Lo Recordings is a label founded in 1995 by Jon Tye. They are noted for their strong visual style thanks to Non-Format, with whom they work very closely and won a D&AD award for several of their releases sleeves. [1]
Lo Recordings mainly specialize in left-field electronic music [2] with artists such as Grimes, Black Devil, Susumu Yokota, and Fischerspooner amongst many others. This is reflected in the company's motto: "Lo Recordings – Provider of quality esoteric music since 1995". [3]
Along with electronic music Lo Recordings has also released various other genres. This is exemplified by bands such as The Chap, who have seven albums on Lo. [4]
Recently Lo have developed two new labels: Loaf, [5] for new artists, and Loeb, for vinyl 12-inches. There is a sister company, Hub 100 Publishing Ltd, and in the last few years have developed a production music library imprint called Lo Editions in conjunction with BMGZomba production music.
Lo Recordings also runs Lo & Behold, a shop and creative space in London showcasing a diverse selection of exhibitions, installations and one-off events. [6]
Lo Recordings has worked with many artists and has over 70 releases spread over three sub-labels. These include many full albums and compilations. Some of the artists associated with Lo Recordings are:
