They had a sitting area and a canteen, with drinks that you had to make yourself. The whole time I was there, I was all alone. There was nobody about. Not even a front desk with someone looking after the place or someone to say hello to. The studio spaces themselves were good, and it had everything you needed. That is about the only good thing I can say about this place. The other weird thing about this place is the toilet. You literally had to take a key with you, go up one floor and unlock the toilet yourself, which I found very odd. In summary, the actual studios were adequate, but the whole place and business operation felt dodgy. No front desk, phoning in to get into the building, DIY drinks, taking a key with you to unlock the toilet and on top of that, it was located in a difficult to find cellar of an office building. The whole experience was very uncomfortable. The whole thing just felt illegal. I don’t know how other people like this place, but I for one won’t be returning anytime soon. The only good thing about this place was the studio spaces themselves, and the fact that they were pretty much the only music studios that are open, as of the 10th of February 2021.

Great equipment. Plug and play. Nice drum kits. Very cheap. All you want and need when jamming with your friends

Used to be a very good place, but it is not available anymore, they are demolishing the building

Feels like rehearsing in a dungeon

Favorite place in Utrecht to quickly play music with others. Booking is very easy, sometimes there are small problems but they are always resolved after a short phone call.
