About this event
Electronic music scenes grow through connection as much as through sound. Electronic Music Club — Reverse Network Meet is a late-night, in-person gathering in Medellín designed for people who care about electronic music and want better conversations than the usual quick intro over a loud room. Instead of waiting for the right person to find you, this format helps create intentional exchanges between people across the local music community. Whether you produce, DJ, organize, write, design, promote, or simply follow the culture closely, this meetup is built to make meeting people feel easier, more focused, and more useful. The goal is simple: bring together a room of people who are serious about electronic music, give them a structure that lowers the usual social friction, and let strong conversations lead the night. What Is This? This is a reverse network meet centered on electronic music and the wider community around it. That means the event is not just a casual social where everyone is left to figure things out on their own. It is designed to create more direct, balanced conversations so attendees can actually learn who is in the room, what they care about, and where there may be creative or professional overlap. In a typical networking setting, the loudest voices or most connected people often dominate the room. A reverse-network format shifts that dynamic by encouraging more thoughtful, reciprocal introductions. It creates space for people to talk about what they make, what they are exploring, what they need, and what they can offer to others in the scene. This matters in electronic music, where collaboration often happens across roles. A producer may be looking for visual support, a selector may want to connect with promoters, a community builder may want to meet artists with a clear sound, and fans may want a closer relationship to the culture they support. This event exists to make those links easier to start. What to Expect Expect a meetup with real structure, but not a rigid or overly formal atmosphere. The evening is built to help people move past surface-level introductions and into conversations that are actually relevant to the work, ideas, and communities they want to build around electronic music. You can expect a mix of: Guided introductions that make it easier to say who you are and what brings you to the room Conversation prompts focused on music, scenes, collaboration, and current projects Rotating exchanges that let you meet more than just the first few people nearby Open networking time for following up with the people you most want to talk to A community-first atmosphere where curiosity and listening matter as much as self-promotion Because the event starts at 9:00 PM, it fits the rhythm of nightlife and music culture better than a daytime mixer. That timing can create a more relaxed and open energy, especially for people whose schedules and creative lives already revolve around evening hours. It also makes this feel aligned with the world it represents, rather than separate from it. The conversations themselves may range widely: local scene-building, track feedback, event ideas, artist development, audience growth, visual identity, collaboration opportunities, and the realities of making electronic music culture sustainable. You do not need to arrive with a pitch. It is enough to come ready to talk honestly about where you are and what you want to build or understand next. Why Attend If you care about electronic music beyond just listening, this event offers something practical: better access to the people, perspectives, and relationships that shape a scene. Good scenes are not built only through talent. They are built through trust, repeated contact, and a shared sense of momentum. This meetup gives you a direct way into that process. You may leave with a future collaborator, a clearer sense of the Medellín electronic music landscape, a new creative lead, or simply a stronger feeling of where you fit within the community. Not every useful connection becomes immediate work, and that is part of the point. Sometimes the value is in meeting people early, before the need becomes urgent. This is also a strong room for people who often feel overlooked in conventional networking spaces. If you are thoughtful, skilled, curious, or building something real but do not enjoy forcing your way into conversations, a more intentional format can make a major difference. It rewards clarity, openness, and actual engagement with others. For regulars in the scene, this is a chance to widen your circle beyond the people you already know. For newer attendees, it is a way to enter with context instead of guessing how to break in. In both cases, the event supports the same outcome: a stronger, more connected electronic music community. Practical Details Electronic Music Club — Reverse Network Meet takes place in person in Medellín, Colombia on Sunday, May 17 at 9:00 PM GMT-5. The in-person format matters here. Music communities are built face to face, and this event is designed around that direct exchange. Because this is a meetup and networking-focused gathering, it is worth arriving ready to introduce yourself clearly. Think about how you would describe your relationship to electronic music in a few sentences: what you do, what interests you, and what kinds of people or ideas you hope to connect with. That small bit of preparation can make every conversation more useful. A few practical ways to get more from the night: Arrive on time so you can catch the opening flow of introductions Be specific about your interests, projects, or goals Listen actively and make room for mutual exchange Follow up with the people you connect with most strongly Come with curiosity, even if you are still figuring out your place in the scene If electronic music is part of how you create, connect, work, or think, this is a room worth being in. Medellín has the energy; this event gives that energy a format that helps people actually meet.
