After a successful first event at The Barbican in February, Swap Meet heads to The Big Chill Festival this summer! A nod to the infamous Roadium Open Air Market swap meets of the 80s, where Dr Dre distributed his mixtapes, in addition to contemporary mixtape and bedroom studio culture. Swap Meet facilitates live and physical face-to-face exchange of material between artists operating from different genres enabling experimentation and infinite collaging possibilities.

Swap Meet invites a broad spectrum of artists and organizations to the Big Chill. From pioneering contemporary classical record label and classical music super club promoters Non- Classical, to youth music organizations including Urban Development and Rising Tide. With a good dose of sonic arts and experimentation provided from organizations including, MFA Computational Studio Arts at Goldsmiths University, FACT and Cybersonica’s AV LAB.
