    Feel the Heat, Los Angeles

    Sunset Boulevard is known for bringing the party, and is responsible for cultivating some of the most important moments in pop culture and music from the early ’60s to today. We love our sun-drenched neighborhood. 

    There's a lot to see and do around here, from the modernist architecture to exploring the eclectic artist-driven neighborhood:

    • Grab an acai bowl from Juice Crafters or head up Silver Lake Boulevard to LAMILL Coffee for cold brew. If you're a night owl looking for some tunes, head to Los Globos for late-night beats, walking distance from our Sunset location.
    • Need a little headspace? Check out Laurel and Hardy, a pocket-sized patch of grass that's five minutes away from the studio. Echo Park and the reservoirs are only a stone's throw away too.
    • If two-wheels are better than four, the Los Angeles River bicycle path is nearby, with eight glorious miles through the Glendale Narrows to stretch your legs.

    Whether you're a relative beginner or a seasoned pro, our specialist Silver Lake studios are the perfect place to create, write, produce, practice and mix music with no distractions.

      Getting here and access

      what3words location: ///loads.daring.into (Studio Entrance / Parking Lot)
      what3words location: ///branch.dish.fool (Jones Building Entrance)

      Silver Lake has two entrances: off Sunset, and down to basement level via the elevator; OR via the parking lot

      Driving? We have limited free parking on site. Parking lot access is via the coded gate on Joseph F Farivar Drive, on the corner of Reservoir and N Occidental.

      Outside of these hours and at weekends, you may park in any available spot.

      Please note: We have limited valet parking Monday-Friday, 9:00-17:00.
      - When you arrive, show your booking confirmation to access the lot. If the lot is full, you’ll still be able to unload your gear at the door.
      - It's free of charge for Pirate customers and tipping isn't expected.
      - If a session goes past 17:00, the valet will find your studio and drop off the car keys.

      Outside of these hours and at weekends, you may park in any available spot.

      Local buses include the 2, 4 and 704 at the Sunset/Silver Lake stop. You can also jump on these to get to our West Adams studio. For more details visit metro.net

      There are easy links to the University of Southern California, only 22 minutes from Pirate's Silver Lake studios.

      How do I book a session?

      Our live booking calendar shows the latest availability of studios. You can book anywhere from a year in advance right up until a few minutes beforehand. Some studios are popular, so we recommend securing your slot in advance.

      TIP: Book enough time to set-up and get comfortable with the gear, and set-up/pack-down anything you’ve brought along. 

      What is verification and how does it work?

      Being verified unlocks extra features at Pirate, like Refer-a-Friend credits. You also need to have your identity verified before you book one of our DJ or recording studios, so it’s a worthwhile investment! Don’t worry, the process only takes two minutes.

      TIP: Use your mobile, it's easier to get a clear shot of your face/document.

      I'm having trouble with a code or lock — help?

      Slow and gentle!  Our locks can be a little sensitive so put your code in slowly and as detailed on your booking — such as * 1 2 3 4 5 6. Don't forget the star!

      You might be sent a four-digit code as a replacement for the booking, such as 1 2 3 4.  As above, press slowly and in this case, with no star, *.

      If you're having trouble with the lock or code, use # to reset and try again. If this doesn't work, please contact us via WhatsApp and we'll help get you in as soon as possible.

      WHAT IF SOMETHING BREAKS OR I NEED A SPARE?

      Spares in every location! We carry lots of spares on our sites in case you need any further equipment or something has a fault. You'll also find lots of spare cables and mics in our rehearsal studios if needed.

      Is something missing from the room or do you need an item from the Spares cupboard? Hit us up on Live Chat via the website, on WhatsApp or give us a call on +1 844-274-7283. We will be more than happy to help.

      Are food and drinks available at the studios?

      Select Pirate locations include fully stocked vending machines, and most are located near to shops if you'd like to bring your own food and drink.

      Our Birmingham studios include a shop in the communal area where you can purchase food and drinks.

      Check out your local studio location page for more details.
