Before each event begins, there will be panel talks, workshops and Q&As with each collective and some of the artists. This weekend will see a talk with DJ Gigola and MCR-T at the London studio, where they will talk give their DJing tips, and talk about how people can put themselves out there as artists.
Other talks will include a discussion on why representation is important in nightlife, as well as how to diversify it with Foundation FM on April 8, moving beyond tokenism on April 22 with INTERVENTION, a production workshop with DJ MELL G on April 29 and a discussion on the centralization of music scenes and its consequences on May 6, with Explorers.
Each talk will be hosted by performance artist and DJ Lewis G. Burton, with tickets limited to just 20. Applications can be made here, with priority given to people from marginalised backgrounds.
