We join forces with the industry heavyweights after a series of road-blocked monthlies For the last 6 months we’ve taken over Red Bull Studios with speakers from Google, Vice, Method Records and Universal. The All Dayer will see us bring this magic to present a ‘Beginners Guide To The Music Industry’ – all the basics, how to monetise music, the team you’ll need and more.

Nang presents – curated by Ralph Hardy
The Radar Radio DJ, That’s Nang founder and RWD scribe is on everybody’s hot-list and he’s creating an exclusive All Dayer segment especially for us.  Labels are long, but they can work. Skepta and Stormzy have done wonders being independent, yet WSTRN may not be where they are today without the clout of a traditional label. We look into the pros and cons of both, and wrestle with the ways they can work.
