Simply put, The Exchange x AVA is a music conference by day and a gig-you-absolutely-shouldn’t-miss by night.
Electronic artists and producers wouldn’t want to miss the opening address by Mark Lawrence, CEO of Association of Electronic Music. (In case you missed the memo, said association also features heavyweights such as Avicii’s manager Ash Pournouri, Ultra Records’ Patrick Moxey, and Nile Rodgers.) Plus, catch Lawrence in conversation with Nikhil Chinapa later in the day. Also earmark ‘Sync Or Swim’ a session that should leave you with a better understanding of music placement in film, television, advertising and gaming. Belfast based producer Phil Kieran will be joined by artists Sanaya Ardeshir (aka Sandunes) and Rohan Hastak (Big City Harmonics) in a session on producing and remixing.
Plus, you get to step inside antiSocial for the very first time – the new space carved within the basement of Khar Social – and catch some of the coolest acts. (PS: You don’t have to be a musician, or an aspiring one even, to enjoy this bit.)
