After a gruelling 3 months of competition, over which we have seen some of the finest artistic talent in Sydney scale the scaff to smash out their expression on the walls of Name This Bar, ArtBattles Australia culminates in the Summer Series Grand Final this Thursday night!
Wild card Naomi Van Anen is set to shake the bones of the formidable Taryn Culbert in what is set to be a showdown of epic proportions & awesomeness.
This time around the artist have been given free reign to express themselves as they choose, so without the constraints / guidance of a theme, get down to NTB on Thursday night to see what the girls come up with in their attempt to win the series & take home the $1000 prize money, $250 Lightsounds gift voucher, $180 pair of shoes from Tiger Beer Australia & Tiger Onitsuka, a bottle of VodkaO + more!
Join your hosts Simon Mercier & More TBA from 8pm on Thursday night to witness us crowning the winner of Artbattles Australia Summer Series!
Let the games begin!
LightSounds has been a Sydney dance music staple for as long as we can remember, but the big yellow rickety building on Parramatta Rd is no more, as the LightSounds crew settles in to it’s big new showroom at 459a Canterbury Rd., Canterbury. To celebrate their awesome new home, the LS crew are throwing a huge showroom party. Come down for a look – see around the brand new store. Come check out their lighting demo room, test run some new audio products and hear tunes from some of Sydney’s finest DJ’s including Nik Fish, DJ Playmate, DJ Ravine and DJ KoBuKi. There’ll be prizes given away every hour, Double passes to Ivy nightclub to be won and great deals on DJ and lighting gear with a $250,000 stock clearance, so if you’re looking for a bargain, this is your day! Plenty of parking available on site, drinks, sausage sizzle and lots of cool shit to check out.

Gemini’s FirstMix is a compact and easy-to-use DJ interface tool to learn the skills of programming and performing, connecting straight into a PC or Mac – while using the songs from your own iTunes library. FirstMix even looks the business, employing the classic set-up and style of two decks and a central mixer, its comprehensive feature set will let you explore the basics of digital DJ-ing in a relaxed and natural way with the “feel” of vinyl. Learning the concepts like beat matching and tweaking bass and treble for individual tracks will come naturally. With its preview and reverse functions, 2-band EQ, and a variety of built-in effects, FirstMix will take the budding star on the decks from the bedroom to an audience in quick smart time.
MixVibes’ U-MIX DJ SET is a DJ solution comprising high quality headphones, a USB soundcard with external audio “out” for monitoring and full DJ software. This is the perfect kit for everyone willing to start DJing with the computer’s mouse & keyboard or even better with a DJ MIDI controller for a reasonable price. Perfectly compatible with FIRSTMIX!
