Right from your computer every week and get the information necessary to help determine your next steps in the music industry.
What is it?
The MEC is an online club for aspiring artists, producers, managers, and label owners. Through live weekly video chats, webinars, beat/song critique sessions, and a private group, members learn from and interact with established music industry professionals.
Why a Club?
The music industry changes so fast that often times books can't keep up with the latest information. Furthermore, there aren't very many resources that understand the independent artist experience and are willing to give you the real information.
Who Is Involved?
The club was founded and ran by co-founder of Funk Volume Damien Ritter, Chris "Kato" Ju, DJ Pain 1 in partnership with DJBooth and BeatStars. Together they work to recruit a diverse cross-section of artists, producers, and professionals so you can get a variety of perspectives on how to achieve success in this industry.
WHAT DOES EACH MEMBERSHIP INCLUDE?
Every week we address a different topic. If you have an idea for a topic or would like to know more about particular area of the music industry, then just ask. We cater to what you need and want to know about.

DJ Pain 1
Known for his production on Young Jeezy's platinum-selling album The Recession, producer Pacal "DJ Pain 1" Bayley stays busy. His journey started in the late 90's while cultivating hip-hop sensibilities through visual art, DJing, and beat-making. He balanced a career in youth service/teaching with creating music, often times marrying the two – he co-founded the first hip-hop performing arts program housed in an institute of higher education in his hometown.
Once he decided to focus on his production career, his resume quickly grew to include both legendary hip-hop acts (Public Enemy, MC Lyte) as well as contemporary hit-makers (Rae Sremmurd, 2 Chainz, 50 Cent). He has also garnered attention for his online video series on production and music business know-how.
