SONIC SESSIONS - June 2025

It’s that time! Here's your next chance to have Black Techno Matters hear your music and give feedback. Join BTM and host, MerlinBerlin, on Wednesday, June 18 from 7-9:30 pm for a special LIBER8 edition of our listening and feedback gathering, Sonic Sessions.

With Sonic Sessions, we invite artists from the DC area and beyond to submit an electronic genre track that will be heard in an intimate setting by other artists and the Black Techno Matters label team themselves. Sessions are small—we select only a few tracks for thoughtful discussions on each submission. Of course, we monitor all feedback to keep things respectful and constructive. Whether this is your first time producing, an expert sharing what’s been in the vault, or curious about improving your sound and creativity as an artist, we’re excited to hear from you!

TO SUBMIT:

  • Complete the Track Submission for BTM Sonic Sessions form (link in bio) by Wednesday, June 4.

  • Make sure your track is exported as a 24-bit, 44.1-kHz stereo WAV file.

  • Send your track in a Dropbox or Google Drive link. Please make sure permissions have been granted before submitting.

  • We prefer tracks in the Techno/House genres (or adjacent), but other genres and subgenres can be explored as well (industrial, electro, UKG, etc.)

  • We will email artists who have been selected by Friday, June 13.

Can’t be in DC? We have limited slots for artists to join virtually. To learn more, head over to blacktechnomatters.org/SonicSessions or the link in our bios
