Welcome to the latest playlist by Bianca Mayhew, organiser behind the upcoming Take Note conference.

The event, which takes place at Second Home in London, Shoreditch on 19 November, aims to provide insight for those looking into the world of electronic music. Confirmed speakers include Norman Jay MBE, Toddla T and Danny Daze as well as Ash Howard, dance account manager at PRS for Music.

Take Note's Bianca Mayhew has put together a selection of tracks profiling the event’s guests and speakers both past and future.

She said: ‘The music style varies a lot showing the range of genres within the electronic realm, all catered for at Take Note.

Music taste is subjective, and it's important to know what you like and be strong in your opinion. When working in music it’s also important to appreciate a wide range of styles for the talent behind it and the audience it's made for. I hope there is something in here for everyone!’
