In Conversation With SIM
Join us for an in depth conversation with SIM, exploring his creative process and learning more about his Slow Tech and Dancehall influences.
SIM pushes the boundaries in Sound System Music - taking up the Dub and Dancehall sound theories of Lee 'Scratch' Perry, King Tubby and Dave Kelly or Techno pioneers such as Plastikman or Jeff Mills, SIM explores the relationship between space, body and sound.
In 2018, with the release of 'Pu$$ycat' featuring the Catalan duo Crimen Pasional, SIM made himself heard on a global scale. Since then, the Montreal-based producer has collaborated with the likes of Brodinski, Sinjin Hawke, Madam X, Doctor Jeep, DJ Plead, Toumba, and Poirier, amongst others. His recent releases include the 'Sumergir' EP with Sueuga on Sacrilejio Records, 'Sulum EP' on the Berlin-based label SPE:C, 'SINNAZ EP' with NAP on ISLA Records, and 'Terminate EP' on the iconic London label Nervous Horizon.
As ever, you can submit your WIPs and tunes – at any stage – for the opportunity to hear your music on SOUP's sound system.
For those new to CDR Sessions - they feature an in-depth, production focused interview with a guest artist, exploring their career and creative process. The talk is flanked with ‘openCDR’, a DJ set of audience music submissions where producers and artists of all levels and abilities have the opportunity to play their own music on some of the best club soundsystems across the UK. All genres and styles welcomed!

Since we started back in 2001, CDR has been all about community, creating spaces for people to connect and develop through music.
Back in the Plastic People days, you could fit all of us in one small room around one soundsystem. Today, our projects and programmes extend from the dancefloor to schools, youth centres, as well as grassroots clubs and venues across the country and further afield. But in challenging times, with grassroots organisations like ours closing all around us, every bit of support counts.
Your help will enable us to continue delivering music programmes and events in the UK to the people who need it most. Our mission is simple: to build an equitable music ecosystem for producers and artists.
