Too Many Crews
20 minute sets. 20+ crews. A warehouse of chaos. Each DJ must mix from the last. No cuts, no buts. Closed by the great Andy Garvey (Pure Space, Canberra OG).
Witness the whole Canberra DJ community mixing up a storm. Old legends are flying back to share decks with emerging crews, an old-school MC will keep the dancers up to date on who's mixing and a cracking projection and light show will respond to every new track, every new genre, as awards are decided on who can mix the most. Reviving a party idea from 2013, when Literally Too Many DJs asked 20 DJs to mix 120 songs in two hours, this concept party has evolved into crew showcases where quick mixing is the game but anything goes.
The live music scene has often turned its nose up at our doof doof 'noise', and this is a tough time for the whole industry, so here's a little remedy: all the crews coming together to put on a warehouse party, where everyone is welcome.
