The CDR sessions are about new, unreleased music. Whether you are signed, unsigned, world-famous or, as yet, undiscovered, we play only music that you have made and brought along on the night. CDR is the future sound of underground music – still under construction.

The brainchild of London-based burntprogress duo Tony Nwachukwu and Gavin Alexander, CDR was launched in Australia back in 2006 by Lorna Clarkson (Fbi Radio) and Mark Pritchard (Warp). With Tony as host for the first Australian Session, the night was a massive success! The spark was lit – CDR Sydney was born.

Now, alongside Lorna and Mark, the CDR team has grown, including Sofie Loizou (Southern Outpost), Alex Crowfoot (OllO) and Martin Flex. Every few months we aim to bring motivated music manipulators together to hear their own, and other people’s, ideas and creations on a chunky sound system. No pressure – just music appreciation over a cold beer.

In addition to hearing fresh tracks from Sydney’s finest, you’ll also get to hear the latest, unreleased gear from big names around the world, as our CDR DJs use their extensive connections to get their hands on some of the hottest wavs in existence.

In short – essential midweek business for all producers and new music lovers.
