Release 002 out Feb 17th!

Groundwerk Recordings is a label driven by art>ego. Groundwerk’s sound reflects the moody depth of an urban landscape existing between ocean and forest. From bright and outgoing summer days to dark and heavy winter nights, our releases aim to tell the story of the four seasons experienced in our west coast city.

Music featured on this label has sprouted from grassroots music community initiatives in Vancouver, Canada. The most predominant of these initiatives is the Groundwerk Listening Party, a monthly social meet-up for music enthusiasts to connect and collaborate. With these events gaining momentum, Groundwerk Recordings is born, ready to present its community of artists to the world.

At these Listening Parties, the music listened to throughout the night is submitted by local artists leading up to the event. Each event features a keynote presentation on a range of topics relevant to pushing the music scene forward in Vancouver. These events are informal affairs, not simply for producers, but anyone who enjoys and appreciates local music.

Beyond our listening parties, we host dance music events featuring artists from our community in alternative spaces around Vancouver. Head over to our Youtube page to have a peak into these events www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cm97w25jvzA.
