CDR headed to South Africa in spring 2015 for a trip of cutural exchange and learning. We introduced South African artists, producers and audiences to new music straight from the UK and created dialogue as to ways of thinking for the further promotin of development of new electronically produced music through collaborations and communities.
The core of the trip was spent collaborating in the studio where a plethora of ideas were formed. All the audio recorded is available to download and freely play or rework for non-commercial use.
All samples and Ableton projects are published under an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 license (more info). If producers would like to release any reworks of the original material please get in touch so we can assist in connecting artists to work out the necessaries.

Each project (Tony’s studio A session and Esa’s studio B session) includes:
1. Red Bull Studios Cape Town Master Demo versions. A full list of artists who wrote and recorded with us is below, DJs please create credit the tracks to ‘The CDR SA 2015 Project’.
2. Ableton Live 9 Project of the master.
3. Audio recordings exported from each Ableton project in WAV format organised into folders, e.g. Drums, Bass, Vocals, FX etc
Producers have the option to use the Ableton project as a base (Ableton is available as 30 day free Trial from Ableton.com) or unpack the audio stems and work directly with these.
