That's your Friday sorted.

If you missed BIGSOUND 2016 and are feeling a little sorry for yourself (you should — it has been awesome), not all hope is lost, as we've been on the ground and in the thick of it since Tuesday night's pre-parties and have a wealth of viewing for your pleasure.

Kim Gordon Keynote

When it comes to polemic, Gordon clearly remains someone who would rather let her actions speak louder than words, and there’s as much a lesson to be learned there as in anything absorbed directly over the duration of this fascinating verbal offering.

Jaddan Comerford (UNFD) Keynote

“As someone who started a business with nothing, at a young age and on my own, I want to encourage more people to follow their dreams."

UNIFIED legend Jaddan Comerford unveiled a groundbreaking music industry grant during his keynote.

Peanut Butter Wolf & J Rocc Keynote 

A keynote with Chris Manak, better known as Peanut Butter Wolf, and Beat Junkies’ J Rocc is like a sit-down at the back of a record store diggin’ through the Stones Throw crates dating back twenty years.

And then there were the panels picking apart and trying to make sense of the industry:
