This feature-length documentary chronicles the creation of Electric Lady Studios, the legendary recording space born from Jimi Hendrix’s groundbreaking vision. Rising from the ashes of a bankrupt Greenwich Village nightclub in 1970, it became the first-ever artist-owned commercial studio, setting a new precedent for creative control in the music industry. Featuring rare archival footage and interviews with iconic musicians, the film explores how Electric Lady shaped the sound of Hendrix’s final recordings and went on to host generations of legendary artists, cementing its place in rock history.
