How a retreat works

Arrive with ideas. Leave with masters.

A structured production week rather than a holiday with a laptop: coaching every day, a listening circle every night, and a release at the end of it.

Days 1–2

Arrive and settle

Check in, welcome dinner, a short remix challenge to break the ice, and a listening circle so everyone hears everyone on night one.

Days 3–5

Produce with coaches

Open production from 10am with the founders moving between rooms. Arrangement, mix and groove notes while you work, not after. Open decks and Q&A at night.

Days 6–7

Polish, submit, celebrate

Finalise your track with a coach, submit it for the retreat compilation, then a BBQ and a sunset listening session. Free day and farewell dinner to close.

Retreat 003. Portugal. You decide when.

We only announce a retreat once there are enough producers to fill it. Join the waiting list, tell us what you want to work on, and you hear first when the dates are set. No deposit, no commitment.

Join the waiting list. It takes a minute.
When enough producers are in for a season, we lock a venue and dates.
You get the details first, before the community and before Instagram.

History

Two retreats so far

Each retreat is a different venue and a different set of producers. The constant is the output: a finished track per guest and a compilation on R-TRYBE Records.

002

Algarve, Portugal

Dates: 1–8 November 2026
Where: Boutique hotel, Carrapateira, Aljezur. One hour from Faro.
Mentors: Huxley, Ramin Rezaie, BAKKIS
Guests: Sold out. Five returned from 001.
Output: Retreat 002 compilation, in production

A new venue on the Atlantic coast, studios on every terrace, and a full week of production. The second retreat compilation is being mixed and mastered now. The first survey answers are in: five out of five overall, five out of five for the coaching, and everyone would recommend it.

You quickly realise that even your biggest idols are simply human. The coaches are wholeheartedly committed to helping you reach your goals, and the results speak for themselves. An experience I wouldn't have missed.

Marco Weber · Retreat 002 guest, released on RTR006

Being surrounded by talented, like-minded creatives in an environment dedicated to music was both inspiring and motivating. I left with a fresh perspective on production.

001

Alicante hills, Spain

Dates: 11–18 October 2025
Where: Private villa with two pools and a listening room
Mentors: Huxley, Ramin Rezaie, BAKKIS
Guests: Six producers from the US, UK, Germany and Norway
Output: RTR006 · Retreat VA 001, out on R-TRYBE Records

The first one. Six guests, a week in the hills, and a various-artists compilation written entirely on site. Every guest said they would recommend it, and five booked the next one.

This retreat cured my year-long procrastination and self-doubt on day one. I walked out with six new tracks.

Retreat 001 guest

I expected to come out with maybe two tracks. To have almost finished five was amazing.

FAQ

Before you register

Does registering interest commit me to anything?

No. It tells us you want to hear first, and when you could travel. Nothing is booked and nothing is charged until a retreat is announced and you choose a spot.

How many people does a retreat need?

Roughly eight to twelve producers, depending on the venue. Once a season has that many registered, we lock the venue and send dates to everyone on the list.

What is included?

Private en-suite room, all meals and drinks, airport transfers, daily coaching from the founders, listening sessions and the farewell dinner. Flights and optional excursions are on you.

Do I need to be an advanced producer?

No. Retreat 001 had guests from first-year producers to artists with label releases. Coaching is one-to-one, so it meets you where you are.

Do members get priority?

Yes. Members hear first and get first pick of spots. If you are not a member yet, you can still join the waiting list here.

What do I bring?

Laptop with your DAW updated, studio headphones, chargers and an external drive. Interface and controllers are optional. Everything else is taken care of.
