ID Labs (also stylized as I.D. Labs) is a Pittsburgh-based music production and engineering team, composed of Jeremy "Big Jerm" Kulousek, Eric "E. Dan" Dan and Zachary "Sayez" Vaughan.[1] They are best known for their extensive work with Pittsburgh hip-hop artists Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller. The team shares a name with their recording studio, which is located in Etna, Pennsylvania.[2]

Career

E. Dan began his career working as a DJ and recording engineer, and performing in and producing for the hip-hop group Strict Flow.[3] He opened the original ID Labs studio in 2004, in Pittsburgh's Lawrenceville neighborhood.[4] Big Jerm began making beats in high school, and attended audio engineering school in New York. Dan and Jerm met in 2008, when Jerm was dropping off recording session files at ID Labs for work he had been doing with Wiz Khalifa. The two began making beats together, while Jerm interned at the studio. Sayez joined forces with the pair in 2010.[5]

ID Labs began working with Khalifa during the creation of one of the rapper’s early mixtapes. Dan offered Khalifa a job at the studio sweeping floors and answering phones, in exchange for extra recording time.[6] The team recognized Khalifa’s talent, and began what would become a long-term working relationship. To date, ID Labs have produced a large percentage of Khalifa’s commercially released material, including 6 tracks on Rolling Papers and 7 tracks on O.N.I.F.C..[7]

Big Jerm met Mac Miller in 2009 via Myspace. Miller began recording at ID Labs studio, which MTV.com states was "pivotal in Mac's development".[8] The team produced the majority of Miller’s debut album Blue Slide Park, and have produced a substantial portion of his other work.

In addition to Khalifa and Miller, ID Labs have worked with Snoop Dogg, Fallout Boy, Juicy J, Ludacris, Freddie Gibbs and Rockie Fresh.
