Beta Fest: Why this festival is going phone-free
The world’s largest online community record label, HRDRV, is hosting their first ever Beta Fest on Sunday, April 21st. After years of organizing successful industry events, HRDRV has launched Beta Fest to act as a rare crossover between artists, industry professionals, and music fans in Brooklyn, NY.
Unique to Beta Fest, there will be no phones allowed throughout the duration of the day’s events ranging from VIP panels to standout performances. The organizers of the event, Michaela Shiloh and Andre Mullen, want this to place emphasis on the need to form a community by maximizing face time and interactions and limiting distractions. By staying phone free, it allows all guests to fully immerse themselves and interact with the HRDRV community the way it was always envisioned.
HRDRV is an online, community based record label that helps up-and-coming artists, producers, and songwriters navigate their careers. HRDRV is made possible by a community of music lovers and doers, which is exactly why Beta Fest was designed with this in mind. There are currently no other events like it happening in New York, despite it being a major music hub.
The final lineup will be announced in the coming weeks.
