EMC PODCAST

As part of the 2019 Electronic Music Conference (EMC) festival, Discogs brought their famous Record Fair to Australia for the first time to The Factory Theatre Courtyard. Conceived by their desire to bring the record collecting community together, Discogs Record Fairs provide attendees an opportunity to buy/sell records, listen to music, and dance alongside those that share a deep passion for vinyl.

Discogs handpicked sellers from around Australia with a mix of genres for sale, ranging from Electronic music all the way through to Funk, Soul, Jazz and Beyond! 

Discogs Presents: EMC Record Fair featured a selection of DJs such as Aroha, Daniel Lupica, Merph, Sampology, Simon Caldwell, and Toni Yotzi who will be exclusively spinning records purchased from vendors at the fair making for one-of-a-kind sets followed by a brief Q&A with your host Barney Or Kato. 

With a special warm up b2b set by Rabbit Taxi and Garth Linton,  Discogs celebrates all vinyl-junkies, music fans an avid collectors and welcomed them to the EMC Record Fair. 

It was a great day of music, crate-digging and the first chance for our Australian Community members to turn up and connect.

Take a look inside Garth Linton's record bag and you're sure to find warm Soul and Synth driven gems with a creative kick. Paired with Rabbit Taxi's collection of lush, rolling 4/4 soundscapes, and dubby breakbeat textures, it's a ride you wont want to get off. These 2 provided us with a very special vinyl only b2b warm up set from 10am - 1pm at the first Discogs x EMC Record Fair. Full of chunky and funky hats claps and bass slaps. With a dollop of house and a dash of afro infused percussion it builds slowly and keeps a soulful mellow roll through out. Nearly 3 hours of wax cuts mixed with care by Garth Linton and Rabbit Taxi
