FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Atlanta, Georgia, September 2022

Beat Lounge is back at Soul Asylum Studios Atlanta on Saturday, September 10th!

Beat Lounge is back! Soul Asylum Studios Group, Keitha “Ms Crunk” Carter, DJ Nez, and SAS Group founder Rafael Capone are hosting the much anticipated music competition for songwriters, producers and artists on Saturday, September 10, 2022. Beat Lounge also encompasses a networking event and pop-up shop for those looking to connect with others in the industry and for ambitious entrepreneurs aimed at linking would-be customers to the goods or services they provide. The long awaited event takes place at the newly redesigned and immaculately outfitted Soul Asylum Studios Atlanta – The Laboratory (SASATL-The Lab). Soul Asylum Studios Atlanta – The Laboratory is a 13,000 sq ft. multifunctional creative space complete with a dance studio, recording studio, theater, showroom, film/photography studio, podcast room, lecture hall, gym, conference room, and more to provide all independent musical talent and guests the ultimate entertainment experience.

About Beat Lounge:

Beat Lounge provides a three-layered opportunity for music and entertainment industry professionals to showcase and challenge their talents, network with other industry professionals, and patronize or present relevant goods and services via the exclusive in-studio popup shop. The event serves as an avenue for discovering and catapulting new talent to the next level while simultaneously providing a highly technologically advanced creative space to showcase and shine a light on its competitors for music executives and decision makers to see. The music competition and networking event initially launched in 2014 at SAS ATL- The Castle but eventually took a necessary hiatus to allot SAS Group time for growth and major development. With all players and tools in position, Beat Lounge is set to be a go-to event for music industry professionals.

More about Beat Lounge:

The Atlanta music scene can undoubtedly be credited for producing some of the music industry’s most successful and notable songwriters, producers and artists. After taking notice of the current climate of the industry, the explosion of migrants to the city hoping to network and build a music career, and the steady flow of ambitious entrepreneurs working to build their brands, Beat Lounge hosts decided to provide a creative environment conducive to inspiring talent and producing hit records. Beat Lounge also functions as an intense filtering system and spotlight for music executives and professionals seeking talent to work with or sign, as well as a helpful part of artist development. Participants who compete at Beat Lounge undergo a selective screening process by way of music submissions prior to being given the opportunity to compete against their peers in person. After participants have received a favorable critique by event hosts Rafael Capone (chief engineer/owner), DJ (celebrity DJ), and Keitha “Ms Crunk” Carter (A&R/executive producer) selected participants are invited to attend Beat Lounge and compete and be judged on their respective talent in person. The winning songwriters, producer, and artist will be granted a guided opportunity to record their new hit song in Soul Asylum Studio’s world famous Platinum Suite. Our goal is to provide opportunity and deliver on fun and entertainment while encouraging music industry hopefuls to push forward to their next level. Songwriters, producers and artists are always guaranteed to “Create, Relax Create” at Soul Asylum Studios.
