SAMMY JO IS THE ANSWER

In 1997, DJ Sammy Jo took his first steps into a DJ booth at the legendary New York City nightclub "MOTHER" for his first ever nightlife venture. Expanding his playlist to include current dance music, Sammy Jo eventually met and collaborated with Jake Shears of the soon-to-be-formed SCISSOR SISTERS. The union worked so well, he was soon recruited as their official Tour DJ!

Since then Sammy Jo has been playing clubs throughout Europe on his own - creating a name for himself while also supporting the Scissor Sisters whenever they call on him. His solo ventures have brought him an abundance of good cred, especially amongst the mushrooming NY club kids scene, enabling him to share club nights with the likes of Fischerspooner, Princess Superstar, Junior Sanchez and Ron Carrol just to name a few. Drawing from all warps of the party sound, Sammy Jo flirts with the boundaries wherever he can and is most known for his criss-crossing between electro house and dark, danced-up disco.

So what on earth should you do after a massive day spent dancing in the sun? Saturday @ Family with Sammy Jo is the answer! Saturday 26th September 2009! See what Sammy Jo has to offer - click HERE to check out a DJ mix recorded LIVE @ Mr.Black NYC!

THIS IS GONNA BE DELICIOUS!

Saturday 19th September sees Saturday @ family play host to it's annual S.L.A.P. night, featuring it's first ever international act, Delicious. What is S.L.A.P. you say? S.L.A.P. is what you get when you combine some of the world’s sexiest DJs, dancers & performers with all things leather, lace, feathers and fur! S.L.A.P. is flirtatious, frisky and filled with debauchery. It's Family’s hottest and most enticing theme night, and it's guaranteed to tantalize your every fantasy. So SLAP on something sexy, leave your inhibitions at the door and get ready to experience a night of pure temptation.

Delicious by name and delicious by looks. This Danish duo of she-DJ's has been active on the club scene since day one and have virtually DJ'd at every venue and event in their home country Denmark. They've held residencies in France, Germany and Switzerland and played regularly all over Europe, as well been a part of the Privilege Ibiza club tour, a Robbie Williams Club tour and latest Pacha Tours in Germany.

They soon picked up producing and have released tracks on some of the biggest labels in Europe, but their biggest success to date has been with the release of their own track "Bounce" on British heavyweight label CR2. Picked up and supported by the likes of Pete Tong, Nic Fanciulli, Dubfire, Erick Morillo and Yousef, it's no wonder this track was hailed as one of the biggest tracks of Summer 08/09!

SHARAM - IT'S IN HIS BLOOD

DJ, producer, label owner - Sharam Jey from Cologne, Germany, is a real allrounder. His Dj'ing started out as a part-time gig but soon turned into a passion when Sharam discovered his love for house & techno in the early 90s. His name has become an international synonym for music that just can't be categorized. Uplifting Funky sounds? Grooving Minimal tracks? Breax? Narrow, departmental thinking is definitely not Sharam’s thing. Remixing for the likes of Moby, Mylo, Faith No More, Faithless, Salt N Peppa, Warren G, Shiny Toy Guns and many more shows just how diverse he is. His new artist album will see guest appearances from Princess Superstar, Tommie Sunshine, Brixx, Dacia Bridges and Cornelia. Already released off the album is the new single "In My Blood" featuring Nick Valentino (The Lost Valentinos). Check out the new single and much more in the mix below!

SHARAM JEY takes over Uncle, along with Jono Fernandez Saturday 12th September! Featuring on the same night we have Kid Kenobi & MC Shureshock in the Mainroom - giggity!

THE NAME'S CHARLES, JOHN CHARLES......

John Charles, JC Brennan, J to the C, J-Chizzle, Johnny C. Ok so maybe most of those are made up, but one thing that isn't is John Charles' ability to adapt in a chameleon-like fashion to almost any dancefloor that is put in front of him. He has been a club DJ for the last 5 years playing a long list of events and holding down a string of residences across Brisbane, but it's pretty safe to say that he's at home in Family's famous Uncle room. Scroll down a little further and you'll find a special present from JC - a mix recorded LIVE in Uncle last month. No editing, no touch ups. Just JC, you, and the music....get involved!

JERRY DREW - WELL TRAVELLED!

Jerry Drew has shaken the walls of some of the world's most popular venues. Ministry of Sound, Pacha, Movida, Es Vive, Turnmills, Nikki Beach, The Cross, Via Notte as well as many others have all given him standing ovations. Alongside many of the top dj's of that era, Jerry rocked the scene with a big entrance into the world's music clique, when he promoted and played at his own nights (Bubblicious and Vanity Fayre) in the early 90's.

Jerrys style is not confined to one genre and he has a liking for a varied range of record labels from the twisted sounds of Freak 'n' Chic, Tsuba and Cocoon, to the uber cool house of Wagon Repair and Buzzin Fly, which is reflected in his set.

For now, Jerry calls Brisbane home, laying it down in Family's much loved Uncle room each week. Click on the link below (or the picture above) to check out a recent mix from the man himself!
