EMCPlay 2016

Overview

If you've just finished a blood vessel-bursting pub rant about how Sydney parties are dead and this city's nightlife is in the bin, consider the rug beneath your feet pretty damn precarious.

EMCPlay, the more partying public-focused program of Sydney's annual Electronic Music Conference, is back for its fifth year, and essentially means you'll be hopping between big heaving hootenannies and showcases run by the country's favourite party crews, featuring 65 artists in four venues — with one $35 ticket.

Curated parties from labels, collectives and agencies including Pilerats, Nuff Said, Sidechains, etcetc, UNDR ctrl, Nap Girls, Purple Sneakers and more will take over Oxford Art Factory, World Bar, Hudson Ballroom and Oxford Circus on Wednesday, November 30 because apparently the Australian music industry is a-ok with letting us all do Thursday with a thumping bass head.

Official hub OAF is putting on the headline event with Lastlings, Nutrition, Dena Amy and Paces, while World Bar sees a showcase from management company Nuff Said and label etcetc. Audiopaxx, Kosher, Pilerats and Sidechains will bring a showcase to former Goodgod space Hudson Ballroom, while UNDR Ctrl, Purple Sneakers, Nap Girls and Deeper Than House invade the multiple floors of Oxford Circus.
