Dive in below where we explore DJ Bliss studio at The Penthouse Dubai.
STUDIO
The FIVE Music Studio at The Penthouse Dubai, FIVE Palm Jumeirah, is where the magic truly happens. It’s been my creative sanctuary for some time now, and every element is designed to inspire and elevate the creative process.
The studio is a perfect blend of style and functionality, crafted to ensure creativity flows effortlessly. At its heart are the Barefoot Master Stack 12 speakers, paired with Neumann KH80 nearfields and a KH750 subwoofer, delivering unparalleled, crystal-clear sound quality.
And the gear? It’s a dreamland for producers. From a collection of iconic Gibson and Fender guitars to the Moog Sub37 Synth and analog essentials like the Elektron Analog Rytm MK1, Vermona DRM1 and a Jomox Mbase11, a simple but timeless bass/kick drum machine. The setup is built for limitless sonic exploration.
Vocals are treated with precision, running through the legendary Neumann U47 or the ever-reliable Shure SM7B, paired with a Neve 1073 Preamp and a Tubetech MEC1 Channel Strip—all powered by the UAD Apollo X8 interface and controlled through the Dangerous Monitor Control System for peak performance.
Countless tracks have been born here, each session feeling like a piece of history in the making. This isn’t just a studio—it’s a playground for innovation and the ultimate creative haven.
SOFTWARE
Ableton Live 12 is the heartbeat of my production—I live and breathe it. I’ve explored other DAWs, but Ableton feels like home. The learning curve? Absolutely worth it. Its intuitive interface makes it effortless to bring ideas to life while keeping the workflow seamless.
When it comes to plugins, the collection is vast—UAD, Waves, and countless others—each chosen for its unique purpose, adding depth and precision to every project.
SOUND
For monitors, the Barefoot Master Stack 12s paired with Neumann KH80s are the ultimate power duo. They deliver unmatched clarity and depth, making every detail in the mix crystal clear—because in the studio, your speakers are your ultimate truth-tellers.
When it comes to headphones, precision is king. My advice? Forget the hype and focus on what feels right for you. Test them in your own creative space to ensure they match how you experience and interpret beats and melodies. It’s all about your sound, your vibe, your choice.
HARDWARE
The hardware setup at The FIVE Music Studio is where creativity and precision come to life. My standout favorite? The Moog Sub37 Synth. Its versatility and rich analog tones make it a powerhouse for crafting distinctive bass sounds and textures that elevate any track. For drum patterns, the Elektron Analog Rytm MK1 and Vermona DRM1 are indispensable, delivering that warm analog vibe and a humanized touch to electronic beats.
If I could add one dream piece to this collection? Without a doubt, the legendary Roland Jupiter-8. Its iconic sound and unparalleled quality are pure magic for creating timeless melodies—a true masterpiece in the world of synths.
EXTRAS
The studio isn’t just a place to work—it’s all about the vibe. One of my favorite features is a vintage arcade machine, perfect for taking a break and resetting during long sessions. There’s also a framed vinyl of one of my earliest inspirations, a constant reminder of why I embarked on this journey.
The FIVE Music Studio isn’t just a workspace—it’s my creative sanctuary.
