THE VOODOO LOUNGE is where the magic happens. It's Dirk's main studio, perfectly equipped for mixing. Numerous singles, EPs and albums have been sent out into the world via The Voodoo Lounge. Overdubs, pre-production, post-production, remixing, mastering and creating karaoke tracks are also among the possibilities. Dirk works with Pro Tools and has an impressive collection of plugins.

He collaborates with STUDIO PLUG UNIT for complete band recordings or tracking live drums, where he has access to an 84 square meter atmospheric live room (including a stage, PA, theater lighting and a bar) as well as a control room of 36 square meters stacked with high-end equipment.
