Music Recording Studio
The Seed operates a recording studio built entirely underground, with a soundproof, 90-square-metre subterranean space designed for musicians, producers, and artists who need room to work without interruption. The studio's acoustic properties are engineered for isolation and privacy, giving artists a controlled environment for vocals, instruments, and live sessions.
Musicians working here have access to vocal booths, drum kits, mic stands, and a full production setup, alongside professional producers and sound engineers who can support a session from setup through mixdown. Whether the project is a full album, a single vocal recording session, or a lo-fi home-studio-style workflow scaled up with proper equipment, the space is fully customisable to fit the artist's process.
The Seed's recording studio sits within Villa Underground, available as part of a full-property buyout or as an individual villa rental of Villa Underground itself.
Full-property buyout
A full-property buyout gives musicians, producers, and labels the entire resort, studio, accommodation, and grounds, held for their group alone, spanning multiple days or weeks as the project requires.
Villa Underground
An individual villa rental gives a smaller team private use of the studio and Villa Underground's own spaces.
Everything in One Place For Music Production
The Seed is built for a full album to be recorded start to finish on-site, with the entire team staying for the duration. The Seed's team connects visiting artists with experienced local and international sound engineers, producers, and session musicians, so a full recording or live setup can come together without anyone leaving the property. Beyond the studio, the property covers every need for the length of the residency. Bloom Kitchen, the on-site restaurant, caters meals throughout the stay, with cocktail bars, the Beach Bar, private accommodation across the villas, multiple pools, and direct beach access rounding out a private, luxurious experience for the whole team, on and off the clock.
Recording Sessions & Production
Every recording session at The Seed is built around the artist's workflow.
Recording Facilities
Full support for vocals, guitar, keyboard, drums, and orchestral instruments, with real-time monitoring so producers hear exactly what's captured as it happens.
Studio Setup
A mixing console with multi-channel signal routing, built for tracking sessions of any size.
Mixing & Mastering
On-site software for mixing, mastering, and sound design, from reverb and delay to layered synthesizers and presets.
Producer Tools
Bring a laptop or use the on-site computer to manage tracks, plug-ins, and projects.
Monitoring & Listening
Monitors, speakers, and headphones set up for both tracking and critical listening.
Acoustic Properties
Engineered to capture clean audio with no outside noise, so every vocal take, full band, or single mic'd instrument comes through with accurate melodies and tone, true to source.
Extended Stays for Artists, Labels & Producers
The Seed is built to work as a second home for artists and musicians on short or long-term creative stays, offering a place to record, write, and live on-site for the length of a project.
During Your Stay
Accommodation, daily meals, and wellness amenities are available privately on-site, keeping the environment focused so artists can stay immersed in the work.
Recreation & Inspiration
Between sessions, the team can arrange curated excursions into East Bali, including traditional ceremonies and performances, visits to the island's oldest village of Tenganan, and electric bike rides through the surrounding landscape. Each experience is optional and scheduled around the recording timeline, built to reconnect artists with their surroundings and feed the creative process.
Celebrate Your Sound
When a project wraps, The Seed hosts the celebration. Intimate showcases and private events run for up to 200 guests on-site, with the team turning the studio space into a live venue or launch event, complete with bar service, décor, lighting, and entertainment support. Friends, collaborators, and fans can join for a closing night that marks the end of the stay, allowing for the moment to debut a finished project or simply celebrate the time spent in Bali.
Studio to After-Hours Club
When the sun sets, the space shifts. The underground studio is designed for late-night use, turning from a recording room into an after-hours venue built for movement, sound, and celebration once the main event winds down. A private bar and mixology team keep the night going for guests staying on to close things out.
Frequently asked questions
Is the recording studio in Bali available to book independently of a full-property stay?
The recording studio comes as part of a full-property buyout, or through an individual villa rental of Villa Underground, where the studio sits. Labels and producers booking the full resort gain access to the studio and every surrounding facility, giving the whole team a private space to create in for the length of the stay, whether that's a few days or an extended, multi-week residency. Producers booking Villa Underground individually gain private use of the studio itself, alongside the villa's own spaces.
What equipment is included in the studio setup?
The studio setup includes a mixing console, mixer, multi-channel routing, monitors, headphones, mic stands, microphone selection, vocal booths, and drum kits, alongside musical instruments for recording vocals, guitar, keyboard, and orchestra. Software for recording, mixing, and mastering rounds out the music production tools on-site, whether the project is a single song or a full album. Specific equipment brands and models are confirmed with the property team ahead of booking.
Can producers bring their own gear?
Producers regularly bring their own gear when putting a session together. Laptops, plug-ins, presets, and outboard equipment run alongside the on-site setup. The advantage is a familiar workflow paired with a fully outfitted studio, saving the budget and money that would otherwise go toward freight or rental gear. The team coordinates logistics ahead of arrival, for example confirming power and connectivity needs before the session starts.
How large is the studio space?
The studio space covers 90 square metres, built underground with soundproofed walls for full sound isolation. Sessions generally run as loud and late as the project needs, without disruption to the rest of the property.
Can The Seed host a listening event or showcase after a recording stay?
Once a recording stay wraps, The Seed hosts the listening event or showcase itself and the space converts into a live venue for launch events or after-hours celebrations for up to 200 guests, with production, bar service, and entertainment support arranged by the team for artist and listener alike. It keeps the process fun through to the closing night.
Does The Seed provide sound engineers or session musicians?
The Seed's team connects visiting artists with local and international sound engineers, producers, and session musicians, rounding out a recording or live session with the people needed to bring the ideas in the room to life.
