Think music videos. Think TV commercials. Think Winona Ryder floating up to the ceiling singing 'Shake Senora' in Beatlejuice. Now mix them and remix them. Scratch them like a DJ scratching samples. This is taking DJing to another level. This is live mixed electronic music you can watch. This is entertainment which suits a short attention span. This is an evening of visual addiction. This is Sampology. Sampology is Australian which means you're just as likely to see samples from Summer Heights High as you are a Michael Jackson film clip. You're going to understand the cultural references. You're going to see scenes you've all but forgotten from childhood tv series like The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. They'll be mixed in with music you can breakdance to. Even Peaches said that Sampology makes her want to breakdance! Peaches!!! Sampology will change the way you think about DJs. He's coming to the Northern, Friday 21st May. You can win a double pass by telling us your most favourite movie scene to dance to. Email your response to kate@getout.net.au by Thursday 20th. You've gotta be 18+ to enter and will need to show ID at the door. Winners are chosen at random and notified by email. Please include your mobile number if you'd like to be notified by SMS. Good luck!

The Stanton Warriors have long been Australian festival favourites, now here's a rare chance to catch them playing in Byron Bay.

True pioneers of a sound that broke all the rules, Stanton Warriors took breaks and twisted them beyond all recognition, dropping speaker shattering basslines and massive beats. They've produced and remixed the likes of Big Daddy Kane, Fat Boy Slim, Basement Jaxx and Missy Eliott - it’s easy to see why they are regarded as the number 1 heavyweights of breaks.

Joining them on the night will be Against The Grain’s top dog  Skool Of Thought, who coined the phrase 'heavyweight breaks' and has remixed Groove Armada, Freestylers and Pendulum.

Tickets are $38.50 +bf, on sale now from oztix.com.au or from the Northern.

If you and a friend would like your names on the door, answer this question: what kind of warrior are you?
Email your answer to kate@getout.net.au. Winner will be chosen at random, and notified by email next Tuesday. Please provide a mobile number if you want sms notification. Competition open to 18+ only, you will need ID at the door. Good luck!

"The Arabian Prince has been making robots shake their shit since the early '80s, producing his own tracks and playing live shows with The Egyptian Lover, World Class Wreckin' Cru and the LA Dream Team. It was his early electro rap experiments which got him some serious attention and respect from his L.A. contemporaries, and soon his innovation in the studio and dedication to the party led to him working with N.W.A. alongside Dr Dre." (quoted from the Red Bull Music Academy, watch a tutorial from Arabian Prince) We've got a double pass to give away for his gig at the Northern next Thursday. To win it, answer this question: what is Arabian Prince's alternate performers name?
