Wrensilva x Gold-Diggers — Making Music in Hollywood

“There’s a nostalgia and vintage element to something you can hold and grasp.” That’s one of the first things founder/owner Dave Neupert said when we sat down to chat about his East Hollywood bar/hotel/recording studioGold-Diggers.

Vinyl is also a big part of Gold-Diggers’ ethos. The DJs spin vinyl. The vinyl selection in the hotel is curated by Justin Gage from Aquarium Drunkard. Of course Gold-Diggers also utilizes streaming technology so it’s no surprise that Wrensilva was a natural fit for the campus – specifically the state-of-the-art recording studio. The M1 console presides over the Gold-Diggers Sound lobby. As Dave told us, “The product is amazing.  It’s beautifully crafted.  It fits in with our design aesthetic. The quality of the hi-fi is great and it’s a nice compliment to our studio space.“Dave thoughtfully considered both history and the future in the development of the Gold-Diggers campus. From vintage touches in the décor to state of the art studio and venue equipment, both old and new exist harmoniously. We feel perfectly at home in the space and we are happy to contribute our own mash-up of old and new in the form of a Wrensilva console.
