city of progress
DJ Le Spam built his studio in North Miami, FL and calls it the City of Progress. This is also home to his label - Spamusica Records. He has recorded each of the Spam Allstars studio albums there, as well as two side projects Rumberos de la 8 and LOS GATOS LECHEROS.
The studio is also available for other musicians interested in working with DJ Le Spam, or recording with his vintage gear (amps, mics, instruments, plate reverb, etc...). If you've been there, you know what we're talking about.
