The post MAMA Workshop: Hands-on DJing & Music Production appeared first on Athens Music Week.

Έλληνες producers ανεβαίνουν στη σκηνή και ανοίγουν τα sessions τους, παρουσιάζοντας βήμα-βήμα πώς χτίστηκε ένα κομμάτι: από την αρχική ιδέα και τη δομή, μέχρι την παραγωγή, τον ήχο και τις τελικές επιλογές.

Μέσα από πρακτικά παραδείγματα, το session εστιάζει σε τεχνικές παραγωγής, workflow και δημιουργικές αποφάσεις, δίνοντας μια σπάνια ματιά στο πώς μετατρέπεται μια ιδέα σε επιτυχημένο track.

Ένα δυναμικό και hands-on format, ιδιαίτερα χρήσιμο για νέους δημιουργούς και όσους θέλουν να κατανοήσουν καλύτερα τη σύγχρονη μουσική παραγωγή στην πράξη.

Moderated by Gamecue.

In this hands-on session, Kathrin Brunner (mYndstorm Productions) introduces Out of the Box – Turning Crisis Into Opportunity, a new programme launching this summer. Drawing on work across media, innovation and emerging tech, the session looks at what happens when structures begin to crack, why that opens up new possibilities, and how to position yourself within them.

The workshop focuses on how the media and music industries are changing under pressure from AI, consolidation and uncertainty. It considers how the nature of work is shifting, and how existing skills can be adapted and applied in new contexts to build resilience and move into emerging spaces between traditional markets.

The session also opens the door to the wider ecosystem behind the program, including Future Skills / Start into Media (Medien.Bayern) and XR HUB Bavaria, supported by the Bavarian Ministry of Digital Affairs—and sets the ground for what this could become next.

60-minute interactive session: introduction and overview, shared future mapping, discussion and Q&A.

For artists, media makers, technologists and founders, and anyone eager to discuss disruption as raw material.

Participants will gain a practical understanding of key Spotify for Artists tools – such as Countdown Pages, Canvas, and Artist Pick – as well as access to rich analytics that enable informed, data-driven decision-making.

Building an audience today often means relying on platforms you do not control. This workshop focuses on how to take control of your online presence and build direct connections that convert, from turning streams and views into sign-ups, sales and repeat engagement, to understanding what a direct relationship with your audience looks like in practice and how fan data can inform what comes next. It brings together ticketing, e-commerce, fan capture and retention into a clear, practical approach to what to offer, how to structure it, and how to build something that holds value over time.
