Announcing the debut of the twice-yearly BC/DC RECORD FAIR in Brisbane.

BC/DC stands for the Brisbane Crate Diggaz Co-Op, a group of like minded record enthusiasts who are working towards a greater good for music in this city.

The fair is to be held on the same day as Weird Gear in APRIL, which is Sunday the 25th. You should be there if you're a vinyl head already!! But if you haven't checked it out by then, this is your chance...

The event kicks off at 3pm. And dealers will stay until 7 or 8pm. It's FREE entry, and it's a late start, so roll through whenever, it will be chill, no frantic diggin'... browse at your own leisure, in the comfort that is the RUMPUS ROOM. Portable turntables will be supplied with headphones, so if you need to listen, the gear is there... just bring yourself, your duckets and your mind.

The dealers at the fair are hand-picked because they are experts in their own field.... we will only be selling hip-hop, jazz, funk, prog/psych rock, soul, disco and food for the SAMPLERS...

All dealers come from a hip-hop/diggin' perspective and you can ask for what you need... Any requests for certain records or artists, please post them here and the crew will check it out and try bring stuff of that vein... lots of drum breaks, loops, rap singles, hip-hop records, etc. to be found. There will be cheap records, and there will be expensive records. But all of it will be priced reasonably, not eBay or popsike prices.

Elefant Traks are proud to announce Horrorshow's first national headline tour in February-March 2010.

The buzz around Horrorshow is staggering: they've swept up everyone from triple j kids to purist hip hop heads and indie hipsters. Their new album Inside Story was triple j Album of the Week and their joint launch with Urthboy sold out the Metro Theatre in Sydney.

The evocative brand of earnest, ego-free hip-hop announced by their debut album The Grey Space, earned them an ARIA nomination for Best Urban Release. Coupled with acclaimed recordings is their growing reputation for explosive live shows, most recently winning over a swag of new fans during 25 shows (over 7000 payers) on the Spitshine Tour.

If you're talking hip hop, Horrorshow are a group to watch.

INDEX is set to finish the year on high with one of the most exciting new talents in electronic music today, the Warp Records man of the moment, CLARK. With comparisons made to the mighty APHEX TWIN, Clark has been turning heads for some time and his most recent album "Totem’s Flare" has been widely touted as one of dance music's records of the year.

The unique sound that CLARK has demonstrated that he’s the primary torch bearer amongst a new generation of artists who continue the vision that Warp was built on. Making innovative and boundary pushing electronic music that is difficult to replicate, CLARK's arsenal of beats will complimented by what is a killer local support lineup.

Local WARP Records artist HARMONIC 313 has promised something special for his last appearance at VOID party for 2009. With a recent release on KODE 9's, HYPERDUB label and one forthcoming on MALA's, DEEP MEDI MUSIC, Mark is one artist who is also making massive waves internationally.

WHAT IS MUSIC? FESTIVAL 2009
EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC FESTIVAL
PRESENTED BY WIM Inc
http://www.whatismusic.com

What Is Music? is Australia's longest-running and prestigious experimental music festival.

It began in Sydney in 1994 as a platform to expose unusual contemporary musical forms that were unknown to the general public, and has continued that tradition throughout the years of its expansion, presenting a cutting-edge and spectacular snapshot of modern sound culture.

This year will see further exploration of the world of large-scale new instrument design, as well as the sonic extremes it is known so well for.
