WRKS is more than a label.
WRKS is a platform built for the underground. We back the raw and the real, from heavy-hitting techno and rolling DnB to deep grooves and chaotic breaks. If it bangs in the bush or rattles a warehouse wall, it belongs here.
Born in Newcastle, WRKS is a collective of DJs, producers, and creatives pushing the next wave of rave culture. We throw events, drop releases, and back local talent that doesn’t follow trends, they set them.
This is for the heads. For the dancers. For the scene.
Minimal fluff. Max impact.
What We Do
Events: Bush doofs, warehouse raves, and underground club nights built by the community, for the community.
Releases: Pushing out genre-bending tracks across DnB, techno, hard groove, and more.
Platforming artists: Supporting local talent with gigs, mixes, and a space to grow.
Building a scene: WRKS isn’t about headliners or hype, it’s about culture. We’re here for the long run.
Who’s It For
If you’re into heavy sounds, open-air chaos, dusty dancefloors, and music that pushes boundaries, WRKS is for you.
DJs, dancers, producers, creatives, if you’re building something real, you’re already part of the crew.
Our Values
Respect the land, especially for bush events. Leave no trace.
Respect each other – no harassment, no discrimination, no ego.
Keep it real – no chasing clout, no playing it safe.
Community first – WRKS grows through connection, not competition.
Sound matters – we back artists who push limits, not algorithms.
Behind Wrks
WRKS started because I was sick of seeing artists get boxed in.
Watching other labels tell producers to change their sound, water it down, or chase trends, it didn’t sit right. That’s not what music should be about. I wanted to build something that did the opposite: back artists for who they are, not who they’re told to be.
Back in 2023, it started under the name Back End Records, a more commercial attempt that didn’t feel right. It lacked purpose. WRKS came out of that shift, a move toward real community, real sound, and real freedom.
Now, it’s a collective, a label, and a platform that backs artists who stay true to themselves.
No one here’s chasing the algorithm. We’re building something underground, honest, and built to last.
