History
Corsica Studios was founded by Amanda Moss and Adrian Jones who started hosting events in London in 1999 in a series of short-term spaces. One of the first of these was located in Corsica Street, Highbury, which gave the project and the current venue its name.

It moved to its current location in Elephant and Castle in 2002 and was Initially known as Corsica Arts Club. In 2007 a new Funktion-One soundsystem was installed, a high-quality system which was rare for a smaller London club at that time, and the venue became more focused on hosting DJ and club nights. From 2010 Boiler Room used the venue as an early base, and the Hyperdub label has hosted many events there, including its tenth anniversary in 2014 and its Ø series (2017–2020) which billed label artists with guests including Björk and Laurel Halo, with installations and art pieces in the second room.
