Take Back the Lab! The Future of Music Starts Here
An Exclusive Club for Music Lovers Who Fund Real Artists and Produce the Greatest Albums Never Made
🎵 Why RATlab Exists
The music industry has become a corporate machine—pushing out soulless music to “consumers” while real artists and passionate fans are ignored, excluded, or exploited.
Truly great music isn’t being made—not because it can’t be, but because the industry no longer supports it.
RATlab was created to fix that.
đź‘Ą Who We Are
RATlab is an exclusive, member-funded record label and service club for music lovers who want to restore artistic freedom, support true talent, and be part of the creative process—not just watch from the sidelines.
We’re a guild of patrons, mentors, and Executive Producers building the future of music—one incredible record at a time.
🌱 What We Believe
Music is art, not product.
Artists should be free—never owned.
Fans deserve a real role, not just a playlist.
Patronage is not dead—it’s the future.
đź’ˇ How It Works
RATlab is not a label in the traditional sense.
It’s a creative ecosystem, built for connection, purpose, and pure music.
🎙️ Exclusive Membership — Join a private community of music lovers, patrons, and visionaries.
💸 Member-Funded Grants — Your dues directly support 100 artists per year, with no contracts or strings.
