Meet LAGOODVIBE, the 100% Solar Recording Studio on Wheels

“Location is inspiration” for this
mobile musical hotspot.

There’s a certain magic that happens when bands convene in the studio to record music, but even the glow of the console, the smell of essential oils, and that oh-so-comfortable control room couch can get a bit stale for those who are a bit long in the tooth. Enter LAGOODVIBE, a tricked out, carbon-neutral tour bus outfitted with all the latest studio gear that is 100% solar powered. No plugs, no problem. Wanna roll out to Joshua Tree and lay down some licks beneath the desert sky? Done and done. Conceived by producer Joachim Garraud—whose credits include work with David Bowie, Beyoncé, Kylie Minogue, David Guetta, and more—the bus has room for four people plus a driver, and includes organic meals. For a full list of studio gear and amenities, click here.
