Create Define Release (CDR) (TDN 2024)
CDR is black-led music and talent development organisation with a deep heritage in the UK’s grassroots electronic music scene. We are a community made up of generations of music producers, practitioners and fans. Our purpose is to nurture independent music makers and progress black electronic music across many genres. We work with children and young people in schools and youth centres, as well as the older heads in clubs and venues. London based with an increasing national & international footprint, we’re operating in towns and cities around the country and the world, from Derby to Nairobi.
‘CDR Pathways’ is a targeted programme to identify, nurture and promote a new wave of outstanding electronic music artists. Emerging producers and artists will be supported to develop and release innovative new music via CDR, while gaining significant career skills through bespoke mentorship from a wide-range of industry leaders in our community.
