The 2nd Birthday Listening Sessions Special on Live Arts Radio 107.5FM

https://soundcloud.com/yilanmusic - "I recorded this mix to get warmed up for 'Listening Sessions and Circular Jaw present Blackdown and Parris’ night on Saturday 16th April 2016 here in Birmingham. I’m going back to back with Wooda, so you can expect a 100% originals set from us, with plenty of unheard and unreleased material.

Blackdown has supported one of my tunes by playing it on his Keysound Rinse FM show, plus I’ve got releases coming out with both Listening Sessions and Circular Jaw this year, so I’m really looking forward to seeing us all come together at Club PST."

Showcasing, cultivating and supporting the best of underground electronic music in Birmingham, UK. 

Since starting in 2013, Listening Sessions has hosted monthly producer open-showcase events where local producers meet up to test their latest creations on nightclub sound systems. This is the melting pot for electronic music producers in the city and the place to hear exclusive music getting its first play out in the open! 

Spanning the full spectrum of electronic music, Listening Sessions also run traditional live music events at venues across the city and have invited some of the most pioneering DJs and producers and labels from around the UK to join the diverse roster of artists within the local community to create some of the most forward-thinking lineups that flow through genres to build and expand as the night develops. At times you can hear Reggae/Dub, Hip-hop,
2-step, Techno, Dubstep, Drum & Bass, Jungle and more on just a single night. 

Listening Sessions' mission is to encourage collaboration, development and diversity within the electronic music scene in Birmingham. The grassroots community spirit nurtured by the brand has resulted in a number of signings to both local, national and international record labels. In September Listening Sessions started their own music label to share the wealth of talent from within the community with the rest of the world! The inaugural release, “Contortion/Exoskeleton + Remixes” by Listening Sessions regular Yilan received support on leading UK radio stations such as Rinse.fm, Radar Radio and NTS while also getting plays at Festivals like Outlook in Croatia and number of UK festivals including Boomtown, Glastonbury and Shambala.
