As the Sydney Boiler Room line up is moments away, here are the DJs we want to see play Boiler Room Sydney.

Boiler Room will be taking over the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on December the 3rd. 

Boiler Room recently hosted a live stream as a part of Mode Festival, where only 1 Sydney artist was booked. The line up featured Anuraag, Crescendoll, Kia, Maara and OK EG. Boiler Room is also hosting an event in Naarm/Melbourne whose line up features Mall Grab, C.FRIM, Lady Shaka, Lakota, Pretty Girl, salute and Yung Singh.

Being so busy in so called Sydney and Australia recently there are a lot of acts that we've been pondering about dominating the stage. Here are some of the locals and interstate acts that we'd love to see perform.

Isa
Isa is one of so called Sydney's strongest selectors and most prominent community members. She's the brains behind promoter powerhouse and much adored party Athletica, which since its inception has been at the cutting edge of dance music innovation and is heralded for its amazing curation. Genre has no bounds for Isa, whether behind the decks or curating a party, with their selections ranging from broad heavy hitting club beats, to turbo edits or warm R&B cuts.

SOLLYY
SOLLYY is a pioneer in Australian music. Having produced for some of Australia's most exciting emerging talent, SOLLYY is what many would call, tapped in. On the original front, SOLLYY is at the forefront of blending together the worlds of dance music and hip hop music, bringing together two worlds that have often been divided in so called Sydney. Take for example his recent cut APPLY THE PRESSURE with Zion Garcia or any of his Soundcloud edits. He also hosts party, HOTTER OUT WEST, a platform for artists and DJs from the West of Sydney, who do not often get slots in the city to perform. SOLLYY is a dance music and DJing titan, everyone's sleeping.


Mike Who
Mike Who is one of so called Sydney's best mentors and best DJs. Hosting events and one of Australia's best record labels in Planet Trip, Mike Who is one of those DJs who has a distinct sonic palette, pioneering and hosting the sound across Australia. Mike Who proudly wears and platforms balaeric beats, street soul and warm house in his amazing DJ sets and even better parties.


Ayebatonye
Ayebatonye knows how to get people moving like absolutely nobody else. From abrasive techno to minimal trance to unadulterated club sounds, Ayebatonye weaves through rhythm like nobody else. A stalwart in Australia's dance scene and one of its most in demand names, Ayebatonye is a community leader and legend in the truest sense of the word. She deserves to be showcased as such as she is the embodiment of everything amazing about our scene.


Crybaby
While all of our picks had been from so called Sydney, if the festival ventures across the state borders, Crybaby would be our pick. Quite simply, she's one of the sickest DJs out, known for bouncy rhythms and genre bending, not allowing anything getting in the way of making a crowd move. From hosting large scale events under PL Sounds to dominated her own sets across the country, her sophisticated, experimental palette is unlike no other. 


Kilimi
Kilimi is a the type of DJ that exclusively deserves headliner slots. From her Sunsets radio slot on FBi Radio to her rapid DJing style, Kilimi will make any DJ set sound like the best house party ever. From soul classics, coming of age early 2000s R&B cuts to contemporary hip-hop edits, Kilimi importantly leaves nothing behind while ensuring everyone on the dancefloor is smiling in delight.
