PatchWerk Recording Studios


Patchwerk Recording Studios is a recording studio located at 1094 Hemphill Avenue, West Midtown in Atlanta, GA. It was established in 1993 by former NFL offensive tackle Bob Whitfield of the Atlanta Falcons, and is currently owned and operated by Curtis Daniel III and Mike Wilson. The facility features two totally isolated recording studios, namely Studio 995 and Studio 9000, along with Studio 1019, a vocal tracking and editing studio in the 9000 wing of the building. Apart from the facility's use as a recording studio, the premises are also used for audio mastering in the Mastering Studio, as well as offering CD duplication and graphic design services.

Outside of the studio, Patchwerk Recordings was functional as a record label from 1993 to 2006, releasing records from the likes of Ras Kass, Vooodu, Meen Green, Jatis and the Southwest Click. They have also hosted a number of events and musical seminars, including the IdOMusic® series and Music University.

Founded in 1993 as a record label in Carson, California, by former Atlanta Falcons offensive tackle Bob Whitfield, after financing studio time to record a demo for his high school friend and aspiring rapper Ras Kass, Bob hired his college friend and entrepreneur B.J. Kerr, and together they released Ras Kass first single "Remain AnonymouS". The success of that single led to a licensing deal with Priority Records in 1995, and the release of Ras Kass debut album Soul on Ice the following year.

In mid 1995 Patchwerk expanded their operations by opening a full service recording studio in Atlanta, Georgia. The original studio was a 3000 sq. foot facility located at 995 McMillan Street, converted from a residential house in the Home Park area of West Midtown. The studio quickly gained a foothold in the market, attracting producers from the likes of Organized Noize, So So Def Recordings, LaFace Records and Hitco Music Publishing.
