Expect

What to Expect at an Underground Retreat

Collaborate on Music as a Group

Every time we host a public retreat, we create & release songs as a group. Throughout the week, you’ll have the opportunity to submit songs you create at the retreat to be part of our collab releases. You don’t need to submit your music, but we highly encourage it!

Learn from Industry Guest Speakers

During your stay, we will have various guest speakers and classes lined up to teach your about a number of topics, including sync licensing, becoming a full time creative, mastering short form content, getting industry connections, and more. Each retreat will have different classes & speakers depending on availability.

Develop Long-Lasting Relationships with other Creatives

Build up industry friendships that last a lifetime & continue to collaborate outside of the retreat. The stay will come to an end at the end of the week, but our work isn’t done! Continuing to be connected with everyone is one of the most beneficial things you can do if you want to make the most out of your trip.

Submit Beats & Songs for Major Opportunities

Send in some of your best work for exclusive pack requests that we get from industry producers, artists, A&Rs and managers. These opportunities include shopping your songs around to mainstream artists, getting beats to chart-topping studios, and more! Occasionally, we will also receive packs from top producers to use at the retreat.

Showcase Your Music at Listening Parties

During each night (except for the arrival day) we host listening parties – one of the most fun aspects about our retreats. Everyone gathers to one spot in the venue and has the opportunity to showcase what they worked on that day.

Work on Visuals, Create Content, & more!

Videographers and photographers will work together with artists on music videos, visuals, photoshoots, and more. Anyone that’s creative is invited!

Underground Retreats started unofficially in 2021 when I invited a bunch of friends to get together to make music – I never had the chance to collab that much in person & I thought this would be the perfect way to do it. A bunch of my friends all agreed to pitch in on a big AirBNB and make music for a week. During that trip, I made a Tiktok video about it and overnight it had 600,000 plays 🤯 Tons of people started asking me questions such as “how can I come?”, “are you doing this again?”, and lots of other positive feedback about the concept.

I quickly decided it was time to plan another trip and invite a bunch of the strangers from TikTok to see how it would go… and it went better than I could have ever hoped. We had a small group of 20 people at the house and made some of the best music of our lives, built some friendships that are still here to this day, and created a week that we would never forget.

“If you're on the fence about coming to one of these, please do yourself a favor and just take the jump, i promise you'll meet some of the coolest people ever and never look at making music the same ever again. After every time i go, I find myself at a completely different level creative and confidence wise, now I'm counting down the days until I can come back 🙏”

Hey_pich

“Life-changing!!! I'm very antisocial and suffer from social anxiety, this leads me to not wanting to work with others. This was my first retreat and It's crazy how much just one retreat made me improve so much as a music producer, photographer, and future artist. I made A LOT of connections, learned so much from all the talented people who attended, and became inspired by everyone's work discipline. This isn't only just a fun trip to make new friends, it's the best investment you could spend if you plan on taking music seriously. I definitely plan on attending many more!”

The_essential_guitarist

“Taking the leap and going to these retreats was one of the best decisions of my life and musical career. I make some of my best music at these retreats and meet the most awesome and talented people. It's an amazing environment for new and experienced artists alike and if you want to level up as an artist and make some lifelong connections along the way, you should pop out!”
