Pete Namlook (born 1960 as Peter Kuhlmann, died 2012) was an ambient & electronic music producer & composer. He founded the German record label FAX +49-69/450464 in 1992. He leaves an impressive body of work, with over 50 albums in his catalog.

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 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)
