There are 300 spaces available for each class, and they are free to attend if you sign up before 5pm GMT on 14th February. Beginners are encouraged to get involved, with no prior expertise in production necessary. Successful registrants will be notified by 18th February.

This latest series of production masterclasses from B.A.D. follows on from the launch last summer, with a run that took in classes from Loraine James, Russell E.L. Butler, KMRU and rRoxymore.

In November, B.A.D. launched the Black Creative Database as a means of shining a light on Black creatives working in disciplines outside of music production and DJing, such as design, digital media and visual art.
