About Me

Darque Productions LLC is a Detroit based independent promoter of elektro-industrial, gothic, synthpop events, concerts, and more.
Darque Productions was founded by DJ Joe Darque in early 2001. Since its inception Darque Productions has been growing steadfast by working with local, regional, national and international acts. We have also worked closely with many independent record labels such as Metropolis, Nilaihah, Dependent, A Different Drum, etc... in hopes of further exposing underground music.
From exclusive special events (MotorPop & Motorpop II), to US tours (VNV, Assemblage 23, The Sister of Mercy and Cruxshadows, Darque Productions has rapidly built a solid foundation and quality reputation for their honest as well as hardworking business ethic of concert promotion.
We are business people AND we are also music fans.
Our mission is to bring the best possible events to the city and leave an everlasting POSITIVE mark on the Detroit concert scene.
For those who have attended and continue to attend our events we offer a huge THANKS for your support.
