Here, find Bamz (Nadia Rose’s producer and DJ) on workshop duties, plusFlowdan and Sir Spyro, both figureheads of the grime game since day one. A producer who has worked with Giggs, JME, Kano and Wiley, Swifta Beater, also steps up for a session. Finally, East London rap producer and aficionado Steel Banglez will close the workshop sessions. This’ll be a rare chance to learn tips and tricks from producers at the top of their field – do not miss this.

Native Instrument’s ‘Native Session’s are a chance for electronic creators and fans to meet up, explore and learn in a relaxed environment, also hearing from revered artists about their experiences. It’s an accessible, down-to-earth way to get to know new Native Instruments products, too, testing out the latest models and seeing what suits each style. London’s ‘BARS’ focussed event will show how NI product can be used in the production of ‘urban’ styles of music coming from the city; rap, grime, beats and everything in between.
