We explore the thoughts of artists and music sharing. In today's digital age, discovering new music has become more accessible than ever due to online platforms like Spotify, SoundCloud, and download services such as Beatport. While traditional methods of exploring music, such as visiting record shops, have diminished in popularity, the process of musical exploration remains significant and enriching, especially when one encounters a standout track. For performing artists, the quest for fresh music is a continuous endeavor, often regarded as equally important as the performance itself. This raises an interesting question: is it appropriate for artists to keep the details of their music sources confidential? This topic invites further discussion from some of the South West DJs and producers on the nature of music discovery in the modern landscape.

What the organisers say

Join us on Saturday, 14th September, as we conclude our spectacular 2024 season at The Treasury with an unforgettable night featuring house music legends, Brandon Block & Alex P.

With over 30 years of experience in dominating the house scene from Ibiza to the UK, Brandon and Alex are true pioneers of the genre. During the 90s, Alex was a staple at iconic Ibiza venues, holding down nights at Ku with Manumission and residencies at Amnesia, while both he and Brandon made history by running the legendary Space Terrace. Their influence set Ibiza alight, transforming the Space Terrace into the dance capital of Europe and one of the most talked-about party destinations worldwide.

Brandon Block also left his mark across the UK, with residencies at Up Yer Ronson in Leeds, FUBAR at the Milk Bar, and the legendary Scream at The Warehouse in Plymouth.
