About Castaway:
Castaway is the perfect cumulation of the very best things about living on the West Coast (the surf, the summer heat, the sunsets) and the best things about living in Australia (the awesome music scene, the great easy-going people, the appreciation for good times) and then rolls it all into one, incredible day on the shores of everyone’s favourite holiday hotspot.
Castaway 2016:
With two sold-out Castaways (attracting 10K patrons combined) already on their hands, the successful business partnership of Zaccaria Concerts & Touring (Icehouse, John Mellencamp, Bjorn Again) and Metric Events (Jack Rabbit Slim’s, Wonderland, Father) continues this February with a third instalment of the rollickngly fun one-day music event.
The time has come again to get your best Perth crew on board and turn it up at Thompson’s. Beers on the beach, seabreeze in your hair, sparkling blue waters, a stage backdropped by bobbing boats and a spectacular sunset. This summer 2016, Castaway Festival’s perfectly picturesque waterfront stage plays host to a selection of the most talented electronic producers working the scene in 2016.
THE LINE-UP
WHAT SO NOT ♦ GOLDEN FEATURES ♦ SABLE ♦ TINA SAYS
White-hot right now on the tail of his recent Gemini sophomore EP release, Sydney’s WHAT SO NOT brings his brilliant beach bangers to the West Coast. He has spent the majority of 2015 doing some serious world-conquering: crushing Coachella, Lollapalooza, Hard Summer, The Mad Decent Block Party and holding down tours of Europe, the States and Australia!
Destroyer of dancefloors, producer GOLDEN FEATURES is a hero of the Australian club scene. The man in the golden mask has won everyone over with his shadowy, sultry bass productions and mastery of dark dynamics – he knows how to make emotive electronic music like no-one out.
Speaking of waves, we’re hanging out to ride the ‘sound’ waves of producer SABLE when he drops his on-theme track, Surf, at Castaway Festival! After starting out on a saccharine beat tip with radio hit Feel So Good, in late 2015 this young gun a part of the Pilerats Records family let his alter ego escape; producing a darker, sinister yet still bass driven style as ‘Shadow Sable’.
With the power to rumble the waters of Rottnest and conjure up dark storm clouds in the sunny skies, Perth’s TINA SAYS is gearing up to blow us away at Castaway Festival with her electrifying mix of dark bass vibes, highenergy house, deep techno and slow trap beats including her very own original productions and remixes.
