Domino records is an independent record label based in London, United Kingdom. There is also a wing of the label based in the United States, releasing Domino artists' music from the label's Manhattan offices. In addition, Stephen Pastel presides over the subsidary label Geographic Records, which releases more unusual British and World music.
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. 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 Scottish band 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.
2003 saw the label's 10th anniversary - there were a number of new releases, as well as a compliation album and a series of gigs in London under the Worlds of Possibility banner, to celebrate the label's first decade in October of that year.
