Welcome back to the Uprawr Podcast!
Today’s guest is Mark Orr, the head of LAB Records, which he’s been running since 2005. In recent years, LAB has found major success with artists like The K’s, South Arcade, and many more.

We spoke with Mark about how he discovered and signed South Arcade, what it felt like to achieve LAB’s very first number one album with The K’s, and what the future holds for the label. From the sounds of it, this is just the beginning & Mark has some incredibly exciting years ahead.

There’s a lot to take away in this episode, from how DIY labels compare to majors, to what it really takes to succeed in that world.
Let’s get into it.
