077 - Robbie Murch from the Identification of Music Group

This week on the BOOST Podcast, it's a Brighton Music Conference special which happens this week 1st & 2nd October.   This year BMC is a Virtual Conference due to the restrictions on numbers of people that can be together for COVID-19 safety.   Due to the current financial state of the electronic music industry and the ever-changing government guidelines the Brighton Music Conference team have taken the decision to give free access to the full virtual conference so that everyone in the industry can benefit from its content during these difficult and hard times.  In partnership with Beatport, the free virtual pass will give full access to the panel discussions, Q&As, workshops, tutorials and dj sets as well as exclusive footage. It will be streamed live and on-demand featuring: AFEM, AudioLock, Ben Stirling, BIMM, Carl Cox, Danny Howard, Darius Syrossian, DJ Mag, DJ Rap, DJ Paulette, East End Dubs, Fatboy Slim, Graeme Park, Hannah Wants, Harriet Jaxxon, Josh Butler, Krafty Kuts, Nicole Mouldaber, NTIA, Sister Bliss (Faithless), Rich Nxt, Stanton Warriors, SUAT, Ultra Music plus many more The Identification of Music Group are a community made up of over 100,000 music fans. We began from the need to identify tracks from our favourite DJs.  They also host talks on topics relevant to electronic music culture and run their own artist development scheme, called ‘B Side’.  Robbie Murch is a Director at the group.  He was also supposed to have a panel at BMC 2020, but due to the change in restrictions, this now isn't possible.  I've kept this chat in because we spoke about Community, social media and there is loads of great content for you.
