What: Origin NYE Festival
When: 31 December, 2017
Where: Claremont Showground, Perth, Australia
Featuring a stacked line-up including Schoolboy Q, Stormzy, Princess Nokia and more, Origin NYE is slowly creeping its way up the FOMO ladder to claim the title of the best New Year’s festival in Australia. The fest has previously lent its stage to the likes of A$AP Rocky and Die Antwoord with 2017 set to send to send punters into 2018 with feverish hysterics.
Want to share the stage with the world’s biggest hip hop and electronic acts? Here’s how you can test your chops…
This year, Origin and Lab Six are giving 4 Australian DJs the chance to cut their teeth and test their beats, mixes and bars on the coveted stages of the New Years party. Is there really a better way to usher in 2018 than warming the already party-ready crowd for the soothing beats of Kaytranada, Schoolboy Q’s crushing bars and Mura Masa’s straight up bangers?
Anyone can submit a sample mix for consideration, with the best 3 from each stage judged and shortlisted by a panel from the teams at Origin and Lab Six.
Suss the vibe for each of the Origin NYE 2017 stages:
POD // Mix to complement a lineup of hip-hop, rap, grime
BASE // Pure ‘Drum n Bass’ sounds
TERMINAL // All things bass – ranging in dubstep, trap & electro
NEW (NAME TBC) // Electronic beats – broad house, techno, disco vibes
Get your sample mix in by 6pm Fri 24 Nov to be shortlisted and voted on by the public. The top voted from each stage will be crowned with a set time at Origin NYE 2017. For all entry details see the official Origin NYE website.
