Mid-January · Berlin

One evening. Drinks on us.

At the start of every year we bring together artists, labels, agents, bookers, journalists and friends for a quiet evening in Berlin. A first round on the house. Good music, good conversations, nothing to sell. It's our favourite night of the year.

What it is

A room, not a conference.

Short enough to leave with momentum. Warm enough to come alone. Quiet enough to actually talk.

01

An early-January reception

Not a conference or a party. One evening, in Berlin, at a selected venue.

02

The right people

Artists, labels, agents, journalists, writers, industry friends — and anyone building something real in music.

03

First round on us

Drinks are on the house. You only need to bring yourself.

04

No pitches. No panels. No name tags.

Just people. That's the whole format.

Why we do it

Trust is easier over a drink.

The music industry runs on trust, and trust is easier to build over a drink than on a panel stage.

The Open House is the room we wish existed when we started — quiet enough to actually talk, warm enough to come alone, short enough to leave with momentum.

How to come

The guest list is built by hand.

If you'd like to come, just tell us a bit about yourself and what you're working on — we'd love to meet you. Invites go out in December.
