  • Mo’ Wax ist ein britisches Plattenlabel, das in den 1990er Jahren vor allem durch stilprägende Veröffentlichungen im Bereich des Trip-Hop bekannt wurde und dadurch zu einem der wichtigsten Label des Genres wurde. (de)
  • Mo' Wax est un label britannique de musique, en particulier de trip hop et de hip-hop expérimental créé au début des années 1990. Il a été fondé par James Lavelle. Mo'wax a pas mal perdu de sa superbe dans les années 2000, après avoir forgé sa réputation dans les années 1990, mais il existe toujours et fait maintenant partie du label indépendant Beggars Group, après avoir été surtout distribué en France par Source, division du groupe Virgin. La création du studio est considérée par certains comme les prémices de la scène du hip-hop expérimental, et reconnu comme le noyau principal durant les années 1990. Parmi les artistes du label, on pourra citer DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, Howie B, La Funk Mob, Money Mark ou encore Blackalicious. Les compilations "Headz" et "Headz 2" sorties respectivement en 1994 et 1997 permettent de se faire une idée du son défendu par le label, et réservent quelques surprises, puisqu'Autechre, généralement classé electronica, y figure.

  • Mo' Wax was a British record label founded by James Lavelle in 1992. The label was not co-founded by Tim Goldsworthy, as is often reported. Steve Finan became co-owner shortly after. Mo' Wax came to recognition for being at the forefront of trip hop, turntablism and alternative hip hop during the mid-1990s. The label is also responsible for bringing attention to the graffiti artist Futura 2000 by using his artwork on many of its releases in the early to mid-1990s. Lavelle signed partial ownership of Mo' Wax over to A&M Records (now part of the Universal Music Group) in 1996. When their deal expired he signed with Beggars Group, who still own some of the catalogue. The name derives from "Mo' Wax Please", the title of a column James Lavelle wrote in the magazine Straight No Chaser and the Oxford club night he ran. This in turn was influenced by the Freddie Roach LP, Mo' Greens Please on Blue Note records. The original Mo' Wax logo as used on the early releases was designed by UK graphic designer Ian Swift "Swifty", but the label grew their reputation by featuring artwork contributions from Futura, Robert Del Naja (from Massive Attack), She One and Req 1. Ben Drury was the main designer responsible for the art direction and design of the label. The label also released toys and art prints under their Mo' Wax Arts (MWA) imprint, and collaborated with artists such as Mark Gonzales, Mike Mills, and Money Mark. The label shut in 2002 and was celebrated in 2014 with an exhibition titled "Urban Archaeology: 21 years of Mo' Wax". In 2015, Lavelle licensed back the Mo'Wax label to release Elliott Power's "Murmur" single as a limited edition hand stamped 12" vinyl. On 26 February 2016, Elliott Power's debut album, Once Smitten, was released on Mo'Wax in collaboration with Marathon Artists. This is the labels most recent release. (en)
