DARWIN FESTIVAL: Hey DJ - A Hip Hop Party Jam

A body movin’ celebration that is part-education, part-nostalgic and all party!

Starring acclaimed DJ YO! MAFIA alongside talented MCs, vocalists and dancers, this is a celebration of hip hop’s best party jams throughout the years, inspired by the block party that started it all in 1973.

HEY DJ! is a hip hop party jam, taking you on an educational yet body movin’ journey through the streets of the Bronx to today’s global phenomenon. YO! MAFIA leads the charge with her 25 years of DJ herstory, joined by some of Australia’s top MCs and vocalists including Eliza Wolfgramm (The Avalanches) and master MC Mista Monk, plus incredible breakers, poplockers and hip hop dancers like legendary local breaker Triki and friends.

It’s time to celebrate the cultural phenomenon that has shaped music and society worldwide, as a voice for the voiceless and a catalyst for change. It’s time to ‘Get on Up’ and ‘Drop it Low’ to HEY DJ!

“Get a group together, claim your territory on the dance floor, and witness some excellent turntablism, dancing and MC work.”
