Nightshift Studios
Nightshift Studios is a recording studio at 27 Whittington Avenue, Woolston, Christchurch, founded and operated by Dutch-born engineer Arnie van Bussel and in continuous operation since approximately 1976. Built around a custom-built console in a converted outbuilding at the rear of van Bussel's home, Nightshift became one of the key spaces of the New Zealand independent music scene — capturing Flying Nun's debut release (The Pin Group's Ambivalence, 1981), The Clean's Tally Ho, and a string of Bats albums across three decades, while remaining open to every genre from death metal to choral music.
