Listen Out has expanded their already impressive 2014 lineup with the addition of local acts who will take the Red Bull Crate Diggers Stage in all states and deliver sets based on a specific era in dance music history.
Promising an “adventure in musical palaeontology”, the Red Bull Crate Diggers Stage will return after a successful stint in 2013. DJs on the lineup have each chosen a style or time in dance music and will be set the task of bringing it back to life via the time honoured DJ pastime of “Crate Digging”.
Featured sets include Joyride in Sydney, who has chosen to tackle 90s r’n’b and hip hop, Shaddow Brothers in Perth who will play Deep House, Edd Fisher who will play Electroclash in Melbourne and Thomas Prime and Jazzy Jaff who will light up decks with “hip hop gr80s”.
Yesterday it was announced that West Coast rapper YG, best know for his 2013 hit My Nigga, will no longer be appearing at the upcoming festival. Organisers have also promised two replacement acts to be announced in coming weeks.
Jackson was slated to appear alongside Australian heroes Flume and Chet Faker, as well as Four Tet and fellow West Coast hip-hop talent Schoolboy Q. See the full Red Bull Crate Diggers Stage lineup as well as the Listen Out 2014 lineup below.
