Manifesto

Every record you love started as an instrumental.

Before the hook, before the verse, before the video, somebody sat with a drum machine and a loop until it felt right.

IDP is for that moment, and for the people who make it.

Side A
Since 2021

More than a day party.

Established in 2021, Instrumental Day Party is a music and lifestyle experience celebrating the sounds, creativity, and people behind the music.

Built around live DJs, instrumentals, producer showcases, artist conversations, and daytime experiences, IDP creates a space where music lovers and creatives can connect beyond the traditional party scene.

From classic sounds to emerging production, IDP shines a spotlight on the art of making music, the stories behind the beats, and the culture that brings people together.

IDP is a platform for producers, DJs, artists, and music enthusiasts to celebrate the foundation of music: the instrumental.

The IDP day

Every edition is different, but the shape stays the same: start in the sun, end with the people who make the music.

Doors in daylight
The party starts while the sun is still up. Grab a drink, find your people, and let the first selector ease everyone in with warm, open instrumentals.
The selectors
Live DJs work through instrumentals old and new: soul breaks, boom bap, beat-scene cuts and brand-new production, mixed for a room that came to listen and to move.
Producer spotlight
Producers take the decks and play their own beats. You hear the work straight from the people who made it, often before it’s out anywhere else.
The conversation
A short, unhurried sit-down with an artist or producer about how the music gets made: the samples, the sessions, and the stories behind the beats.
Golden hour
The light drops, the sets get deeper, and the room that walked in as strangers leaves trading numbers, links and ideas.

Interactive

Every beat starts on a pad.

Go on, make one. The top row is drums, the rest are bass and keys, all in the same key so nothing sounds wrong.

Sound on. Keys 1–4, Q–R, A–F, Z–V
