Do you love electronic muisc? Do you want to get to know some of Australia’s biggest rising stars on the EDM scene? Well Sydney’s Electronic Music Conference (EMC) is back for its fifth year and is bringing a stellar lineup with it.

EMC is all about bringing Australian music lovers together to take part in a series of panels, workshops and master classes that open the big wide world of electronic to the public. It includes talks from Mirik Milan (Amsterdam’s Night Mayor), Martin Phillips (Bionic League), Patrick Donovan (Music Victoria) and Raj Chaudhuri (Boiler Room) amongst many other.

But the activities just scratch the surface of what’s to come, there’s also a series of kick ass parties that will see Australia’s biggest rising electronic stars hit the stage.
