Pete Namlook

Pete Namlook (born 1960 as Peter Kuhlmann, died 2012) was an ambient & electronic music producer & composer. He founded the German record label FAX +49-69/450464 in 1992. He leaves an impressive body of work, with over 50 albums in his catalog. Releases on the FAX label are coded beginning either PK, PW, PS, or Y/T. PK (Kuhlmann) releases are either solo projects or Namlook collaborating with German musicians. PW (World) releases are Namlook collaborating with non-German musicians. PS (Sublabel) are releases which do not feature Namlook. Y/T (Yesterday & Tomorrow) is a sublabel that aims to "connect the old music with the future of music. Basically [its] aim is to show that ambient is not only a new music born from the techno culture of our days but more a sound which was there from the beginning." (quoting Peter Kuhlmann) Originally each release was limited to 500/1000/2000 copies. Popular albums were re-released on the AW (Ambient World) label. FAX albums are available at eMusic and the iTunes store. For FAX reviews, visit 2350.org Read more on Last.fm.
