Focusrite/Novation Seminar/BMC Dmonstration Igloo

 

Day 1: 

 

Seminar 1: 

 

Hitting the Stage – performing your studio-based productions on the live stage

Recent times have seen a shift from completely computer based “in-the-box” live shows to performers making use of the huge amount of powerful hardware gear currently available. Novation’s product specialist Chris “-CALC-“ Calcutt explores the different ways available to create the perfect hardware live set-up and how to realise your studio tracks in the live environment.

Using a range of different equipment from both Novation and some other interesting devices, -CALC– will give a full run through of how to take your tracks to the stage, choosing the right gear and sharing tips and techniques that will let you shine out from the crowd.

 

Seminar 2:

 

Composition and processing technique with James Dymond

James Dymond has built a career over recent years as one of the UK’s brightest Trance artists. He has productions on labels such as Armin Van Buren’s Armada and is resident on Aly & Fila’s Future Sound of Egypt. James’ production is focused on working within the box yet manages to achieve huge sounding mixes despite not using hardware. He will share his composition and processing techniques within this track build session (Part 1 of 2 sessions today). Expect to learn about his Analog modelling FX chains with plug-in and how he creates dance floor damage with his production skill.

 

Seminar 3:

 

TBC

 

Seminar 4: 

 

State of the Art Synthesis with East End Dubs

With so many choices when choosing your studio setup, it is important to get the most out of the gear you choose. Certain instruments offer different workflows as well as sound. Even modest systems can have a wealth of connectivity for artists to utilise, and of course can yield interesting results with modular, drum machines and sequencers.  Eastenderz label boss – Eastend Dubs takes us through his synth choices that he uses in the studio when writing and creating his signature sound. He will be showing users how Novation & Focusrite products feature in his setup alongside many other brands, and how great results happen when creative connectivity comes into play.

 

Seminar 5: 

 

Mix & Arrangement Exploration with James Dymond

James Dymond finishes the day with his final track build workshop. The morning session focused on composition and processing, this session addresses mix and arrangement duties. It can sometimes be daunting to turn your vision of a track to a finished masterpiece. James Dymond takes the guesswork out of the process and shares vital tips for creating modern, cohesive mixes with emotion. From idea – to dance floor, expect to learn how to get the most out of a simple setup all focused around his Focusrite Clarett USB interface.

 

Seminar 6:

 

Standing out from the crowd – Mashup technique with South of the Stars

Existing as a DJ in the modern circuit can be challenging, in this world the mashup has now become king! Novation’s very own Mark Lowes has hit a recent vein of success as part of new UK trance duo South Of The Stars. With support throughout their career from heavyweights such as Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk & Armin Van Buuren. In this session Mark shares the creative concept of starting and finishing mashups. Mark will focus on Exploring track selection, warping techniques, hot cues and detailed automation to final export with Novation Launchpad and Focusrite Clarett.

 

Day 2: 

 

Seminar 1: 

 

Live by design with Alex Jann.

There are many factors to consider when deciding on what kit makes the cut for a live rig, whether it comes down to size vs functionality, or refining what can be done by simply knowing what certain equipment can achieve. Alex Jann is no stranger to this subject as has been making music solely on hardware for nearly 2 decades and has played live acts in all matter of settings across Europe under his own name with travel friendly systems. He has played using a plethora of kit such as Eurorack, grooveboxes and drum machines from release launch events for labels such as Rhythm Cult, to venues like the Get Physical Vs Flying Circus Off event in Barcelona.  Alex will show the benefits of using hardware that does more than one job in his rig, showing travelling artists you do not need to take the whole system! His performance-based seminar will be focused around the Novation Circuit Mono Station, Peak and a live Eurorack system, and of course alongside some all-time classic gear.

 

Seminar 2: 

 

TBC

 

Seminar 3: 

 

Create, Capture and Arrange with Alex Arnout

Alex Arnout has been one of the most significant London-based house artists in recent years. His style encompasses many different sounds, taking inspiration from his extensive record collection and the countless dance floors he has filled for many years. He runs some of the most prolific labels in the UK – Dogmatik Records & DMK Records – who has seen releases from artists such as Peace Division, Jovonn, Maya Jane Coles and Burnski amongst many others. His hardware-based studio is focused around live capture and makes sure that his music creation process is completely free, and at one with the machines he works with, a blurred line between him and the circuits. Alex will take attendees though how he starts from scratch on each track captures the live session and then arranges something ready for the floor.

 

Seminar 4: 

 

Standing out from the crowd – Mashup technique with South of the Stars

 Existing as a DJ in the modern circuit can be challenging, in this world the mashup has now become king! Novation’s very own Mark Lowes has hit a recent vein of success as part of new UK trance duo South Of The Stars. With support throughout their career from heavyweights such as Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk & Armin Van Buuren. In this session Mark shares the creative concept of starting and finishing mash-ups.

The cost of attending a UK university as an undergraduate in 2018 could cost up to £9000 a year, which equates to almost £30k over a 3-year university tenure. Imagine what that investment could yield for during the same period of time, if chosen instead to use it to build a studio, set-up an event or launch a record label. Or would you lack the necessary skills and acumen required to achieve any of the aforementioned, without having cut your teeth on a university degree first?

 

We’ve curated a diverse panel of industry professionals & entrepreneurs to discuss just that. Our panelists will be guiding us through their respective journeys in education, before             debating if these had any impact on their current position in the music industry, and concluding whether going to university is really worth the time, cost and effort. The aim of the panel is to give the audience an insight on how to reach their career aims as well as practical tips for future entrepreneurs and industry professionals.

 

13:15 – 14:05 Producer Q&A, Moderator – Katia Isakoff – Women Produce Music, London Elektricity, Illyus & Barrientos, Luke Solomon, Rachel K Collier.

The discussion will then take a deeper look into the use of electronic music in recent projects from both a music supervisor and composers’ perspective and will take a look what challenges lie ahead for songwriters today.

 

14:55: Multi-tasking in the music business with D&B legend Friction!

Speakers – Tom Dunn: (AEI Special Projects Manager), Kate Osler (AEI Festival Director / Weird Science), Nick Sadler (Manager), Lewis Sinclair (CEO Cygnus Music). What good is a Facebook event page if no one actually sees it? As the internet echo chamber gets louder and algorithms make it harder to reach fans online, it’s more important than ever to understand exactly how to use digital platforms properly to promote your event. This panel, hosted by AEI Group, will break down all aspects and means of digital promotion and analyse exactly how to get the right message across, in the right way, to the right people at the right time. From fine-tuning your tone of voice to fit your audience to understanding when to push for those final ticket sales, this panel will cover it all.

 

BMC Professional Programme 2018

 

Thursday 26^th April 2018 – Professional Theatre:

11.00 – 11:50 DJ Mag – Times up for sexual harassment. Following the Harvey Weinstein revelations and the #MeToo campaign, stories have begun to emerge from the electronic music industry about sexual harassment and misconduct. This panel will examine the issues involved, and look at ways to stop abuse like this happening in the future.

 

11:55 – 12:45 SoundCloud Presents – (content TBC)

 

12:50 – 13:40 Diversity Is A Reality, Inclusivity Is The Goal (in association with “PRS for Music”)  – Moderator: Fiona McGugan (Music Managers Forum). Speakers: Amanda Maxwell (SheSaid.So/ Boiler Room), Steven Braines (The Weird & The Wonderful), Natalie Wade (Small Green Shoots), and Claire Rose (“PRS for Music”). From the Wireless festival line up to the Grammy nominations, the rate of change in respect of diversity is off pace, not just within dance music but also across the industry. This panel asks what it means to be a diverse business in 2018, discussing practical inclusion strategies and looking at some of the initiatives that exist today.

 

13:45  – 14:35 is the underground underground anymore? Moderator: Sammy Verghese (The Arch, Brighton), Judy Griffith (Fabric), Firas Waez & Serge Santiago (Producers Waze & Odyssey), Jack Bridges (Beatport). Has the mainstream success of dance music artists resulted in dance music becoming a corporate product? Have artist’s demands, such as 5* hotels and limousine pick-ups made dance music resemble pop artists? Do ever inflated fee’s have a knock on effect for festival and club shows having to charge high ticket prices and therefore alienating access to music on financial grounds? What’s the future of the underground?

 

14:40 – 15:30 AFEM Presents – Mental Health & Music In The Mix moderated by Greg Marshall (Head of Membership, AFEM) Panelists include Help Musicians UK, Mike Hollingbury (Owner, Bozboz), Dan Tait (Pioneer DJ Sounds). More panelists TBC. As new studies shine fresh light on the prevalence of mental health issues in our industry, it’s clear that the need to care for yourself and those around you has never been so vital. AFEM brings together a range of professionals to hear their experiences, share advice and see how wellbeing and success can both be achieved in our 24/7 industry. With almost a third of UK electronic artists having been impacted by mental health issues, caring for yourself and those around you has never been so vital. AFEM teams up with a range of industry experts to explore how success and mental wellbeing in a 24/7 industry can both be achieved. More panelists to be announced soon.

 

15:35 – 16:25 A Journey in Sound – Tony and Ann Andrews from Funktion-One. An in-depth interview with a couple who have committed their lives to each other and to the pursuit of audio excellence, founding and growing loudspeaker manufacturer Funktion-One in the process. A unique opportunity to hear from the true pioneers of professional audio.

 

16:30 – 17:15 LNADJ Presents Social and Corporate responsibility in the dance music industry. Moderator: Ellie Talebian. Speakers: Eats Everything, Jim McNulty, Ann Andrews and Nico De Transilvania. The dance music industry has traditionally not been known for its focus on social responsibility yet through the example of a small number of trailblazers we are now seeing a positive change in attitude. Why is this happening now and what can be done to expand on their work?

 

17:20 – 18:00 AIF – How best to get your artist on the stage? Moderator: Jim Mawdsley (Generator). Speakers include Ami Lord – (General Manager & Laundry Meadows Stage Booker, Standon Calling) Emma Zillman (Programme Director, Fields Festival).

11.00: Brands in Music

Speakers TBC

 

11:45 – 12:25 Creative Law presents – ‘How not to get into hot water when re-making music.’ Moderator: Dean Marsh (MD – Creative Law & Business) Andrew Sharland (Leading Partner, Clintons), Peter Oxendale (Forensic Musicologist), Alison Hook (Head of Sampling & Copyright Infringement Sony/ATV Publishing), Jules O’Riordan AKA Judge Jules (Global DJ/Lawyer, Sheridans), Saranne Reid (General Manager, Crown Management/MD Sample Clearance Services). This year’s legal panel will be dissecting two topical subjects. (a) Re-records. Many producer/artists seem to be re-recording their old hits (sometimes in conjunction with a publisher), so they then can exploit themselves. How do you avoid breaching the terms of the original record contract? In which ways might a re-record infringe the copyright or performers’ rights in the original recording, particularly if it’s a near identical recreation? (b) Covers There’s  been a recent trend towards crossover success for dance producers covering or interpreting existing compositions. What legal right does an artist have to make and release a cover version?  What constitutes a “faithful” cover version and what doesn’t? What rights do publishers have to insist that a new composition is a cover when it’s not?

 

12:30 – 13:10 BPI Presents – Subject TBC.

 

13:15 – 14:05 Streaming – Best practices and how to make it work for you. The panel will explore the tools and best practices for some of the worlds leading streaming services.

14:10  – 14:50 DJ Mag – An interview with Irvine Welsh. The renowned Trainspotting author talks exclusively to DJ Mag editor Carl Loben about the thread of electronic music that runs through much of his work, and his new book Dead Men’s Trousers — featuring all the much-loved Trainspotting characters — in which Renton becomes a DJ manager.

 

14:55 – 15:45 Sharpstream Panel. Monetize your content in ways you haven’t heard of. Moderator: Dane Streeter (Managing Director – SharpStream). Speakers: Katie Sedler (Head of DAX Partnerships (This is Global) Nick Pitts (Commercial Director – Jazz FM), More TBC.

Audio content is exploding world wide on more platforms than ever before. How can audio content creators get the best return on their investment? This panel explores the options available to audio content creators, focusing on the approaches to implementing monetisation strategies for different audience scales in order to achieve the best results

 

15:50 – 16:30 Trial by social media: dealing with a PR disaster. Moderator: Lee Smith (Leak Delete), Anna Wall  (PR), George Hull (Bloc), Angie Towse (The Rest is Noise). Following a string of widely publicised controversies in dance music, we ask: are we right to call out offensive behaviour online? Who do social media scandals benefit? And how are careers controlled by social media audiences?

Packing one of the standout lineups of the summer, Hideout 2018 returns between June 25th – 29th with a fresh wave of names confirmed to head to the sun-soaked Zrce beach this summer.

Leading the third announcement is one of the most exciting DJs of the moment George FitzGerald. Championed by the likes of Zane Lowe and BBC 6 Music, George rose to prominence off the back of his party Man Make Music and won over dancefloors with tracks such as garage banger ‘Child’. Now set to release his hotly anticipated second album ‘All That Must Be’ in March, he is bound to tear Croatia up this summer.

Also joining the line up is B.Traits. One of the most popular DJs of recent times, the trusted selector also known as Brianna Price has become a recognised figure for big nights and big moments. Her work across Radio 1 has seen her become a true favourite, with her shows blending cutting-edge sounds and the latest underground heavyweights into sets that thousands want to play over and over. Bound to hit new heights under the Croatian sunshine, B.Traits is a guaranteed winner at Hideout 2018.

 

 

Revered for its sensational reputation for British hip-hop and grime, Hideout is delivering once again – with a huge wave of new additions confirming its place as one of the most exciting festivals of the summer. One of the most talked about names in rising UK rap, Abra Cadabra has blended genres and styles with ease, emerging onto the scene in 2016 with a string of huge releases. Already a MOBO award winner, expect his unpredictable set to be packed wall to wall come June.

 

The most recognisable DJ in British hip-hop, Charlie Sloth has become a true household name. Through his hugely popular Radio 1 show, he’s soundtracked and championed the very best in emerging UK music, and will bring his unmistakable energy to Croatia this summer.

 

Talking about the festival, Charlie Sloth says:

“Really excited to be playing Hideout for the first time ever. It’s an honour to play one of the biggest festivals in the world!! Can’t wait to SHUT IT DOWN!!!”

 

Presenter, producer, tastemaker, influencer and all-round champion of electronic music Danny Howard will kick start the party weekend off in exactly the right style. Known for his simple ethos of bringing high energy and high spirits into every single one of his sets, his Hideout appearance is guaranteed to be a feel-good occasion.

 

Spinning more electric dancefloor classics are Horse Meat Disco, the party-starters whose ‘queer nights for everyone’ have become the stuff of legends. Get ready to throw yourself into their unmistakable world when Hideout 2018 comes around. Also heading to Hideout 2018 is Paul Woolford, who’s stunning festival sets, whether as Special Request or Bobby Peru are always a spectacle to behold.

 

It’s been a big year for Barely Legal, who will continue her ascent through 2018 with a storming set on the Isle of Pag, bringing her genre-blending mix of grime, bass, jungle and hip hop to the beach. South London MC Ms Banks will also be holding court at Hideout this year, bringing her beats, bars and a no-nonsense approach to the future of rap with a show everyone will be talking about once the festival is over.

 

Barely Legal says:

“So happy to be back at Hideout, it’s a definite favourite. Such a sick line up and the location is perfect!”

 

From top to bottom, Hideout continues to deliver with the most exciting names in electronica. Whether it’s the jacking house of Doorly, the bass vibes of Bristol duo GotSome, Chicago house legend DJ Sneak, Kaluki’s key party-starter Pete Zorba, underground bassline and grime weaver Mr Virgo, lo-fi beat mover DJ Seinfeld, house innovator Jacky, rising favourite Notion or raw influencers Pirate Copy – Hideout is a selection of sounds and styles that at every turn are lighting a fire in the future of an entire genre. With the likes of Shapes, Eli Brown, Mason Collective and Cousn also confirmed today, Hideout lives in the here and now – as the definitive summer festival escape that’s rightfully earned its place as the epicentre of partying in 2018.

 

These new names join a phenomenal bill already confirmed for Hideout 2018, returning to Zrce Beach on the Isle Of Pag between June 25th-29th, full of figures and names that are leading the way with the most exciting sounds in modern music. From electronic trailblazers like MK, Andy C, Chase & Status (DJ), Jackmaster, Jamie Jones, Skream, Kerri Chandler, Eats Everything and Hannah Wants to Grime heavyweights like Bugzy Malone, AJ Tracey and Nadia Rose, to further thrilling figures like Jax Jones, Hunee, Artwork, Sonny Fodera, Mistajam, Peggy Gou, Heidi and many more – Hideout is unrivalled as the sun-kissed electronic experience of the year.
