12 NEWS FRIDAY MAY 11 2018 CAVE01Z01MA - V1 WIDE Open Space went off with a bang last weekend, as festival goers were treated to an eclectic mix of artists, musicians and workshops at Ross River. Local rappers Skank and Shake got the crowd moving their hands on Friday night, with a big chunk of the audience shouting out the words to most of their songs. Regurgitator played a sharp, punchy set, littered with classic tracks from their early records. Joined by the local pop choir for their last tune, the stage was jampacked full of smiling faces. The next day people flocked to the pool party. Large platters of fresh fruit were handed around as hundreds of dressed-up dancers boogied by the small (and increasingly soupy) body of water. DJ Jezzas selection of the Fatboy Slim classic, Praise You, went down a treat with all in attendance. For those who werent yet ready to dance, there was a basketweaving class, a percussion workshop, a facepainting opportunity, and more available at the main festival hub. Later that night, Melbournes REMI had put together a smart and super smooth hip-hop performance. Supported on stage by 1200 Techniques Nfa Jones, the two rappers spat out rhymes with ease, exchanging verses over the top of Sensible Js laid-back beats. Sydney band Haiku Hands got everybody dancing with a seemingly endless supply of highenergy electro-pop bangers. They had big attitude to match their big tunes. DJ Cam Scott triumphantly closed out the Saturday night in the red room, with some assistance from a mystery selector of considerable prowess. On Sunday, Tamala Express Wide Open Space was a rollicking good time. Centralian Advocate reporter JACK PRICE was among the many revellers that attended the festival, against the backdrop of the majestic East MacDonnell Ranges.
