Death By Audio

Death By Audio is a warehouse space on the first floor of an industrial building in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.^[1] It is also the name of an effects pedal company based in the space.

The space operates primarily as a work space for artists and musicians, but also functions as a recording studio, effects pedal factory, as well as an art and music venue, which receives generally positive reviews from critics ^[2].

The warehouse takes its name from the boutique effects pedal company, Death By Audio.

Founded in 2002 by Oliver Ackermann, Death By Audio effects ^[3] is a small hand-made effects pedal company, providing custom pedals for bands such as Lightning Bolt, Wilco, Nine Inch Nails and U2.

Starting in the spring of 2007 part of the space has been used as a venue for underground music and art events.^[2] Artists such as Japanther, Dirty Projectors, Growing, Tony Conrad, Thurston Moore, R. Stevie Moore, Thee Oh Sees, Zach Hill, Paint It Black (band), Future Islands, Black Pus, Pissed Jeans, JEFF the Brotherhood, Hammerhead (band), and Dan Deacon have performed at Death By Audio. The venue is run by Edan Wilber and Matt Conboy.

In 2007, the collective started Death By Audio Records in order to release material by the bands that practiced in the warehouse. Death By Audio Records began by releasing a cassette tape by Sisters and a double EP by Coin Under Tongue. The label released Rejoicer, the debut album by Grooms in 2009 before it was re-released on Kanine Records. In 2010, the label released albums by Brooklyn's ***Starring*** and Minneapolis' Seawhores.

In January 2009 the show space received non-profit status.^{[citation needed]}
