such acts such as Hermitude and Deepchild. This year’s Oktoberfest is as big as ever with five stages and over 20 acts, including: The Bang Gang DJ’s, local heroes 78 SAAB, Nick Toth, Coda, Infusion and Entropic, all spread over five stages. It’s the perfect chance to see some of the best in Australian music. The Gang Bang DJ’s are led by premiere Sydney DJ Ajax. Ministry of Sound described the act as ‘the dirtiest, skankiest, and downright sexiest twisted electro you’re ever likely to hear’. Entropic is a four piece, formed in 2002, specialising in everything electronic. With three albums under their belt, Entropic have been turning heads with their unique approach to dance floor music. Coda has been likened to Air or Groove Armada. They bring a unique blend of strings and electronica. After releasing three albums and playing the Big Day Out and the Peats Ridge Festival, Coda has become a local institution. It’s going to be a huge night of unstoppable fun. The UNSW Oktoberfest staff are prepared for the party of the year. Don’t miss it. When Oktoberfest is the biggest party in the world, why be anywhere else?
Oktoberfest will be held in the Roundhouse October 19 (this Thursday) from 4pm. There will be eight bars, five stages and more than 20 performers, covering dance, rock, hip hop and R ‘n’ B. Be there between 4pm and 6pm for your chance to win a $500 ANZ bank account. The first 200 entrants will receive free movie prizes. Entry is free for UNSW Source members.
