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.
Musical style
Lo Recordings mainly specialize in left-field electronic music 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".
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.
Recently Lo have developed two new labels: Loaf, 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.
