LONDON, UK (MAY 28, 2026) – LabelWorx, the leading global distribution and label services provider for independent electronic music, today announced the launch of Elevate, a new growth initiative designed to help high-potential labels accelerate their growth through upfront capital, strategic planning, and priority promotional support.
Tailormade for the independent electronic music ecosystem, Elevate addresses one of the industry’s biggest operating challenges: the long delay between releases generating revenue, and labels receiving royalty payments. With traditional financing models often being inaccessible or ill-suited to the music business, many labels struggle to reinvest quickly enough to capitalize on momentum while scaling sustainably.
Through Elevate, LabelWorx will provide selected labels with $10 million in committed capital in round one, alongside tailored growth strategies, promotional opportunities via the company’s bespoke Pick N’ Mix promo offering, as well as ongoing strategic support designed to help labels expand effectively.
“Elevate is our commitment to the electronic music community and the labels shaping its future,” said Dominic Kerley, VP of LabelWorx. “Independent labels move culture forward but too often are constrained by slow royalty cycles and limited access to capital. We want to change that with Elevate. We’re combining funding with real strategy to help labels grow at the pace they deserve while building sustainable long-term business every step of the way.”
“Thanks to the advance from LabelWorx, I’ve been able to focus fully on my label and my music without worrying about where the next pay cheque was coming from,” said Ky William, Founder of Andhera Records. “That support has helped me grow the label twofold over the last 12 months.”
Participating labels will receive upfront capital advances before royalties land, a dedicated 12-month growth plan developed with a senior LabelWorx strategist, priority access to LabelWorx’s Pick N’ Mix promotional campaigns, mid-term strategic reviews focused on optimizing ROI, long-term partnerships, and more.
