We’re proud to introduce the Hot Soap Artist Residency, a new annual initiative dedicated to supporting distinctive recording projects shaped inside our space. Each year, the residency offers selected artists 4 days of dedicated complimentary studio recording time, including post-production support, representing up to €5,000 in studio and production support. The program creates space for a cohesive body of work to take shape, reflecting both the artist’s voice and the evolving spirit of the studio.

The program began in 2026 with an inaugural invited artist, Zina Melekki, a neo-classical project that expands our artistic landscape and marks the first chapter of this journey.

Projects created through the residency may be released independently or, by invitation, through Hot Soap Records, our curated digital imprint.

Applications are reviewed by a small panel of studio and music professionals. Selections are based on artistic merit, originality, and the proposed project.

Applications for future 2027 Artist Residency selections are now open and will run till the end of October.
