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!

Join our supportive community of producers, artists and music enthusiasts, and learn some transformative techniques along the way. 

Lastly, we are a small, grassroots organisation and we are able to carry out our work through the generosity of our funders and community. There is a free signup option to ensure our events are as accessible as possible, particularly for those who are on a low income or not in work. If you can afford to donate, please consider purchasing a donation ticket at the recommended suggestion of £5, your support is vital to our growth. Here’s to an equitable future!
