Daylesford Media Teknologists (DMT) was formed in 2008 to foster and encourage electronic music events, dj’ing and a different kind of genre scene for Daylesford and Hepburn Springs.

Since inception, DMT has supporting many celebrations, helped develop DJ skills for young people and provided entertainment for public events such as New Years Eve.

DMT wanted to have a festival that represented the sub-cultural diversity of its members, fusing various artistic and music forms with electronica as a core theme

bOunceFest features a diverse range of talent from Daylesford; its about fusing a variety of arts and cultural forms such as photography, dance and music through collaborations between local artists, musicians and our members. From the tease of Burlesque to the raw energy of up and coming youth band Reds Under the Bed, bOunceFest its a little like “Big Day Out” meets “The Cotton Club”.
