LAB Records is an independent record label founded in Manchester in 2007.
Priding itself on a strong ability to spot and develop young talent, the label’s reputation as the perfect stepping stone to a prolific career enhances by the week.
Now beyond its fifteenth year, LAB’s roster of talent expands all the time and its bands are now regulars on some of the most influential music mediums and live events the world over. The label’s 450+ catalogue releases have been streamed billions of times and the LAB brand enjoys close ties with some of the most forward-thinking individuals and organisations in the entertainment industry.
LAB – both frontline and artist services – is distributed by ADA. It has multiple top 40 albums under its belt – including most notably The K’s ‘Pretty On The Internet’ – which became only the second ever release on a Manchester label (and the first since New Order on the iconic Factory Records in 1989) to reach the UK album chart summit in August 2025.
LAB is served by staff in Manchester, London and New York.
