Glasgow based electronic music label Soma Records will be holding their Soma Skool 2021 event virtually for the first time this month.
The annual education event has established itself as Scotland’s premier electronic music conference catering to anyone who is interested in a career in the industry.
After two years at SWG3, Soma are taking things online with masterclasses and panels from some of the industry’s most respected international artists and professionals.
Glasgow icons Slam, DJ and producer Nightwave, artist Rebekah and rapper and BAFTA nominated film maker Loki - aka Darren McGarvey - will all be involved at the event which is taking place on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th of February.
On each day there will be one panel and two masterclasses, both streamed live, meaning attendees can learn and ask the artists and industry professionals questions directly from their own home.
Rosie Shannon, Soma Skool Project Manager, said: "We are proud to be able to continue our passion in educating the minds of tomorrow in our industry with Soma Skool 2021.
"In these current times the industry has been stalled but this event has been curated to show it is still very much alive and full of creators and professionals ready to nurture it.
"We hope that this event helps revitalise future and current careers in our industry and its audiences, at a time where it’s needed most."
