In the live room of Kenneth Blume's new studio Putnam Hill, a whiteboard proffers its operating ethos in blue marker: “Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.”
@kennybeats built @theputnamhill after working from home began dictating what he could make. Recording more musicians and instruments simultaneously required more space. “I really just need a bigger room,” he remembers deciding. “I don’t need fancy gear.”
The studio does contain plenty of fancy gear, though, much of it custom-built in Putnam Hill’s signature green. But every detail is designed to make the technology recede. “A laptop producer and a tape producer should be equally as comfortable here,” Blume says. “I wanted this place to not ever feel like you can’t do anything,” he adds. “‘Cause I know how that felt.”

When MusicTech drops by Kenneth Blume's studio @theputnamhill for his cover story, he recalls the making of Geese's zeitgeist-seizing album Getting Killed, which was the first full-length recorded there.
If Getting Killed sounds as though the Brooklyn rock band is holding on for dear life, Blume says, that is how it felt making it. "More so than some kind of crazy production technique or some insane gear manifesto, what made that record was capturing what was happening with them at that time authentically and not adding anything to it."
@geesebandnyc "broke a lot of my gear" making that record, he remarks – including three of his guitars, just to nail the solo in Bow Down. Read more of @kennybeats' cover story at the link in bio.

Kenneth Blume wishes he had a billboard. Its message? It's okay to still call him Kenny. Previously known as hip-hop producer and internet personality Kenny Beats, Blume started using his given name professionally about a year ago, a period of evolution and new roles: marquee rock producer, film composer and studio founder.
In his own Los Angeles studio, Putnam Hill, Blume has made records with Geese, Rico Nasty, Fcukers, IDLES and many more. It's become the perfect setting to realise his wide-ranging vision as an producer. “My style is being invisible,” he says, “making people feel like they’re getting as close as they can to whatever that dream is.”
