  • OutsideIn, a new Sydney festival, will take place at the Factory Theatre this November. The event is the brainchild of management and touring agency Astral People and local record label Yes Please, both of whom have been focussing on young, cutting edge electronic and indie talent both here and abroad. The inaugural festival will feature a variety of local and international acts, including left-field bass artist Dro Carey, Warp Records duo Africa Hitech, thriving Sydney artist Flume and Harlem rapper Smoke DZA. Also confirmed are two of Ghostly International's more recent additions: the prolific Shigeto and Melbourne-formed, London-based band HTRK. Goodgod Small Club will also be in charge of curating the festival's outdoor stage, bringing their trademark tropical sounds. Second and third announcements are still to come. The first edition of OutsideIn will take place on Saturday the 10th of November. A total of three stages will be set up at The Factory Theatre in Enmore, including the outdoor area, where the music will play from 3:00 PM onwards.
