Listen to Neverthere - the last record produced by Ayad Al Adhamy at Little Room and the first record mixed at Diamond City. For fans of Motion City Soundtrack, Alt-pop/punk and the like!
2 track album
"It's been a crazy year" - we had a great chat with SonicScoop about Diamond City, the history of the studio and what it means to open up a New York recording facility in 2016! Obligatory gear talk ensues...
โIt's been a crazy year,โ says Ayad Al Adhamy. Itโs easy to understand why he feels that way. 2016 is when Al Adhamy took it all to the next level with the opening of Diamond City Studio in lower Manhattan, enacting a welcome rebirth for a prolific facility that has operated for years outside of โฆ

Damn! August was rad; Ayad worked with Rebecca Rossi on her great pop project Krystalmath, and he and Joel had a blast working with Philly rock n rollers Cold Fronts. Joel tracked and mixed his own band Surf Rock is Dead as well as assisting Justin Gerrish on Brooklyn garage rock outfit Best Behavior! James Ellis & Chris Black also stopped by a couple of times to record their fun as hell podcast Public Announcement.
Looking for some fresh projects for September - hit us up to have a chat and swing by the studio! Especially looking for some sweet scoring projects now that Synth Land has landed!
