Label GB

The influential 4AD label was started in 1980 by music enthusiasts Ivo Watts-Russell and Peter Kent with financial help from Beggars Banquet, whose record store chain the pair worked for. Originally called Axis, they released an initial series of four 7" singles before finding out that the name Axis was already being used by another label. They quickly came up with a new name, 4AD, inspired by typography on a flyer announcing their releases. Under Ivo Watts-Russell's guidance, drawing influence from other UK indie labels such as Beggars Banquet, Postcard Records and Factory, 4AD quickly established a unique identity thanks to both the cover designs of Vaughan Oliver/v23 and the label's unique numbering system.

In 1992, 4AD entered a highly publicized Stateside distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records, opening offices in New York headed up by Robin Hurley. The label was largely run from California for most of the decade after Ivo Watts-Russell moved to Los Angeles in the mid-90s. In November 1999 it was announced that Martin Mills had taken over as chairman and relocated its HQ to London.

Decoding their unique numbering system reveals various formats like mail-order only releases (4AD), LPs (CAD), MP3 downloads (EAD), posters (FAD), videos (VAD) and more. The numeric portion of their catalog numbers

English singer-songwriter and record producer, Sohn, is known for his unique blend of electronic and soulful music. With a distinct sound that combines haunting vocals with atmospheric beats, *Sohn* has captivated audiences around the world.
Inspired by artists such as The Acid, Ben Khan, and Jack Garratt, *Sohn* has carved out his own niche in the music industry. His introspective lyrics and emotive melodies create a powerful listening experience that resonates with fans.
With a discography that includes albums like "Tremors" and "Rennen," *Sohn* continues to push boundaries and experiment with different musical styles. Whether performing live or producing tracks in the studio, *Sohn*'s passion for music shines through in every note.

Two years after the release of his celebrated debut album Tremors, Sohn is back with Rennen. In between records, the London-born artist has traded Vienna for the warmth of Los Angeles, but the influence of his former home still lingers (Rennen is a German verb meaning ‘to run’). Resuming a nocturnal schedule – as he did with Tremors – Sohn spent a month writing alone in northern California, recording until the morning most days. Including singles Signal and Conrad, the ten songs of Rennen are confidently direct and focused. Consciously exercising restraint, he has used only a handful of musical elements on each track, eager to allow the spotlight to shine on the vocals, melodies and rhythms. An ambitious exhibition of both his personal and artistic growth, Rennen confidently displays the evolution Sohn has undergone in just two short years. It's also a starter's pistol ringing out loud and clear with an unmistakable message: it's time to run again, and he’s ready.
