Dub Narcotic Studio in Olympia WA is the birthplace of hundreds of recordings including seminal K releases by Kimya Dawson, The Microphones, Mirah, Calvin Johnson, The Blow… the list goes on. And on. This is the antithesis of sterile or slick: An unconventional blend of vintage and modern, a studio wizard who’s fun and easy to work with, our extensive collection of hand percussion and noisemakers, and the most comfortable couch in the Pacific Northwest all make Dub Narcotic a relaxed and inspiring studio atmosphere.
