About.

A listening party is traditionally a gathering of colleagues and friends for the shared experience of listening & reacting in real time to a new recording. It offers creators a chance to announce and celebrate new work, receive immediate feedback, build excitement around the project and raise awareness of all the individuals involved.

This event series is designed for creators, industry, music fans and general public to gather in an informal club setting to enjoy a curated playlist of both established and emerging producer talent from diverse communities.

Selected producers are in attendance to experience the rare thrill of a live audience responding to their creations: sometimes it's rapt attention, sometimes it's hip shaking, but it's always a welcoming atmosphere. 

A producer's craft takes place behind the scenes, often as a sequestered effort, so the surge of realtime collective appreciation received is a moving, confidence building, career impacting experience. Producers are offered opportunity to share an anecdote about their work if the wish or answer questions from audience.

Our focus is on featuring under-represented women+ IBPOC producers however as a truly inclusive initiative all are welcome to attend and enjoy! We especially encourage our men allies to join us.

We feature all genres and mastered releases or demos. Submission evaluations are overseen by a selection committee of sound professionals. The series also raises the profile of all the talent involved in making a great record: engineers, musicians, singers, lyricists, rappers, studios.

Awareness is the first step to increasing the professional work opportunities and collaborations that boost careers.

You can't hire a producer you don't know exists.

Numbers Don't Lie.
