ABOUT CRUISE
Welcome to Cruise Control Amsterdam, a house-hold recording studio and talent company in the heart of Amsterdam, established in 1989. Located just steps away from the iconic Dam Square, our studio is hidden inside the bunker of a former nuclear shelter; a unique creative space beneath a building that today houses a vibrant community of innovative companies, makers and entrepreneurs.
With Amsterdam as one of Europe’s most central and internationally connected cities, Cruise Control has grown into a creative hub and community for both emerging talent and established artists. Over the years, some of the biggest names in music have worked within our walls, while many others have developed, shaped and launched their sound from here.
