Hosted by the University of Huddersfield, this event combines the IASPM UK&I Biennial Conference, with the 13th Art of Record Production Conference (ARP), a conference of ISMMS, and feature the additional participation of Dancecult. The theme of the conference is Crosstown Traffic: Popular Music Theory and Practice.
A recurrent theme within popular music studies has been discussion of how the field can integrate different disciplines and professions, for example exploring both music and its context; involving both practitioners and researchers; and encouraging interdisciplinary and collaborative work. Many different issues make such approaches challenging, and various different popular music focused subject organisations have developed somewhat independently of one another. This conference brings four such groups together, to exchange knowledge, collaborate, and to encourage crosstalk.

IASPM UK&I: Rupert Till
ARP: Katia Isakoff, Shara Rambarran
