Uptown Recording was established 1995 in the basement of a Chicago three flat. At the beginning of the 20th century, Uptown was the heart and soul of entertainment in Chicago. Today, Uptown is considered one of the last bastions of the honest local culture in Chicago. Recently, Mayor Rahm Emanuel designated Uptown the entertainment district of Chicago with venues still thriving just steps from our doors at mainstays like the Green Mill, the Riviera Theatre, the Aragon Ballroom and the soon to be reopened Uptown Theatre.
