Throwback Thursday: A Creative Night at Tree Sound Studios with DJ Burn One
Back in July 2022, I pulled up to Tree Sound Studios to visit the legendary DJ Burn One, one of Atlanta’s most respected producers, engineers, and educators, as he was working on his new album. I came through mainly to hang, observe, and lend an ear as he crafted the vision. The moment I walked in, you could feel the creativity in the air — no rules, no pressure, just pure music happening in real time.
The vibe of the night was completely free-flowing. If someone felt something — whether they were a vocalist, musician, or just vibing in the room — they’d jump in and add their energy. It was dope to see that level of openness and collaboration driving the process. Watching Burn One build a record in that kind of environment reminded me that the best music often comes from moments of freedom, connection, and feel.
