On February 27, we’re kicking off a new season the right way bringing together Charlotte’s producers, artists, and music lovers for a night rooted in sound, creativity, and real community. This is where raw ideas turn into real moments and the city’s energy shows up loud.

This isn’t just a meetup it’s a vibe. A space where people link, beats knock, ideas collide, and the next wave of Charlotte’s music starts moving in real time. Pull up, tap in, and be part of what’s next.

Producer Performances (5–6 Producers • 10–15 Min Sets)
Producers set the tone with high-energy, intentional sets featuring live beat making, unreleased joints, flips, remixes, and raw sonic experiments. These Dupp & Swat editions are designed to feel intimate yet lively, creating a free-flowing atmosphere where the producers, the music, and the energy in the room are always the focal point. This is where sound is felt, not just heard. Tap in and catch what’s next.

🎧 Pass The Aux (FIRST SEGMENT • Limited Slots • Sign-Up On-Site)
Pass The Aux kicks off every Sound Makers Social and sets the energy for the night. Producers and artists get 2 minutes to play one track or mix—new beat, unreleased record, or a rough idea you’re building.

🎤 Emcee Cyphers (Open Mic Energy)
Once the room is warmed up, the mic opens. Rappers, singers, poets, and vocalists are invited to step up and let their voice live in the space. No pressure, just presence, energy, and real expression. If you’ve been waiting for a moment to be heard, this is it.
