Domino Recording Company, generally known as Domino Records, is an independent record label based in London. There is also a wing of the label based in the United States, releasing Domino artists' music from the label's Brooklyn offices. In addition, Stephen Pastel presides over the subsidiary label Geographic Music, which releases more unusual British and World music. Domino Records was the name of two United States record labels which are now defunct: Domino Records (1917-1917) Domino Records (1924-1933) First U.S. label The first U.S. Domino Records, a United States based label, debuted in 1917 and went out of business later that same year. ...

Founded in 1993, by Laurence Bell and his partner Jacqui Rice, the label's first release was a Sebadoh single, licensed from Sub Pop records for release in the UK. Many of the early releases were by American artists who in the USA were signed to Drag City (Smog, Will Oldham, Royal Trux), a relationship which continues to this day. Success was not immediate, as labels such as Domino, who were releasing more established American rock and unusual British music, were marginalised during the Britpop era, but a steady stream of new signings gave the label increasing credibility. Recent high profile releases from Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand and The Kills have only acted as a catalyst to this, and Domino is now one of the longest running and most successful independent record labels in the UK.
