We are taking a handful of friends up on their offers to loan us some mics, pre-amps, headphones, and a couple of other things to keep us rolling. However, with the economy how it is and the number of musicians and independent businesses out there struggling, we don’t feel it would be right to accept any monetary donations or benefit money. Our studio is functional and in the context of today’s music industry, our business is relatively healthy. Though this is a major setback, it will not stop us and we fortunately will be able to survive this without having to accept charity that may be better spent on those more needy. Regardless, we thank everyone out there who has offered us support, and hope to encourage that spirit of generosity and charity towards others that are caught in bad situations. If you’d really like to help support our cause, please continue to buy independent records from independent retailers, and continue to turn on your friends and family to Daptone’s music and that of like-minded independent labels.
