We’re back with @MusicHackspace, and this time we’re in Amsterdam for @ADE_NL.
We’re handing you Stable Audio 3.0 and seeing what you do with it.
The challenge is simple. Build a tool other producers can use.

In May, @valcoholics1 & I spent 36 hours at the @MusicHackspace hackathon in Lisbon building Afterglow, a way to organize your DJ library by how you actually DJ.
Tools organize by collection. DJs think by context.

Are you innovating, or waiting for someone else to?
Boston. Lisbon. Montréal. Next stop: Amsterdam Dance Event
At every Music Hackspace hackathon, we invite artists to set the tone, sponsors to set the challenges, and a room full of builders, musicians and future founders to see what's possible in 36 hours. Your product becomes their playground, used in ways you never thought to ask for.
Hear it from the partners who've been there, and from the people who built with them.
R&D without a budget. 🎛️
