The next hit record
starts in the room.
Aux Cord Passport gives gold, platinum, Grammy nominated, and award winning producers, engineers, A&Rs, and executives exclusive access to intimate Pass the Aux sessions, where LA's most promising independent artists share their music and special guests like you give feedback. Free. No strings attached.
This is where you find the artist before everyone else does.

The talent
5 to 10 artists per session
Hear independent artists play their music on professional speakers. Raw talent, no filter, no algorithm. Just the music.
The access
Drop in on your schedule
Browse upcoming sessions. RSVP when you see one you can pull up to. Show up, listen, leave. Completely on your terms.
The connection
Connect directly with artists
Hear someone special? Leave private feedback, share your contact, start a conversation. No middlemen.
Why this is different
You hear them before the world does
Real speakers, real reaction
You hear the music the way it was meant to be heard. Professional studio monitors, proper acoustics, full attention.
No time wasted
Each session is 2 to 3 hours. You hear a dozen artists in one sitting. Better than scrolling through a thousand SoundCloud links.
See them in their element
An artist playing their music in a room full of peers is different from a polished submission. You see the energy, the confidence, the potential.
Completely free
No subscription, no fees, no credit card. If your track record speaks for itself, this is our way of giving back to the people who shape the industry.
