Pete Namlook (born Peter Kuhlmann, in Frankfurt, Germany) is an ambient and electronic music producer and composer. In 1992, he founded the German record label FAX +49-69/450464, which he masterminds. Inspired by the music of Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream, he also composes his own albums. Releases on the FAX label are coded beginning either PK, PW, PS, or Y/T.

PK (Kuhlmann) releases are either solo projects or Namlook collaborating with German musicians. PW (World) releases are Namlook collaborating with non-German musicians. PS (Sublabel) are releases which do not feature Namlook. Y/T (Yesterday & Tomorrow) is a sublabel that aims to "connect the old music with the future of music.

Basically [its] aim is to show that ambient is not only a new music born from the techno culture of our days but more a sound which was there from the beginning." (quoting Peter Kuhlmann) Originally each release was limited to 500/1000/2000 copies. Popular albums were re-released on the AW (Ambient World) label. FAX albums are available at eMusic and the iTunes store. For FAX reviews, visit 2350.org. ...show less
