09 March 2011

Debt Records co-founder John Louis (aka Louis Barabbas) has accepted a position on the Un-Convention advisory board.

Un-Convention is a global grassroots music event and community that meets physically and virtually to share ideas and debate cutting edge issues around music, technology and creativity, facilitating members engagement with their peers. Un-Convention is not about the business of music. The community is driven by a not for profit initiative that sees opportunity for the grassroots in the changes to the way music is being produced, consumed and sustained.
