Funded by Don Jan, the studio is named The Olaxess Studio in honour of their late friend Isma Olaxess and is situated along Bulabira Road in Najjera.
On Saturday, August 3, Kasuku and his co-hosts from the Talk and Talk Show unveiled a new studio, which Kasuku stated was acquired for approximately $20,000, or around Shs73.8 million.

Kasuku explained that the studio was designed and assembled by the legendary Steve Jean of Fenon Records, with connections facilitated by one Sharon.
He recounted that prior to leaving Dembe FM, he had proposed the idea of starting a studio to Jan in November 2024. Jan agreed but was initially non-committal about when he would provide the funds for equipment and venue acquisition.
However, when Don Jan learned that they had been laid off from Dembe FM, he informed Kasuku that he was ready to finance the studio and was willing to invest up to Shs200 million.

Since leaving Dembe FM, the Talk and Talk Show, co-hosted by Kasuku, Eddie Ssendi, Jenkins Mukasa, and Batt Badru, has been held at various locations. The first was YayaXtra Residence, managed by their friend Stanley Ndawula. They then moved to Buyu Studios, owned by John Segawa, before Sheilah Gashumba, on Kasuku's behalf, persuaded Ali Khan, the owner of Nzou Media Studios, to allow them to record there.
They have now relocated from Nzou Media to The Olaxess Studio.
The launch was celebrated with great enthusiasm, with several fellow content creators, including Brian Mulondo, Shamim Mayanja, Gabriel Buule, and Saymore Official, attending the studio to discuss how the Talk and Talk Show is pioneering a new era of YouTubing that will attract advertisers. They also hosted a small party at the studio.
