Where Sound Meets The Surf

Get Ready To Dive In:

Music is one of the most essential foundations of our shared human experience. It lifts us up, connects us, brings celebration to ordinary moments and becomes the ultimate soundtrack to our life. 

We are so thrilled to bring this week long Ableton Production and DJing immersive retreat to ViYarte with our headlining teachers and DJs : RUMPUS (@itsrumpus) and Joanna Magik (@joannamagik).

Why?

We love electronic music and value the importance of it as an art form and genre of music.

Production can sometimes be isolating, so this event is for you to come together, meet artistic peers, spend time on your own tracks, and collectively produce an original song with the crew.

Annnd we get to do it all in a tropical paradise, a 5 min walk from the beach 🙂

We designed this program with the questions – “If I were to launch my DJ career how could I get the technical tips and software experience, the most in depth and accessible information, and learn in real time from industry professionals?” at the forefront.
