Alison Wonderland to give keynote speech at EMC, with more names added to EMC Play line-up

Between two rather-large speaker line-ups, an EMC Academy line-up including some of Australia’s biggest production names and, of course, the already over-flowing EMC Play line-up, this year’s Electronic Music Conference is already a big one. Yet, not quite content with what they’ve already announced thus far, the annual event has announced another truck-load of names to speak and perform across this year’s two-day conference and following parties.

Joining names like Mirik Milan (Amsterdam’s Night Mayor), Raj Chaudhuri (Boiler Room), Nina Las Vegas and Nic HP (Majestic Casual) from the previous two lists of speakers is Alison Wonderland, who will be giving a keynote speech that’s set to cover her growth from small-time local DJ to an artist international promoters are fighting over. Also announced, includes representatives from label power-house Falcona, SONY, Warner, Ministry of Sound, Spotify, Pandora, JUNKEE and even your pals Pilerats.

In addition to this, another whole bunch of names have been added to the official EMC Play bill, which will be joined by a whole heap of unofficial EMC showcases during Sydney’s buzzing week of electronic entertainment. Sweat It Out signee Dena Amy leads the charge, which also includes Herzeloyde, Swindail, Tobacco Rat, SINIQ and Tashka. Further EMC showcases and parties are to be revealed next week, but house guns Medium Rare Recordings have jumped the gun to announce a label showcase including Benson, LO’99, Terace and Torren Foot – to give you an idea of what to expect. Grab your second release EMC Pro, EMC Academy or EMC Play tickets HERE before the conference kicks off at IVY Complex come November 28.
