Si Hawkins, Clash Magazine
What are you up to here at SPOT? I’m mainly here to write concert reviews and some more general stuff on the festival, but I’m also going to be attending some panels. I haven’t planned which concerts I’ll review, I’m just hoping to find them as i go. I actually did a top 5 of my favorite SPOT concerts some time ago. I remember Kellermensch was on there; they got me into the heavier genres.
Which shows are going to go to? There’s so many I’d like to see. But I’ll definitely be checking out The Hearing and Liss. I heard Velvet Volume earlier, they are amazing.
Vidhi Gandhi, Ninja Tune
Hi Vidhi, what do you do at Ninja? I’m an A&R. Currently, I’m working with artists like David August, Conner Youngblood, Odessa and Tiga.
Which shows are you looking forward to in particular? Sera, Liima and Sea Lion.
Sean Sprey, Greco-Roman
What do you do at Greco-Roman? I’m label manager and A&R. We mostly work with pop and dance music. We’ve signed artists like Roosevelt and Tirzah. I’m here at SPOT Festival looking for artists and managers to connect with. I’d really like to talk to the guys from Skandinavian.
Which shows are you going to watch? Liss and M.I.L.K, definitely.
Jesper Gadeberg, musicstylist.com
Hi Jesper, what do you guys do at musicstylist? I’m a music supervisor. I get hired by different brands to find music for their ad campaigns and such. I’m here at SPOT for mainly 2 reasons: networking and attending panels – I am doing some talks myself as well. Also, I’m always on the lookout for new bands and tendencies in music.
Which concerts are you going to watch? Liima, Kill J and Chinah

Tell us a bit about TMJ: We are a booking and management agency based in Berlin, founded this year. We mostly work with indie, folk and singer/songwriter acts. I am the manager for Jim Kroft and Arionce and booking agent for Bender & Schillinger.
Are you looking forward to any shows in particular? I’m mostly looking to find something I haven’t heard before, but I’m really excited about Liima.

What are you doing here at SPOT? I’m mostly here for the networking. Scandinavia isn’t the biggest market for us, but we’re always looking for labels to “hand over” to our partner, Phonofile.
Which shows are you going to watch? Liss, Wangel and M.I.L.K all look exciting.
