[Description]
It's official!

The first annual Northwest House Music Conference (NHMC) is happening in Portland Starting Tuesday July 30th - Sunday August 4th. We are bringing some of the finest names in the underground house scene to the Northwest for an entire week. By bringing so many labels, artists and music entities together, we are looking to start something new, something fresh and something that features quality house music in the spot light.

We are only going to share some preliminary information with you right now, but we think it is enough to get any house heads attention. This will be an industry music conference aimed at attracting not just fans of the music looking to catch their favorite artists performing, but also workshops and seminars on everything from track production, to starting and correctly marketing your own label. We are even planning on featuring work shops and talks on the history and technique of dancing in house music culture, as well as the visual arts that play such a huge role in the music scene.

The following labels/music entities will be hosting events featuring their artists:

Dufflebag
