The principles that make Mystics of Sound a space worth being in. These guidelines apply to everyone — artists, organizers, fans, and team.
Mystics of Sound is built on the belief that music culture is worth protecting — that artists deserve respect, audiences deserve authenticity, and community spaces deserve care. These guidelines are our collective agreement about the kind of platform we want MoS to be.
They are not exhaustive rules for every situation, but principles for how we treat each other. When in doubt: would you be comfortable if this interaction were visible to the whole community?
