RECAP | Push The Buttons Vol. 3

PressEventPast Events
Written By AB

The third edition of Push The Buttons was a landmark moment, bringing PVC members together from across Europe, the USA, and Canada for our first-ever in-person meet-and-greet! The night was filled with networking, gear talk, jam sessions, an open mic, and plenty of snacks and drinks.

With many attendees meeting for the first time, the focus shifted slightly from gear alone to catching up and sharing experiences. But it proved to be an ideal warm-up for Sonic Playground 2024, which awaited us the following day.

A huge thank you to everyone involved for the positive vibes and valuable insights! We're already looking forward to next time. Keep an eye out here for details on Push The Buttons Vol. 4, coming sometimes next year.

Special kudos to our label mate @yukiobergholdt for hosting us all.
