Engine Studios shut its doors permanently in May of 2012. This page exists as a reminder of all who worked there- from the ownership, management, staff and clients who made the great music created there over 13 years a possibility. If you know someone who worked there or dig a record made there, please give us a like!..

IF you think you have analog tape masters at Engine, please get ahold of me...I've sent out numerous requests for people to pick up there reels over the years, this time for real its bulk erase or the dumpster. I have very very few reel pre-2000 (they must have went in early purges) but but post 2000 recorded at Engine its probably here if you left..come get it please! if you want a digital transfer we can do it for short period of time cheap..but get ahold of me ASAP.

While people that follow these things already now, its time for a public announcement:
Engine Studios as you know it , is closing its doors on Memorial Day Weekend this year.
We aren't going away -we are just re-organizing if you will, in a new location. Merging with our old friend John McEntire at Soma studios we will now all be operating under the Soma roof and name.
Same great people, same great gear, making the same great records.
The Engine space has been a great asset for the musical community for last 12 years and we had a good run but if
you want to keep doing this, you need to be able change with times, we do and so we did. look for future updates here. until we get the transition fully sorted out.

Soma Electronic Music Studios is a fully featured 24+ track analog and digital recording studio owned and operated by John McEntire in Chicago, IL.

Check this out...This was done at Engine awhile back, one of the few records I got a bit hands on with, Recorded by my man Neil. I like it quite a bit (Adam is one my favorite Guitar slingers in town) and its aging quite well so pick it up at least digitally, and go see these guys live playing tonight at Cal's, I might even make it!

6 track album
