We know it probably feels like you’ve only just recovered from the last music festival you went to (even if it was a a couple of weeks ago) but you shouldn’t relax too much because the season is not over yet. This weekend, we’re gearing up for the annual Sugar Mountain Festival, set in the hallowed grounds of the Victorian College of the Arts. Like past years, the event promises to be an eclectic celebration of music, art, and food, with headliners including Little Simz and Spank Rock in the mix. And with so many different artists to witness, this Saturday will probably be the perfect time to open yourself up to a whole new array of sonic tastes. To avoid being too overwhelmed on the day, we asked one of Australia’s premier DJs and lovers of great new music, CC:DISCO!, to clue us in on her Top 10 acts to see at this year’s festival.

Check out our her choices below and plan out your day accordingly. We’ll see you at VCA.

01. SUI ZHEN

Get there early and see one of Australia’s most prized possessions, Becky is seriously one multi-talented woman. Her production, songwriting, voice, live show, DJing, artwork – the woman is next level.

02. ALTA

A local duo I was lucky enough to meet and hang with when we both played a festival in Croatia a couple of years back. They are still one of the only groups that makes me dance non-stop 4/4 and always leave me with sore as hell legs. Keep your eye for when Jules gets real into it, you just can’t take your eyes off him working out what the hell he is doing.

I had great time dancing to Beppe on the beach in Croatia last year. Lots of energy lots of amazing Italo sounds , yeah don’t miss this. He is a legend ay!

One thing we all know is locals do it better, right?  Daydreams will be a good example of this. Get there early, get around the lads who bring you that bloody amazing party …. Daydreams.

05. BABBA STLITZ

He was out last year at Lost Weekend and is back again to take on Boiler Room, great selector and DJ, def catch some of Babba.

Have only recently got into Big Scary but I’m about live music too.. and also those locals laying it down to make us proud.

07. MOOD II SWING

Huge booking right here, this will be something not miss at Boiler Room Stage.

This set will be the perfect one to get lost to, you know when you “accidentally” lose all your mates and go see something on your own. Do that to this, then make some new mates while you’re there.

09. JESSY LANZA

Really try and catch some of Jessy, feel like she will throw down a great live show. PERFECT for that arvo part where you really GET DOWN.

010. THE AVALANCHES
