At which Berkeley studio was most of Dookie recorded?

At which Berkeley studio was most of Dookie recorded? Most of it was recorded at Fantasy Studios.

Green Day recorded Dookie in 1993, shortly after signing with Reprise Records and beginning its first collaboration with producer Rob Cavallo. Fantasy Studios was located in Berkeley, California, close to the Bay Area punk scene that had shaped the band. The sessions lasted about three weeks, giving Green Day substantially more time and resources than it had enjoyed while making its earlier independent albums.

The album was not recorded entirely in Berkeley: some work also took place at Music Grinder in Los Angeles. That detail can cause confusion, but Fantasy Studios remains the canonical answer because it was the principal recording location and is the studio most directly associated with Dookie. The finished album was released on February 1, 1994, and helped bring melodic punk into the mainstream.

Fantasy later became known for many major recordings, including Journey’s Escape. It closed permanently in 2018, but its connection to Dookie remains part of Green Day’s recording history.
