Networking brunches have now begun in New York, and the connections we’ve made are career-changing.” WHAT TO EXPECT AT A NARIP BRUNCH For over 25 years NARIP (and its previous incarnation, the Los Angeles Music Network) have hosted brunches to enable record and music industry professionals to mix and mingle in a comfortable setting with a bit of food. For some time had NARIP Brunches in restaurants but found private spaces to be more comfortable and welcoming. When an individual or organization hosts a brunch, NARIP requests that basic food and drink items be available, and the rest is up to their discretion and budget.REGISTER NOW Please register online by Friday, June 16, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. so we can prepare enough refreshments for everyone.

Placements secured and professional relationships formed through these meetings are so good that we felt this format would work well for those who represent catalogs and/or seek intimate pitch opportunities. ABOUT DAN WILCOX It was evident at an early age that Dan Wilcox had a passion for music – he learned how to use his parents’ turntable before he could tie his shoes. Growing up in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, interesting music was in short supply and Dan would frequent the college record store, comb garage sales, scan fanzines and make out-of-town trips just to satisfy his craving for intriguing and exotic tunes, both new and old. This experience serves him well to this day as both a DJ and a music supervisor. For years, Dan was Music Director at Ten Music, a company that found commercial licensing opportunities for indie artists. He now works freelance as a music supervisor for various film, TV and ad projects. Since 2007, Dan has hosted a Saturday night music program on KCRW. He hosts a musical piñata of sounds perfect for a night of partying, including new discoveries, remixes and rarities, b-sides and lost classics. In addition, he has deejayed at many of the top nightspots in Los Angeles, including The Standard Hotel, Bardot, Zanzibar, The Crocker Club and a residency at The Doheny, as well as various events at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles Film Festival and the Independent Spirit Awards.
