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!

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 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!
