AIU DAY CELEBRATIONS

# AI:Underground's 1-Year Anniversary – 60 Hour Listening Party!

Message from GhostRyder

AIU FAM!

We've got a lineup of Album Premieres and Listening Parties happening for our **60-hour Listening Party** celebrating **AI:Underground's first anniversary!** With **185 hours** already in our record books, we know this community loves a never-ending party.

Kicking us off will be **Vikingur/Mezdesson**. There has been a slight change in location—his listening party will now be taking place on the AI:Underground Discord.

For those of you who don't know, we started our listening parties with Mez and Zalixor on Discord. What began as a casual listening session turned into one of the highlights of AI:Underground today.

We truly appreciate everyone who's been with us on this journey. Be sure to submit tracks to the AIU Day Challenge, and feel free to showcase them during this weekend's Listening Parties and Album Premieres. It's all about celebrating the music and showing appreciation for a community like this.

I'll be around most of the weekend talking with many of you personally, sharing the story of how we all got started, and discussing some of the pivotal behind-the-scenes decisions that helped shape AI:Underground into what it is today.

Lastly, I'd like to personally thank our moderators, hosts, and admin team for believing in this vision and understanding that this community has always been bigger than any one person. The conversation that cemented the creation of AI:Underground was me telling Vicky, "I'm doing this for us—all of us." We've stayed true to that all year.
