EVENT OVERVIEW
We're lovers in need of love today!
This December, we're doing something a little different with a special edition of Beat Freaq dedicated to love and everything that comes with it.
We're trading the hard-hitting beat slappers and boom bap bangers for soulful grooves, slow jams, R&B classics, and music that makes you feel something.
We're bringing together some of our leading Beat Freaq producers to share their favorite R&B and soul selections, with performances from Blacksmith Sundays, E-Spect, Stephen Life, Onedrlab, and Yamin Semali. There may even be a few special guests stopping through.
And ladies, we especially want to see you there. We may have something special planned just for you.
THE R&B SINGER SESSION... OPEN AUX
We're also hosting a special edition of our Open AUX, dedicated exclusively to singers!
Whether you're an established vocalist, an emerging artist, or someone looking to connect with producers and explore new creative opportunities, this is your chance to step up to the mic and showcase what you do.
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
• Singers only. This session is exclusively for vocalists.
• Each singer gets up to FIVE MINUTES to perform.
• Bring your backing tracks or instrumentals on a flash drive. MP3 or WAV files are preferred.
• Instrumentals should preferably be without lead vocals. We want to hear YOU, not have you singing over an already released song.
• Original music is strongly encouraged, especially for artists interested in being considered for our upcoming collaborative album.
• This is NOT a competition. Come ready to share your talent, connect with producers, and have a good time.
THE ALBUM PROJECT... YOUR NEXT OPPORTUNITY
We're putting together a special collaborative R&B and soul-inspired album featuring singers and producers from the Beat Freaq community, with a targeted release in February 2027.
Our producers will be listening throughout the singer session and selecting vocalists they feel would be a great fit for the project.
Selected singers will have the opportunity to:
• Collaborate with Beat Freaq producers on original music for the album.
• Be featured on the February 2027 release.
• Receive a dedicated feature performance slot at our February Beat Freaq event, where selected artists can perform a set of their own original music.
This is an opportunity to connect, create, and build something together.
So bring your voice, bring your music, and come ready to rock!
