Indie Label Fair Budapest again with our contribution and support

The Independent Label Fair Budapest (ILF) is Hungary’s first initiative with the aim of bringing the country’s independent music scene together, and HAIL is proudly holding their hand since the very beguinning.

We encourage independent record labels to go offline, gather and present their catalogues to each other and most importantly to their audiences, at least once a year. Besides the fair and music program, each year we organise lectures, roundtables and interviews reflecting on relevant topics e.g. distribution, copyright issues, business administration.

The professional program will be in Hungarian, but these are the topics we cover:

11-12.15 Label History: Ugar Records
Katalin Wágner (UGAR, co-owner), Vilmos Solymosi (Dj Bootsie, Yonderboi, Zagar), Marcell Dudás (Marcel), Ambrus Tövisházi (Amorf Ördögök, Erik Sumo). Hosted by Krisztián Forrai (journalist)
