Epic Music Production Courses

Whether you fancy yourself a left-field experimental artist, a House DJ, rockstar or a hippedy hop doo bop rapper, you won't get anywhere without the tools to get the voices in your head out into existence. Epic 101 Studios production courses launched last year and have since become a conveyor belt for some of the most promising Egyptian producers, all with their own unique soundscape, a tribute to the way the courses are crafted to help you find what your sounds is and make it work. Graduates include Aguizi & Fahim, SHawky, Amr Moustafa, Timmy Mowafi and Cartoon Therapy. Courses begin again this month, you can register by e-mailing info@epic101studios.com.
