History

Early history

Studio 11 was initially opened in a coach house building at 11 East Superior Street by Alex Gross and Dan Scalpone, while students of sound engineering at Columbia College. By 1999 the studio expanded to the top floor at 209 W. Lake St. into two music studios to accommodate larger volumes of recording. Early adaptation of digital technology established Studio 11 as a premiere Chicago destination for recording rap and electronic music, highlighted by the early works of Kanye West,[2][3] Lupe Fiasco, Yung Berg, and Crucial Conflict, as well as more recent recordings with Rockie Fresh,[4] Cashis, and French rapper Gradur.

Music

Founder Alex Gross established himself with the recording of Payroll 125,[5][6] a rap album featuring the Kanye West produced song Never Change, subsequently sold to Jay Z and re-released on critically acclaimed album The Blueprint.[7] In 2011, Studio 11 was selected as a curator for WFMU New York's Free Music Archive, and has since released nearly 200 contributions totalling over 100,000 downloads, featuring artists such as Greenskeepers, Glass Lux,[8] Track Jackit, Angel Alanis[9] and The Dread.[10]
