The label has a very special group of people behind it — especially the artists, many of whom work together and support each other with shows and recordings. We are really happy about the heart and soul that goes into making this not only a website and a collection of records, but also a community, and an experience.
Our artists' dedication helps to make The Dark Pleasures a different kind of record label; in many ways we're more of a musicians' cooperative than a traditional label. Our budgets are quite small, but through cooperation we're able to share great music with the world, while allowing artists full ownership of their own recordings.
Please also see our History for more info about what we do.

NOTE: Please do NOT email us large attachments (mp3s, large images, etc) without asking first. This really should go without saying, but this is considered bad form, and will likely get your messages deleted and ignored.
We love them. We are a small label though, so make sure you know about what we are about before you send them. Of course, we can't promise anything, except that we will listen to everything we receive. But if you feel you might fit into what we're doing, send us some music at least 192 kbps links via rapidshare, sendspace etc. We look forward to hearing it.
One other word of advice on demos: Don't forget to tell us a little bit about yourself, and why you're sending us your music. It doesn't need to be fancy — we don't want 8x10 glossies or massive press kits, a simple note is just fine — but we do want to get some sense of who you are, and why you want Dark Pleasure Records to hear your music. You might think "the music should speak for itself," but we're all about personal connections — so take this opportunity to make one!
