ONE MAMMOTH SATURDAY NIGHT 8 AT REVOLVER UPSTAIRS
It's now been four years since the very first installment of the 'One Mammoth Saturday Night' series and there's plenty of life left in the beast yet. We've seen some great collaborations happen at the event over the past seven shows and have been showered with positive reactions to the concept itself. This showcase-with-a-difference celebrates diversity in our colourful local hip-hop culture and brings together artists from all corners to meet and perform together on stage possibly for the very first time ever. For the uninitiated, 'One Mammoth Saturday Night' is not a battle, nor a competition, it's simply five rounds of spontaneous hip-hop for good time's sake. This time around, the event's creator Baddums invites members of the BreakinWreckwordz crew from New Zealand to join the bill alongside Herb Rock from Sydney and a cast of some of Melbourne's most talented MCs, turntablists and beatmakers. Add a few short live sets from Renovators Dream, Fubex and an all-in BreakinWreck posse session and this really is 'One Mammoth Saturday Night' of underground hip-hop. Hosted by MC Mantra(Illzilla) with Doc Felix('Top Billin' - 3RRR FM) providing some of the finest selections between rounds, this is one of the biggest nights on the Melbourne hip-hop calendar and the perfect way to round out a massive year in Australian hip-hop.
