🎤 A message from Raph:
"When I started darkTunes back in 2013, it was just a tiny idea—a dream to create a space where alternative, goth, and metal artists could feel at home. Over the years, it’s grown into so much more than I ever imagined, and that’s entirely because of you. This year, 2024, has been a reminder of how incredible our community is. To every band, DJ, fan, supporter, partner, and friend—you’ve helped build this into something truly special. I can’t thank you enough for your belief in what we’re doing. 🖤
What drives me the most is the connection we’ve built together. In a world that often feels overwhelming and chaotic, we’ve created something that stands for honesty, passion, and collaboration. This label isn’t just a business—it’s a family. It’s a place where artists can grow, where fans can discover something meaningful, and where we all feel like we belong.
This year has been about so much more than just the music. It’s been about proving that working together, supporting one another, and staying true to what we love can overcome any challenge. And while the road ahead is long, I’m more motivated than ever to keep building. My label is a place where bands feel supported, where fans find connection, and where we all celebrate the unique and the unconventional, and I’m honored that you are all part of it!
Thank you for every moment of support, every stream and download, every CD or T-shirt you got from us, every message, and every brick you’ve added to this foundation. Together, we’re building something that truly matters.
Here’s to the future, and here’s to all of you."
