Imagine a songwriters’ circle, but for music producers, online.
The vibe
The Producers' Circle is not about expertise, but about community. Each session, participants share various pieces that they have worked on, explore how they made it and receive a wide range of feedback from peers. Its all love.
Sometimes the hardest part is sharing something that isn't 'finished'. The more opportunities we have to develop that muscle, the easier it becomes.
You don't have to be a producer to hang out. Listeners are more than welcome, too. No pressure 😊. The Producer's Circle will continue in the Fall. Stay tuned for dates and details coming soon.
Overview
This drop-in, co-curricular initiative seeks to support Hart House’s Hip Hop Education program by bringing together beatmakers, producers, and music creators primarily from the U of T community in an informal and open space to share beats, tracks, techniques, questions and ideas.
The aim of these sessions is to create a supportive music production community of practice, dedicated to creative expression and artistic development. Whether you're just getting started or have been a producer for many years, It is meant to be an inclusive environment for music producers of all levels or anyone interested in music production.
All genres of music are welcome!

Event formats:
Sample Challenge: We provide a track and you chop it, sample it, flip it and create something new. We all share in a non-judgmental space. Participants select the tracks we use.
Drop-in beat / track share: Bring any music you’re working on, or something you made ages ago! The point is to share music, learn from each other, and maybe get a few collaborations off the ground. All genres are welcome!
This event is strictly for educational and community-building purposes. No copies of the sampled track will be created for the explicit purpose of distribution or monetization.
