Presented by EMC and Mixmag Asia, The Gathering is a pop-up cultural exchange that is focused on bridging electronic music culture across APAC. The Gathering brings together artists, creatives and industry professionals within the electronic music space from across this exciting region. 

This is an invite only, free event and will include afternoon food and refreshments. EMC and Mixmag Asia will facilitate an exchange with attendees and key artists from the EMC x Mixmag Asia APAC Artist Retreat which has 12 artists coming together from across APAC for 3 days of relationship building and music collaboration at Karma Studios.

During the facilitated exchange your participation is encouraged. We will touch on a range of topics including  infrastructure and support systems for APAC artists,  how collaboration can evolve into career-supporting movements, innovation, sustainability, wellbeing, and more. The aim is to share each other’s work, aspirations and thoughts to identify to foster lasting connections, future collaborations and partnerships.
