We are very excited to give you a sneak preview of our brand-new campus expansion set to open this year. The new space offers an additional 19,000 square feet spread over two floors at our Penn Street site in Shoreditch. This brings pointblank’s London campus footprint to 30,000 sq ft in total. As Pete Tong says: “If you’re serious about your music, pointblank is where you want to be...". From the remarkable new hub/club performance and bar area to the professional standard Dolby Atmos recording studios and high-tech DJ/production suites, this state-of-the-art development enhances our position at the forefront of music education. Here are some of the exciting new additions available to you coming soon:
The Hub & bar area is the beating heart of pointblank. This is where students can relax during the day, catch up with friends, grab a drink or snack from the bar and chill out. During the evenings, the Hub transforms into a live events and club space to host student performances and masterclasses from industry experts. The stage includes a full backline of instruments, a mixer, PA and lighting system all designed to provide a professional audio-visual experience.
Designed in collaboration with Pioneer DJ, we have the fully spec’d Alpha Theta/Pioneer DJ studio, kitted out with the very best DJ decks such as the OPUS-QUAD and DJM-A9. These workstations are designed to replicate the experience of performing in a real DJ booth, allowing students to get hands-on and develop their skills and knowledge with a range of different kit used by professional DJs worldwide. Workstations are equipped with cutting-edge DJ and production software including Ableton Live, Beatport/Beatsource, Logic Pro, Neural Mix Pro, Mixed In Key, Rekordbox, Serato, and Traktor Pro, allowing students to analyse, manage, stream, mix, and record music.
We know that having the freedom to book studio time is high priority and that's why we are introducing another nine music production and DJ project studios, and four vocal booths which will be available for our students to book seven days a week. This will ensure you have ample time and space to work on your own music, collaborate with peers and cultivate their skills. Each project studio will be equipped with Mac computers, Universal Apollo Soundcards, Roland drum machines, Push 3 and NI Maschine controllers, various synths, and more.
