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*, ...).

A post-punk band hailing from Detroit, Michigan, USA, Protomartyr has established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the music scene. With their unique blend of raw energy and thought-provoking lyrics, they have captivated audiences worldwide.
Formed in [year], Protomartyr quickly gained recognition for their powerful live performances and critically acclaimed albums. Their sound is characterized by intense guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and frontman Joe Casey's distinctive vocals.

Protomartyr release their fifth album, Ultimate Success Today, on Domino. Following the release of Relatives In Descent, the band’s critically acclaimed headlong dive into the morass of American life in 2017, Ultimate Success Today continues to further expand the possibilities of what a Protomartyr album can sound like.
