There are only a handful of Australian festivals that can arouse the kind of excitement that always surrounds Fuzzy’s Field Day, without a doubt the biggest New Year ’s Day celebration in Sydney, always bringing quality line-ups to our shores.

As we hit the second day of 2012, we take a look back at how hundreds of thousands of music fans around Australia brought in 2012 through a string of events on New Years Eve and New Years Day.

Two of the hottest properties in dance music, Calvin Harris and Example have joined French electro-maestros Justice on the Field Day 2012 line-up. Sydney’s best New Year’s Day party is further enhanced by the dubstep stylings of Modestep and a solid squadron of local stars including Flight Facilities, The Aston Shuffle , Cloud Control and New Navy.

It's not everyday you get to talk to a legend of the music industry, so it was quite the thrill to be given the opportunity to chat with the one and only Chuck D of Public Enemy last week.

Ahead of his Australian Tour, which includes a stop off at Field Day in Sydney with an exclusive Duck Sauce show, Layla Clarke chats with Montreal born, New York based DJ A-Trak.
