anti social producers club
Anti Social Camp came into existence through extraordinary circumstances. As music producers trying to survive the pandemic in 2020, we found comfort in catching up with our peers in New York. We decided then to create a collective called Anti Social Producers Club. Zooming with a handful of friends turned into hundreds of music producers with billions of streams and dozens of Grammys. It was the first collective of its kind, uniting New Yorkers across neighborhoods and musical styles, and it quickly impressed itself onto the larger recording industry.
year one: remote
Anti Social Producers Club united much of the NYC music scene, so it became clear that a songwriting camp could be a natural next step. Still in the pandemic, we began in June 2021 with mostly remote sessions and programming to an ecstatic response. This small taste of success gave us a clue at what we could build when the world opened up.
year two: welcome to new york
Expanding Anti Social Camp was an opportunity to rethink the concept of a songwriting camp, which is often considered an exclusive affair only for major label artists in castles across Europe. We decided that Anti Social Camp would be a front-facing festival with 100+ recording sessions in 6 days along with a packed calendar of concerts, gatherings and panels. It’s the SXSW for songwriting, inviting hundreds of creators to venues and studios across New York City in a global event that’s completely free for creators.
arrival + london expansion
Now that Anti Social Camp NYC has become a global destination, the festival has expanded to London for Anti Social UK presented by Tileyard. The future belongs to songwriters.
