Refoundation
In 2005, 10 years after Motor Music was founded in 1994, the founder Tim Renner and Motor Music left Universal Music Group and re-founded Motor Entertainment. The Motor Music within the Motor Entertainment again operates as an independent label. After leaving Universal Music, Motor Entertainment continues in discovering new artists. The company also started to add other businesses into the music label including publication (e.g. Alice Phoebe Lou, L'aupaire, Sophia, Super700, PeterLicht), artists management (e.g. Max Raabe, Christoph Israel, Malakoff Kowalski, Fargo), and film and advertisement selection (e.g. 102 Boyz, BHZ, Jan Blomqvist, Teenage Mutants, Moonlight Breakfast).
