Co-Production Mentorship Programme

Calling all up-and-coming producers! Refuge Worldwide is launching its first ever EP, bringing together five emerging artists with five established producers from the community around our radio station.

Successful applicants will be paired with one of our five mentors Alinka, KMRU, Mehmet Aslan, MSJY/Xades, or Zoë Mc Pherson and will co-produce a track in our music production studio at Niemetzstrasse. Each artist pairing will have around 3 studio sessions to develop their track, as well as remote tutoring, and the results will be released later this year via Beatport and Bandcamp. Realised in partnership with Beatport's Diversity + Parity Fund, this first project is designed to provide emerging producers with a valuable mentorship experience, hands-on production guidance, and industry exposure. (Please note: this course is not intended for beginner producers, participants should have at least a basic understanding of the equipment and processes)

This EP also marks the launch of Refuge Worldwide’s in-house label, dedicated to showcasing the music created in our studio space.

Applications are now open via the form below and will remain open until 11AM on Monday March 3rd, when Refuge and the mentor will decide on the successful applicants together. Tentative studio dates are set for April / May 2025. Applicants should be based in Berlin and able to meet in person (if you have access needs, please detail below and we will do our best to take those into account).
