Heading down to this, these sessions are always worth a look. There's usually a week or so of them on in the week leading up to the Evo festival, was there a reason why there wasnt this year? Just generally wondering
Went to a couple of these last year and was very impressed. Can thoroughly recommend to anyone who has an interest in Production or in marketing their own (and possibly other people's) music
