Get ready for the Philippines’ annual electronic music convention, the Electronic MusiCon and Expo, on June 19 – 21, 2015 at SMX Convention Center, SM Aura, Taguig City.

Popularly known as EMEX, it is the event every electronic music enthusiast looks forward to because of its creative lineup of educational talks, gear exhibits, and acclaimed speakers and panelists from the local and international electronic music scene. 

Last year, a broad range of industry topics were covered from essential production tips on music software, skill discussions for DJs, sound engineering workshops, new product demos, and debates on industry issues, all made even more interesting with live performances and showcases in between. Spotlight was shed on key figures such as the Natural Born Klubbers, ToneDef Music artists, and indie dance music record labels. Interesting issues such as The Art Of The Opening DJ, Serato versus Traktor, commercial music vs underground music, The LGBT DJ Community, and software syncing were tackled.

Workshops on vocal processing, beat programming, composition and software use were also offered. Pioneer DJ, one of the country’s biggest DJ brands celebrated their 20th year anniversary by launching a new line of DJ products that includes their DJ turntable, the PLX-1000, and the groundbreaking KUVO software. Headphones by Audio Technica were also made available for demonstration as well as products from The Music Source such as Traktor, Native Instruments, and many more. 

This year a couple of EMEX staples return along with even more new offerings for enthusiasts. Talks on Ableton Live make a comeback this year, which will be hosted by Bounce Electronic Music & DJ School as they bring in from Hong Kong, Ableton Certified trainer, Ryan Ash. Izotope Inc, is set to provide product workshops under Evan Allen, Izotope’s very own product specialist.

Certified Logic Pro X professional, Josh Evangelista will also demonstrate how to produce dance music using Apple’s popular software, Logic Pro X. A couple of new entries to the list are the keyboard masterclass clinic with Eric Tubon, Dan Gil, and the Bratpack’s RJ Pineda.

Recurring industry interests such as Night Club Marketing and Local Festivals are shared once more aside from new issues such as The Loudness Wars, and DJ Rates and Foreign Equities.
