Big Wheel Recreation was an independent record label based in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. It was formed in the fall of 1994 by Rama Mayo (at the time a student at Northeastern University) and Richard P. Cummings. Started as a hobby, Big Wheel became a fully functioning record label in 1999. The label took a hiatus from releasing records sometime in 2004 until September 23rd, 2015 when it released an audiobook version of Hyena by Jude Angelini.
