Quality Drop 02: Songcamp x Catalog go B2B

Fresh off the success of Quality Drop 01, Quality Drop 02 brings together two champions of onchain music to create an IRL musical experience.

In Quality Drop 02, Songcamp and Catalog are bringing back-to-back IRL soundtracks to two of Brooklyn’s most striking venues: the superspeaker haven of Public Records’ wood-paneled Sound Room, and the webbed-beam chamber hall at National Sawdust. 

Collectors of “B2B Signature Edition” (.02 ETH | $30 USD/50 editions available) receive a ticket to both shows:

• Nite 1 (4/12) → Songcamp presents CLUB CHAOS @ Public Records
• Nite 2 (4/13) → Catalog presents CONVERGENCE @ National Sawdust
• Both shows are 21+
• This Metalabel drop offers the earliest chance to secure tickets

“B2B Signature Edition” collectors also receive a voucher to claim a B2B art print designed by peace_node, only available to people who attend Nite 1 or Nite 2 in-person.

Collectors of the “B2B Open Edition” (.002 ETH | $3 USD/open until Sunday March 19th) receive a commemorative digital poster for the two shows designed by peace_node, but not tickets to the events themselves. This edition is specially designed for Songamp and Catalog fans who cannot physically attend the shows in NYC.

The Quality Drop will close on Sunday, March 19th, at 8pm EST.
