01 / About KEMS

Learn the craft and the business behind electronic music

KEMS is a day in Kristiansand where DJs, producers, labels and management explain how they work. You hear how a track comes together, what a label looks for in a demo, how festival booking actually happens and what it takes to move forward.

It does not matter whether you are professional, an amateur or simply curious. You choose which artists you want to hear and what you want to learn more about, and we build the day around that.
