Nettwerk Music Group is an independent record label founded in 1984.[1] [2]

The Vancouver-based company was created by principals Terry McBride and Mark Jowett[2] as a record label to distribute recordings by the band Moev, but the label expanded in Canada and internationally.[2] Initially specializing in electronic music including alternative dance and industrial,[2] the label expanded its roster to include pop, rock and numerous singer-songwriters in the late 1980s and 1990s. Early artists included Coldplay, Sarah McLachlan, and Barenaked Ladies.

In 2023, Nettwerk recapitalized to invest in catalog acquisitions and artist investments.[3] The label was named in Billboard’s Indie Power Players list in 2024.[4]
