ARTIST FAQ

basic info

firstly, thank you all so much for your involvement. this project is intended to be a celebration of edinburgh’s underground music scene and give the community a chance to come together, socialise and party. subterranean sound is a 2-day indoor festival located at sweetdram distillery and will take place over friday 6th & saturday 7th of october. the event will take place from 3pm until 1am each day.

our aim is to try and create a unique experience, so we will be bringing in our hand-built lighting rig, using a very unique soundsystem and supplementing that with the DJ booth placed in the middle of the dancefloor.

your artist liaison is Bartek and is contactable at bbartek.lech@gmail.com. for more general questions please email contact@subbteranean.party.

payment & Invoicing+–

we really want to pay our artists a fair wage for their amazing work. with this in mind our base rate for all artists will be £80/h. to encourage extra promotion and to further compensate you, we will be paying out £120/h if the event sells out. payment will be made once funds have been released by RA and we have received an invoice. this normally happens a week after the event. please send your invoices to contact@subterranean.party
