Nu House Studios 2024 Recap
It is somehow again the end of another year :_) Our appreciation to every artist who worked with us once again. In addition to working with so many talented musicians, we finished many in-house releases, including albums for Yagrum Bagarn, A Constant Knowledge of Death, and ameokama. We also released our third compilation: Trans Rights II: WE ARE NO LONGER ASKING, our second featuring all original releases. Through this compilations & merch sales, we raised around $3000 for the Trans Musician Fund, and $750 for Doctors Without Borders.
We also began using a new logo by Nat Lacuna, introduced our new website, and did a bunch of interviews! In June we collabed with Nu Metal Agenda, who made a generous donation to Nu House during pride month. Another “New” collab was with New Friends DIY, with whom we mixed the recordings of New Friends Fest ‘23 in Toronto, including artists such as The HIRS Collective, Massa Nera, .Gif from God, Crowning, Gulfer, and Stay Inside. You can watch full video of these sets here! We once again collabed with New Friends DIY in 2024, supervising set recordings at the festival, and are currently mixing the fests sets this year to release next year.

We are currently booking for Winter/Spring 2025, starting in February for recording, mixing, and mastering! Visit our website to book, and check out our portfolio and gear.
If you’d like to help keep us running the studio and supporting trans artists (ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE CISGENDER), please consider donating to the Trans Musician Fund. You can donate either via our Kofi or through buying our compilations and merch on Bandcamp. The idea of the Trans Musician Fund is to redistribute wealth to those whose voice should be heard the most: trans artists who are most negatively effected by capitalism and struggle to have the resources to work at the studio.
Lastly, if you want to hear us talk about Nu House in more depth, including our vision, our philosophy for mixing, and our experiences working with different artists, check out the interviews we did this year!
