The good people at iStandard came together to bring A3C attendees a dope networking event with some of the hottest producers in the industry. Hosted by J Hatch of iStandard and DJ Teknology supplying the early mixes, we were able to conglomerate and enjoy the creative atmosphere. Big names such as Izze the Producer, Focus, Issac Hayes III, Sikwitit, Black Metaphor, Smitti Boi, and Major Seven were all in attendance supplying dope music and networking with the people on Delightful Eatz rooftop.
The event consisted of several top tier producers showcasing their hottest songs with major artists as well as exclusive heat in a six-minute session. A wide array of sounds from hip-hop, edm, trap, and r&b were presented. This was a producer’s paradise for any upcoming musician to network and get insight from some of the major players.The rooftop vibes were very tranquil and relaxing with a great bar selection and soothing incenses to provide a warm welcoming aesthetic. Just by hearing the different conversations you were able to get a glimpse of how supporting producers are of each other’s work and how being humble is the definition of true character.
For me, it was very inspiring to mix and mingle with some of the Og’s in the game like Focus as well as new producer’s making major moves like Sikwitit. Everyone in the room was on a different level in the industry but accolades and past achievements didn’t stop them from sharing everyday conversations.
With this many dope producers showcasing their work it only makes you want to go harder and achieve what you believe in. Be sure to catch up with these industry chart toppers by visiting the Pro Audio sessions at SAE Institute throughout the festival.
