Big Village Xmas Party
It's the party of the season. It's one of the days that I look forward to all year. You already know the music will be incredible, that's a given. You'll be surrounded by your favourite people, and you can really let loose cause Tis the Season! The Big Village fam are a really open and loving bunch, since I came to Sydney they were one of the first crews that I really connected with. Both as fabulous people, and musically.

It's going to be one wild and crazy night that will surely kick on into the next day.

The Chop
It's been one year that this innovative night has been going. It's a celebration of the person that we seldom celebrate, and yet if they didn't do their thing then the music we enjoy would not have the same character and influence: it's the beatmaker. On these nights we celebrate Sydney beat makers with a live performance. No hiding here, the beats are live and direct. This sessions beats will be brought to you by Mumbles and Ink Stain. And as a special treat on this fabulous celebratory night, the one and only Boogie Blind will be there showing off his mad skills. That's Pharoahe Monche's DJ also from the X-Ecutioners/ X-men.

SYD DEF JAM
Every few months or so now Sydney Def Jam breaks out and does a club night, so that their breaker friends can really get down and dirty. If you love the park and the beach parties that they throw, you will love this version as well. The drinks may be more expensive than the park, but what can you do, you're paying for the lovely atmosphere. This one goes OFF, so be ready!

Vent
Have you been naughty? Or have you been nice? This night breaks out of it's traditional Friday spot to give you one day of hangover relief after Xmas before you get right back into it. It's a night that we love which gives the opportunity to up and coming artists to preform in a secure and supportive environment. They love hearing new sounds and supporting dope flows. This time around we see Versatile Excel, Corner Store Super Heros, Juxta, Mickey Deville, and Kovacs take the mic. As always the night will finish with an open mic cypher where you can really bring the skills if you've got them! (yes that's a challenge.)

Graff artists will be there doing their thing to beautify the space early in the day and we will all get our dance on and kick on into the night time with the sounds of the DJ duo Lazer Gunne Funke and also Finehouse from Brisbane. The boys have got this kicking on all over the country now, let's not let them forget that Sydney is where the real party is at!

Field Day
This isn't a strickly Hip Hop night as you know but it's a yearly festival that brings together hip hop, house, electro, and indie artists from around the world. This year's hip hop artists might intrigue and entice you though, if festivals is your thing. They've got Danny Brown, Joey Bada$$, Salt-n-Pepa (wha?!), and also locals Thundamentals and One Day crew. It's certainly worth getting out of the house for if you're not too hungover.
