28 leading A&R professionals confirmed for A&R Sessions at Brighton Music Conference

30 April 2025 - Press release

The award-winning Brighton Music Conference (BMC), the UK’s leading electronic music and networking event, is excited to welcome 28 leading A&R professionals in the electronic music scene to the ‘A&R Sessions’ at BMC25.

Taking place from 21st to 23rd May 2025 at some of Brighton’s best loved seafront venues, BMC will once again bring together Industry-leading professionals and present a packed programme of insightful talks, workshops and networking events.

A&R is an important part of electronic dance music. So many tracks are produced and released every week that there has to be some sort of filtering process.  Somebody needs to look for the new talent, nurture it, mentor budding up and coming artists, give feedback on tunes and help a new young producer with their productions.

The ‘A&R Sessions’ at BMC25 is where artists can bring their demos and have some of the most discerning ears in the industry listen to them. Headed up by prolific DJ and music producer Steve Mac, a wide variety of labels covering different genres has been lined up to give more opportunities for immediate feedback on productions and one-to-one meetings with leading A&Rs in the electronic music industry. 

Confirmed labels and A&R profesisonals Include; Armada, Axtone, Beatport, Critical, Data Transmission, Defected,  Eve Records, Fabric Records, Freakin 909, Helix Records, Inflyte, Krafted, Label Radar, LNADJ Records, Maraki, Mesh, Mixmasters, Perfecto, Prime Direct Distribution, R&S Records, Rinse FM, Shogun Audio, Sleazy Deep, Toolroom Records, Trusted Rhythm Records, We Are The Brave and Wh0 Plays.

“We love supporting the next generation of talent and helping them on their career journey.” says BMC founder Billy Mauseth. “We have an amazing line up of experts that will be on hand to give quality feedback on artists productions and they might even get signed.’

The ‘A&R Sessions’ will take place at The Tempest on Brighton’s beachfront, just a short walk from the main BMC Hub at Players. Last year was a sell-out success, with a high quality of music being submitted and several signings during the event. The sessions will be booked on a first come first served basis.
