The One Groove Sync Residency is an intensive, cross-continental initiative designed to bridge the gap between artistic creation and the global commercial sync market. In collaboration with Field Supply (Berlin/Amsterdam), this dynamic creative camp in Johannesburg unites music creators from Denmark and South Africa. It serves as a strategic platform where songwriting, storytelling, and cultural diplomacy converge, equipping artists with the practical framework to navigate film, TV, and digital media placements while fostering shared international understanding.
Each residency brings together a carefully selected, rotating cohort of dynamic music creators from Denmark and South Africa. Spanning producers, topliners, beatmakers, and vocalists, this diverse collective represents the cutting edge of cross-cultural sound. As the Sync Residency continues to evolve, so does our community of alumni — expanding our global network of collaborative, sync-ready talent.

Frameworks for Innovation
Commercial sync briefs provide a shared architectural framework where diverse voices intersect. Artists lean into bold experimentation, proving that structured commercial demands actively drive uncharted, cross-cultural musical innovation.
Cultural Synthesis
Every residency generates a catalogue of music unique to the exact convergence of Danish and South African talent. By bringing deeply rooted local heritage into a shared global context, creators forge authentic, highly sought-after sounds for the modern sync market.
Industry Integration
The residency culminates in a dynamic public listening session and industry panel. Experts in publishing, music supervision, and branding provide artists with actionable pathways for placing their tracks in global film and advertising.
Shifting Dynamics
We intentionally cultivate an environment that reimagines traditional industry structures. Working naturally in female-led rooms shifts how creative conversations unfold, fostering a deeply trusting, fearless space that entirely re-energises the artists’ creative processes.
