Established in 2023, Disco Sundays is an innovative record label built on the foundation of human-centrism, community empowerment, and accessibility. Located in Baltimore, Maryland, the studio’s mission is to elevate local talent by providing time- and cost-effective tools that develop the overlooked DMV genius. A one-stop shop for all audio needs, artists can now access Disco Sundays’ recording, mixing, mastering, and production services without limits and 24/7 with the newly launched Membership Subscription.
Founded on the belief that great surroundings inspire great sounds, Disco Sundays is where high-quality digital and analog equipment, including full drum kits and other instruments, meets productivity, privacy, and passionate staff always ready to help. Immersed in an intimate setting without distractions, artists are empowered to unleash their creativity in a collaborative environment at an affordable price.
The Membership Subscription attests to the company’s mission, further simplifying the process. For a set price, artists, podcast hosts, and anyone looking for crisp, high-quality audio can access this laid-back hub of creativity on their terms and their own time. Through this approach, Disco Sundays infuses professional studio settings with the flexibility of recording at home, making it easy for clients to access cutting-edge quality and expert wisdom at their convenience.
The studio’s growing clientele, now approaching the 1,000 mark, inspired Disco Sundays to challenge outdated booking practices, allowing creatives to access the studio’s availability within seconds. “Traditionally, you text an engineer, asking for free appointments and hoping the studio is free on a specific day,” says founder Melvin Thomas. Now, through the Membership Subscription website, artists can view the availability of specific recording rooms and sessions with trained staff, making a booking with just a few clicks of a finger – regardless if that’s at sunrise, noon, or 3 in the morning.
At Disco Sundays, it’s all about enhancing the music industry through innovative ways and focusing on talent. This commitment is evident across the studio’s comprehensive offering, from the Membership Subscription to the Artist Development Program and the Course Membership. While the Artist Development Program focuses on supporting nascent artists through setting up social media platforms, recording high-quality content, and curating marketing plans, the Course Membership is where creators sharpen their skills, learn to write, play, and perform music better, attend networking events, and plan a sustainable, thriving career.
Central to Disco Sunday’s philosophy is versatility, reflecting the studio’s passion for embracing the diverse DMV talent. Whether it’s emerging hard rock artists, prolific rappers, film and video game producers, or country musicians, Disco Sundays offers the support, expertise, and equipment that lets true talent shine, regardless of genre or industry. “I envision Baltimore and DMV becoming a hub for artists. It’s almost like people think it’s too hard to succeed. Even in football, the Ravens lose every game they should win. DMV is widely overlooked, and the world is missing out on some of the greatest talent I’ve ever seen,” shares Melvin.
On a mission to empower local artists and deliver new solutions in the creative realm, Disco Sundays introduced its Membership Subscription plan, making recording possible without time constraints at any time of the day. More than convenience, this move was inspired by the founder’s innate passion for locating and developing artistic genius, which is overlooked in Maryland’s DMV area.
“Professional equipment isn’t only for the rich and famous,” says Melvin. “We believe that access to high-quality gear and an environment that sparks creativity is essential for every artist, and that’s exactly what we provide. Here, mixing, producing, and recording is easy like Sunday morning, fun like Sunday disco, and accessible to all.”
