JB's state-of-the-art recording studio, THE LOFT, is an ode to all things musical.

The airy natural-light-infused control room is a "home away from home", and the perfornance space is the perfect size for small ensemble, full drum kit, choir, etc.

Aside from the microphone cupboard (JB’s pride and joy), the studio contains some of the world’s finest recording equipment and musical instruments, both acoustic and electronic. Guitars by Taylor, Gibson, Sadowsky, Fender & Ovation. Some of JB’s most prized pieces include a few fine vintage Neumann & AKG mics, Urei 1176, dbx 160, Manley Labs & Avalon processors, and it is no wonder THE LOFT has hosted so many international and South African recording artists.

From Watershed, Freshly Ground, Wambali, HHP and Ladysmith Black Mambazo to The Corrs, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Ringo Madlingozi, Carlo Mombelli, Soweto Gospel Choir, & Loyiso, to Vusi Mahlasela, Wouter Kellerman, Danny K and PJ Powers, the walls of Joe’s Garage/The Loft have seen it all.
