Our Story

CK Records is a brand new Record Label specialising in Drum & Bass.

At the heart of Birmingham’s underground scene, DJ Komatose and Captain Apathy are driven by a shared passion for Drum and Bass. With years of experience in production, live performance, event management and content creation, their journey took a major turn in 2024.

After suddenly losing access to the studio where they created live content, the duo faced a turning point. What began as a setback quickly transformed into a vision: to launch a record label.

That vision became CK Records, a drum n bass record label designed not only to release cutting-edge DnB, but to reshape how independent music is made, shared, and rewarded.

We’re not here to be just another record label from the Midlands.

We’re here to be THE Drum and Bass label from Birmingham—a home for producers who want more:

Real revenue through fair and transparent artist deals

Support beyond the release, with creative freedom and collaborative growth

A platform built by working artists, who understand the grind

We’ve been there. We know how it feels to put in endless hours for a few Spotify pennies. That’s why we do things differently—because real music deserves real respect.

If you're passionate about the underground scene, whether you're producing, performing, or promoting, CK Records is your record label.

What we aim to give each of our Artists

Studio Time.
Dedicated studio time to put the finishing touches to their productions.
Performance Opportunities.
Opportunities to play at one of our regular events
Sync Deals.
Getting your music onto Television, Films and Games to maximise your revenue
Merchandising
We understand that direct sales will not be the driving factor in earning money. We will give each artist the opportunity to sell their own branded merchandise and take home the lion share of the profits

While we’re committed to releasing music through all the major digital platforms, our goal is to go beyond the standard approach. At our record label, we’re focused on helping artists unlock multiple revenue streams, not just the usual ones. We believe mechanical royalties are just as important—if not more so—than traditional performance royalties. By understanding and leveraging these income sources, artists can turn their passion for drum and bass into a sustainable and profitable career. If you're an artist or producer looking to make real money from your music—not just play for exposure—get in touch. We’ll show you how our approach can work for you.
