DEEP DIVE: Can underground bush doofs go legit?

Hack

About this episode

There's a group of young Aussies trying to make bush doofs legit. 

Doofs are massive with partygoers, but they're also known for pissing off the neighbours and giving local authorities a headache. 

Police and councils have been cracking down on doofs for years over noise complaints and public safety concerns. 

But what if you could actually get your bush doof approved? 

On the deep dive this week we hear from a group of young people in regional Western Australia who are determined to legitimise the doof.

So can you really turn the forest into a proper nightclub?

And what could that mean for Australia's live music scene? 

Guests: 

  • Dr Mike Callender, researcher in electronic dance music, RMIT University
