After the hugely successful Melbourne Laneway on the 25th of Feb, Uber Lingua's presenting a stage at the Sydney laneway fest on March 4th... 

Here's the hype... 

Uber Lingua DJs play trans-cultural party music from all corners of the globe. Pulling from their vast archive and network of sounds from almost every corner of the planet they drop alternative international sounds such as baile funk, bhangra, dancehall, reggaeton, Baltimore, kuduro, latino and balkan beats with electro, rock, hip hop and all other genres from regions less travelled. Expect to travel the globe and experience the world's languages while you dance yer ass off.... 

Renowed for their weekly events in Sydney and Melbourne, Uber Lingua runs the longest running night at St Jeromes in the back alleys of Melbourne, celebrating diversity and building a network of culturally diverse DJs and other performers in the process.

Uber Lingua DJs at Sydney Laneway Festival : Saunday 4th of March

Sydney's Uber Lingua DJ lineup at the Laneway fest has some of the city's most diverse music selectors mixed with a few MCs, two percussionists and a few imposters from Melbourne! 

Mashy P is originally from the UK, and has been connected to the free party movement the whole time. He has a comprehensive collection of trans-lingual bootlegs, mash ups and his own digital concoctions that blow minds. Long time collaborator bP returns to his home town from the Victorian capital to join forces with Mashy with an equally exotic collection of sonics gathered from every nook and cranny he can get into... The two perform a spontaneous free-form sound system oriented wall of sound that in this case will incorporate Flatmax, a Yiddish MC, and Ortiz Pinto from Melbourne on Portuguese Vocals, effected laughter and Brasilian percussion. Ortiz will do a cruisey DJ set also during the day. 

Post-Scottish DJ Stu Buchanan is a central member of the Uber Lingua Sydney posse and is the long time host of 'Fat Planet' on radio station FBi. Stu will play his trademark mix of up beat urban-international styles including Baile, Kuduro, Dub-step, Baltimore and Euro-Krunk to name a few...  DJ Sheerien, a fourth-generation Australian Punjabi, recently returned from an extended trip overseas that saw her venture thru China and her motherland India on the way to the UK, where she continued her on going relationship with the highly active UK Asian massive. She's sure to have a solid selection of brand new (and some un-released) tracks... 

Ollo are a well known Sydney electronic act and moonlight as Ollo DJs. When they play with Uber their cultural heritage rises to the surface and the Germanic tendencies lead them to play a selection of music not often explored... the 'Neue Deutsche Welle' is basically Germany's answer to new-romantics... quite electro, very raw, a little trashy, lotsa fun... Chaman represents the Sydney alternative Latin scene and is of Argentinean background... A global reggae and dub specialist, he's a member of 7 piece Sydney act 'Social Progression System' who are doing considerable damage at the moment round the traps. The energetic MC Hernan, one of the vocalists in SPS joins his comrade on the Uber Lingua stage at the laneway fest. Panamanian percussionist Mario Gordon flies up from Canberra to join this duo. 

Panika is a folk musician by day, a laptop based Aussie-MC by night and an Uber digi-DJ once the clock strikes midnight! Her recent set at the 'St Jeromes Gypsy and Balkan Bash' brought the house down and earned her this spot on the Sydney Laneway stage. 

here's what happened in Melbourne...
