Hey yo spaceheads…. Be sure to prepare your spaceships as we beam you back up once again! 

If you’re a Spaceport veteran then we welcome you back with open arms! If you’re soon to be a first timer well you’re in for a treat….. 

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 with Spaceport 2.

Spaceport 2 is 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).

The BeatLab
The BeatLab is Sydney's Phattest Funk/Hip Hop Improv Collective, bringing fresh grooves to Sydney's Streets. Primarily a core 4 piece band of Clarinet/Sax, Trumpet, Bass and Drums they perform alongside a diverse mix of rappers, vocalists, keyboardists and whoever they find along the way to create an eclectic mix of jazz/hip-hop/dance and funk, inspired by the moment and the movement. The BeatLab has been a staple of Sydney’s street performance scene since 2015 with 1000s of people dancing to The BeatLab all over the city of Sydney. As a collective they have been featured at events around Sydney including the recent #keepsydneyopen rally in aid of the lockouts. A must see if you wanna get your feet moving. Be prepared for audience interaction and Spaceport style impromptu artist collaboration.

Oven Fresh Beats
The band is comprised of 5 members Steve Allison (drums / percussion), Matt Lamb (Double bass), Takeshi Kawabata (Piano / Keys), Patrick Tolhurst and Jack Tempest (Vocals). 
Most members having originated from the jazz and blues scene in Sydney have garnered themselves critical acclaim through diligently playing shows at places like The Basement, The Vanguard and The Sydney Opera House alongside the likes of True Vibe Nation, Future Love Hangover and Samuel Dobson. Oven Fresh draw inspiration from the likes of The Roots, A Tribe Called Quest, J-Dilla and Bobby Timmons. 
It is Boom-bap, It is Hip hop, It is Live, Large and Loud. This is music to dance to, to chill to, to love, cry and cook to. 
It is Oven Fresh.

Billie Rose
