On Friday October 20, aspirant producers get a chance to meet a number of dance music labels during a demo drop session. They can showcase their demos, get feedback from the label’s representatives and connect for potential, future collaborations. "During Soave’s demo drop event, I'm expecting to see a lot of familiar faces, meet like minded people, share experiences and scout new talent for Sekora. There can never be enough events to socialise during this time of year, and I'm always having a blast with the Soave team. So, this one is a must-go for me." says Wesley Verhey (UOAK), Sekora’s founder and managing director. Whether you produce chill house music fit for a cocktail bar, tech house bangers for nightclub dance floors or underground hard dance music. The Demo Drop connects you with the right representatives that could help move your career forward. Labels that will be present are Soave Records and its sub-labels Sandcastle and Dusk, Sekora, Fair Music, Relevel, Up All Night, Chill Out Tales, Chapter EIGHT, Den Haku Records and Dancing Dead Records.
It will be a busy couple of days for the Soave team. Besides Soave Academy and the demo drop, there will be multiple DJ performances in the hotel’s lobby throughout the day, Soave’s network will gather for an industry mixer and a lot of content creation will be happening such as the recording of DJ sets in the hotel’s club Oosterbar and photo shoots. On Thursday evening, the label will even host their very first nightclub event in the former theatre Desmet Studio’s, close to the Generator hostel. For Desmet Studio’s, it is one of the first year’s where they’re hosting parties every day during the Amsterdam Dance Event. Spokeswomen Fleur says they “look forward to facilitating these events including The Soave Party” in their iconic venue.
Why did this partnership start off in the first place, you may ask? Elizabeth Dijkhuizen, marketing manager of Soave Records explains: “First of all, Generator Amsterdam is a trendy, laid-back and lifely hostel which fits the Soave-vibe. One of the reasons our whole team is staying here as well during the event. Generator wants to tap into the dance music scene more so they can be an official Amsterdam Dance Event ’hub’ in the future. For us as Soave Records, it is important to actually connect with our artists and followers. We have a big online reach, but no live events to meet the ‘Soave squad’ personally. I am very happy we could merge both of our goals and create this cool collaborative event!”
