A bit of history
The workshop idea arose for the first time in July 2005 in Wallis(Switzerland).
Couple of friends sharing the same pleasure to produce psytrance and some other kinds of electronic music decided to take one week holiday together to meet in a place dedicated for music production. This has been realized in a small house in the mountains where two studios were installed. Of course, spend time to produce together and exchange knowledge was the main idea of this action, but it was also about being with good friends having a good time. This first place was in a house called "Le Primitif", it is why this name stayed for the workshop session. After this first edition, two tracks produced have been released. Then, the next year we made it a bit bigger, with one more studio and couple of more people joining us. Arriving to the third edition, we contacted people from other countries to come, as well as publishing the concept on internet. So, any producer with any level could come to this meeting to learn and to teach.

More about the project
The workshop head team is composed of several professional producers, DJs, label managers, party organizers, plug-in developers or also electronic and computer technicians. Since the first edition, we noticed that it was impressive how much benefit and motivation this meeting generated for everyone. The success with the 3rd edition prompted us to create an official association to make things more serious and to attract the attention of some institutions to get financial support to cover some of the associated expenses. We wish to take this project further and increase its potential.

About the Association
Primitif Association, created in 2007 is a non-profit organization with the purpose to offer a pleasant gathering related to music production. None of the organizers make any profit with this project. All the funds raised are used to benefit the project itself.

Wide International Network
Being very active in the scene, we developed over the years a large network all around the globe with not less than 20 labels, many party promoters and artists. This might be a good opportunity for upcoming artists who show great potential to be promoted further.
