About G-Son Studios
G-Son Studios is a historic recording space in Atwater Village, Los Angeles once home to the Beastie Boys, where landmark albums were created during the golden era of hip hop.
Originally built as the Atwater Community Center ballroom, the space has always been a place where people gather. In the early 1990s, it became a creative headquarters for independent music, collaboration, and cultural experimentation.
Today, G-Son continues that legacy as a community-driven event space hosting concerts, art shows, rehearsals, dance classes, and creative gatherings in an intimate 1,600+ square foot studio environment.
This isn’t just a venue.
It’s a place where history was made and where new moments are created.
♬♪ Why G-Son
More than just a venue.
G-Son Studios offers something larger than square footage - it offers atmosphere. With its historic roots, natural acoustics, and open floor layout, the space creates a level of intimacy that larger commercial venues can’t replicate.
Artists perform closer to their audience. Events feel immersive rather than distant. The room carries decades of creative energy, shaping every rehearsal, showcase, or gathering held within it.
When you host your event at G-Son, you’re not just booking a space — you’re stepping into a living piece of Los Angeles music history

—LA Dance Chronicle
We are happy to have had @daeunychum rehearse at @gson_studios for their upcoming performance. Los Angeles Performance Practice presents NORRI, a new evening-length dance quartet where Korean folk dance and opera encounter electronic music, by seminal choreographer DaEun Jung, as part of the 2023 Live Arts Exchange [LAX] Festival.
NORRI is an evening-length group dance project inspired by the principle, form, and mode of Korean folk dance as a communal performance practice. NORRI, meaning “play” in Korean, creates an inclusive platform to experiment with collaborative pattern compositions while celebrating both collective accomplishments and individual grooves.
Re-stylized Korean dance vocabulary, spontaneous Pansori (Korean traditional folk opera) phrases, and continuous pulse of electronic sound interact with each other as the rhythmic encounters of past/present, formality/spontaneity, and uniformity/singularity suggest a new contemporary movement.](https://scontent-lga3-3.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/624620295_18054415109404838_1489183915201554780_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=102&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiRkVFRC5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=QYio4IlOMskQ7kNvwEfe667&_nc_oc=AdpF7pYPTcABeGTH-65gO8LERR_f8ew79yLyGpGBnd2GoDQdJjNgv5HcaFnPfpYgsUY&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-3.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=1NptsKK_bkgMzeDi6J_z5w&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQEkO7Qm_5md_6tjhSAYyo1PoHAhKnjvHO77FspE5xyv9XC-U4DRYGvgBC55SccfkZekeWjLppTw&oh=00_Afy9Cz9TRkPKcE2lGE3uxPrkYnuQJNx6C0O37AhBtcXbGw&oe=69C6F566)
