"I produce under the name Grey Goon, have a band called Champagne Fever, and compose music for web and TV ads. I've worked on a variety of projects with Calin at DSL. The dude is obsessed with making things sound good. Seriously one of the more passionate people I know. The gear is all top notch and he's got the skills to put it to good use. His skill set and drive are going to get him on the top tier mixers list. Get in on the ground floor when y'all can."

“Talk about bang for your buck! District Sound lab is a high end recording studio that specializes in rap and hip hop, but can do pretty much anything else you want. I recorded my bands EP there and it came out great. The price really cant be beat. To find a studio with that type of equipment (U87, API EQ, UA Compressor)and expertise with a much lower price than comparable studios is a dream come true. Calin, the Owner and sound engineer is super easy to work with, and knows what he is doing.”
–GEOFF B.

If you are looking for great quality work in the DMV I would highly recommend District Sound Lab.”

”Calin is simply the guy to go to for a great quality sound. He's always my first choice. From the very first time I saw everything inside DSL I got a professional vibe from both Calin and the equipment. The work speaks for itself as everything I record with Calin comes out completely A1. Don't sell yourself short and pay for the sound you really deserve at the right price. Forget all these other overpriced/under qualified studios. 17 more stars if I could for DSL.”
–JOHN F.
”District Sound Lab is as professional as they come. When I first spoke with Calin, he was entirely understanding of me as an individual and an artist plus extremely patient with actually learning my sound for the best methods of developing it with each recording. He takes personal care with your specific needs coupled with his expertise and is always responsive during and outside of sessions. This will be my permanent studio for as far as I can vision in my foreseeable future.”

–NICOL W
”I cannot express how happy I am with the decision to work with Didtrict Sound Lab. I am an up and coming R&B pop singer with a very unique voice and many other places kept on producing a very low quality sound for me. However, the sound engineer, Calin, took his time and produced everything exactly the way I wanted. The best thing about his studio is that the environment is very chill, Yet Calin professional with his efficiency as far as getting everything done. Although my EP is not yet released, I cannot tell you the number of people that are so impressed with the mixing of the project. Because of the quality alone, I am proud to share it with anyone, and for that I would recommend this service to anybody serious in music looking for a good studio! You will not be disappointed.”
–AUSTIN H.
"District Sound Lab is one of those places hard to come by in the DMV area. Great quality sound, A very clean environment , and pocket friendly when it comes to hourly rates. Calin is the Owner of the studio and he's also an amazing engineer. Whatever you need done he is your go to guy, Calin is experienced in many genre's and has a great ear for music. If your in the DMV and need studio time set up an appointment with DistrictSoundLab. One of the few places that are still doing it for the love of art."

“After the first couple songs I had a really good feeling I would be working with these guys for an extended period of time... That feeling was correct. I've done business with the owner for over 3 years now, and I've never regretted it. District Sound Lab is incredibly professional, I can't stress this enough. I've cut vocals for Grammy award winning musicians under the meticulous eye of District Sound Lab's staff and not once has a client of mine been disappointed. I would strongly suggest that anybody looking for a studio in this area contact them for a session to experience the product quality. They work very hard to ensure that you walk away with something remarkable. Proof of their perfectionist work mentality. District Sound Lab is legit. Through and through.”

–AARON P.
”My band has recorded vocals and mastered our album at this studio. It is top notch. We were very happy with the results and couldn't believe how amazing the vocals sounded. I've worked and recorded at major commercial studios and the sounds coming out of District Sound Lab are on par with any studio I've been to. It is a first class studio in a small space. I'd recommend it for all types of music. Oh, and you can't beat the prices and flexibility. If you go to the studio tell them Ramtin sent you. You will thank me after you hear your music coming through the speakers.”
–RAMTIN A.
”District Sound Lab is a one of a kind studio in the DC area. The gear is truly pro level, the knowledge and experience are on point, and the staff and environment are super chill... Plus, it is actually affordable! Most other studios are either way too expensive, or the sound quality is sub par, or the staff are really not cool. This place really has all three.. They really got it right. To give you an idea, we used a Neumann U87 in their amazing new vocal booth through a Great River pre and into Apogee Symphony i/o converters. After some compression and very light EQ, it came out sounding incredible. Calin works really fast and was very helpful throughout. He even gave me a discount! Highly recommended.”
–JOHN C.
”Never have I come across a studio that has the level of professionalism that DSL has. This is is both in terms of the its engineer as well as the equipment that the studio has. Vintage hardware, the latest plug ins, and an incredible vocal booth. I've been very lucky to have found this place and I seriously urge anyone with any audio related aspirations to use this studio as a resource. The rates for the studio are unbelievable for what you're getting.”
–GEORGE K.
”Awesome studio with pro equipment. Run by a talented dude who gets it!”

"I've been working with Calin on a few tracks now and it's been an incredibly enjoyable and worthwhile experience. I never leave the studio feeling like I haven't made a huge leap in progress and every song ends up clean and fat. Calin is a great guy who's easy to work with and more than qualified/knowledgable as an engineer. Five stars, would recommend to anyone trying to get professional quality sound in their music."
