Welcome to Wud Records! \,,/(^_^)\,,/
Wud Records is an independent music label and archive, founded in the UK in 1984, and now based in the heart of Europe.
A vast catalogue of original work lives here — finished albums, demos, unreleased material, and fragments spanning decades.
Some of it is polished. Some of it isn’t. All of it is real.
Our mission: “To bring beautiful music to its natural home – ears.”
New to Wud Records? Start here!
These four releases are the best entry points into the Wud Records catalogue:
- Flicker: At Least 1000 Words – instrumental, atmospheric, progressive
- Dark Company: Rage in Heaven – rocky, lyrical, sequenced, synthetic and strangely danceable
- Pok: Anthology – songs, stories and psychedelia
- The Bastard Sons of Dennis: Cosy Lube Turtle – acoustic Blue Öyster Cult deep cuts covers

Music
There are many, many hours of original music here, spanning multiple projects, styles and periods.
Some releases are complete albums. Others are collections, experiments, or recovered work from the vault.
This is not a curated highlight reel. It is a body of work.
