Four:twenty Recordings

Four:twenty Recordings was established in Bristol, England, in 2001 by Luke Allen. It emerged as an independent label during a period when British and European electronic music labels were important channels for distributing club-oriented music, particularly through singles, EPs, DJ support, and specialist dance-music media. From its beginning, the label presented itself as a platform for innovative and forward-thinking electronic dance music. The label's approach combined established names from the dance-music scene with artists coming directly from underground production networks. This gave Four:twenty a broad roster profile: it was not limited to developing unknown artists, nor did it operate solely as a vehicle for already prominent producers. Instead, its catalogue connected emerging talent with artists who already had credibility among DJs and electronic-music listeners. Artists associated with Four:twenty releases included Loco Dice, Martin Buttrich, James Mowbray, D Ramirez, Tom Demac, and Glimpse. These associations place the label within house, techno, and adjacent electronic dance-music contexts, although the available material does not establish a complete genre taxonomy or full discography. The label's catalogue appears to have been built around producer-led releases and club functionality, consistent with its stated mission and independent positioning. By the period described in the available reference material, Four:twenty had operated for nearly a decade and had released music by a substantial range of artists. The supplied sources do not document a later ownership change, acquisition, definitive closure, or confirmed continuing operations. They also do not provide dependable information about revenue, staff beyond the founder, headquarters after its founding period, or a current official website. The label's present status therefore remains unknown.
