LOVE IT WHEN YOU WALK INTO A GIG AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’VE JUST STUMBLED INTO YOUR BEST MATE’S LOUNGE ROOM DURING AN IMPROMPTU PARTY? 

You get a sudden rush of excited energy, you feel comfortable, you know everyone (or you will by the end of the night), you’re familiar with all the secret stash spots, and the tunes are fan-fucking-tastic! But best of all- the vibe’s all Love because you’re surrounded by your people, the ones that really get you. That’s exactly the feeling we want to recapture at every Spaceport 2 event!

For those that don’t know Spaceport One was a magical place that existed for a short time only in the far away industrial lands of Marrickville in 2012. The people that manifested this space into being were of a different breed. They loved music, art and human relationships above all else- considering them far more valuable than anything money could buy. When people entered this sacred space they felt as if they were part of a Community that cared. The artists felt so comfortable they would often give the best performance of their lives. Everyone was free to participate as much as they wanted as the night would invariably erupt into an all out no-fucks-given open mic freestyle session finale. I miss the place dearly. 

But wait… could it be? Maybe if we really wanted it, we could recapture that energy! Spaceport 2 will be a fusion of the arts: sonic, visual, and tactile. It is Hip Hop focused but I think it goes without saying that Hip Hop itself dabbles into other genres at will. Hip Hop is wide reaching community with many different styles across Sydney, across Australia, and across the World. Yet in each of those styles is a point of commonality. We will strive to bring together like minded people who use Hip Hop to build communities, express their individuality and for positive social change. In other words: All are welcome (no dickheads).

-----BIOS---- 

===Cooking with Caustic===
Cooking with Caustic is an experience that needs to be felt rather than described. Physically, they are a 10 piece Hip Hop/ Groove collective from the Blue Mountains, Australia. But reading those words off the page does nothing to explain the sonic whirlwind that you will be thrust into upon first listen. 
The first thing that you will notice is that the instrumentals are thick. With beats/ keys/ percussion by Caustic, electric/ double bass by Jarv Benaud, Mark Brown on trombone and Stephen Noble on Sax as well as DJ Cost on the cuts, there's an intricacy to the music that is way beyond your typical Hip Hop dynamic. The sound is so diverse that it is equally the type of music you would listen to coming down on a Sunday as it is what you would put on to put yourself in the vibe to go out on a Friday night. 
The list of emcees that spit over these beats is a mile long and includes some of the best in Sydney Hip Hop- P.Smurf and Mikoen from Daily Meds, Madame Wu, EaRelevant and State Advanced of Broken Thought Theory, and Big Village emcees Mute and Tenth Dan. At the heart of the band's vocal line-up lie the diverse and soulful voices of Queen B and Blackjack Davey.

===Spectacles===
Veterans of Sydney's underground warehouse scene, Spectacles are a genre-bending live four-piece fusing drums, guitars, synths & samplers with melodic and lyrical vocals. 
If you must sum Spex up in a mouthful, it's art-rock, trip-hop-n'-roll.

===Otherside.===
Otherside is a boombappity hip hop krew that hail from some mountains in bumfuck nowhere (The Blue Mountains).

===Mighty ASH===
Mighty Ash is a singer songwriter from Sydney Australia.
His solo act blends a unique variety of funk, groove and old school Hip Hop into a fun and upbeat performance.
Mighty Ash has played in over twenty bands in all musical styles and is known for his broad influences, high energy and positive attitude painting a creative and colourful world.

===DJ Jimmy New===
Jimmy's a hip hop DJ, rapper and producer from Sydney's west and full time DJ for the group Hard Evidence.

===Mikoen (Visual Artist) ===
