Domino is an independent label founded in Putney, South West London by *a694357* and his partner Jacqui Rice in 1993. The label initially focused on American acts such as *Sebadoh*, *Pavement* or *Royal Trux* before signing British acts in the late '90s.

The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The company operating the label, *Warp Records*, diversified, establishing a publishing arm and a series of labels (*Double Six Recordings*, *Weird World Record Co.*, *Rephlex*, ...).

Four Tet is a British post-rock/electronic musician, DJ, producer, and label boss. He was born in September 1977 in London, England, UK. Kieran Hebden, his real name, is not only a recording artist but also runs his own label called Text Records. He started his music career as part of the post-rock band Fridge in 1994 before transitioning into more electronic sounds under the alias Four Tet. Additionally, Hebden has collaborated extensively with jazz drummer Steve Reid during the latter's life.

kieran hebden is, it has to be said, something of a genius. the groundwork for 'pause' was laid when 'dialogue' - his debut solo album under the guise of four tet - landed in 1999, an album that redrew the parameters of inventive dance music. a peculiar mix of live-sounding instrumental jazz and technologically super-precise laptop dance trickery, it sounded nothing like hebden's actual group - the post-rockers fridge - and, as it happened, very little like anything else in existence. where 'dialogue' employed jazz sax and flute in its evocation of a 21st-century jazz meltdown, 'pause' goes even further, coiling whispers of harp and zither over layer-on-layers of fidgeting, rattling percussion. his inspirations? well, like his friend and protege:, canadian tech-wizard manitoba (whose 'start breaking my heart' is easily the equal of 'pause'), hebden collects sounds and melodies from a dizzying array of places - ancient british folk music, the rattle of typewriter keys, the gurgle of running water, even a field recording of a children's playground. genius? there really is no other word for it.
