Electric Feel Entertainment just dropped a bombshell for Nashville’s creative scene: their sleek new studio at 1008 17th Avenue South, Music Row is now live. Think of it as the cosmic sibling to their L.A. flagship, but with a Nashville soul.
At the core of this expansion is Genelec. For Electric Feel, Genelec's active monitoring technology is part of the DNA. “It doesn’t feel like an Electric Feel studio unless Genelecs are in the room,” says Danielle Engen. Nick Mac, the studio’s engineering maven, adds: “With Genelec, I know exactly what I’m working on, as the detail, accuracy and translation are second to none. That reliability means I can push creative boundaries without second-guessing how things will sound outside the studio.”
In Studio A, expect soffit-mounted Genelec 1234A monitors + a 7382A subwoofer. Studio B leans bigger: 1238DFs + a 7370A, while the production suite features Genelec 8361As for precision in smaller spaces.
This isn’t a random real estate pick. The building dates back to 1920, once home to Bayou Recording Studio before its fiery demise in ’87. After shifting hands—even becoming a spa during the pandemic—Electric Feel snapped it up in 2024 and launched a full metamorphosis.
Danielle Engen helmed interiors and flow, while Nick Mac orchestrated the tech backbone: custom wiring, panel fabrication, and ensuring the rooms hit their acoustic targets. Acoustician Gavin Haverstick and build firm Rosetone added serious treatment, soffits, and isolation.
The result? Two main studios, writer rooms, production suites, and communal zones all aligned under one sonic identity.
It’s not just pretty on paper, it’s already humming. Sessions for Post Malone’s forthcoming country album, collabs with BigXthaPlug, and the Quavo / Luke Bryan / Teddy Swims track “Georgia Ways” are already underway.
The vision is a creative ecosystem where you walk into any Electric Feel studio—L.A., Nashville, soon Miami, New York—and instantly feel at home, with total sonic continuity. “Having that consistency allows our artists, producers, and engineers to move seamlessly between facilities and trust what they’re hearing. It’s not just about great sound; it’s about building a creative ecosystem where talent can collaborate across cities and genres without ever losing their reference point. That reliability inspires confidence in every session, and it’s a big part of why our teams can focus purely on the music, knowing that the monitoring environment will always deliver exactly what they need," says Engen.
