EMCPlay’s programmer Dave Ruby Howe shares his insights on the 2017 program: “You need only look at the biggest names in new electronic music right now to see how in demand Australian acts are at the moment. With artists like Alison Wonderland, Flume, RÜFÜS and What So Not slaying on a global scale it couldn’t be a better time to take a closer look at the next generation of local talent that’s on the rise. The collection of successful applicants that showed the most exciting potential and join the 2017 EMC Play lineup boast a bit of something for everyone with the body-shaking bass flavours of artists like Tiber and Arcane Echo, shapeshifting genre-non-conformists in Elkkle and Various Asses, and prodigious worshipers of groove like The Nights and Mickey Kojak. You’ll find emerging acts making exciting early moves at the start of their careers as well as those names like MUTO and Miss Blanks that look ready to blow at any moment. Shout out to all those acts that applied and gold stars for those who made the final lineup, there’s big things ahead.”

Alongside EMCPlay, Electronic Music Conference will present exclusive cinema screenings of select music documentaries in 2017. From Surry Hills’ Golden Age, catch the widely applauded Grace Jones biopic Bloodlight and Bami on December 2, and from Chippendale’s newly unveiled Palace Cinemas complex, see Pioneer and DJ sounds’ Why We DJ.

With over 50 artists set to perform at EMCPlay in 2017, accompanied by special guests and exclusive cinema screenings, be sure to join the week’s overflowing schedule of up-and-coming electronic music with some of Australia’s most respected labels and crews.
