WE LOVE HD VIDEOS.....AND STEREOSONIC

Well it's one of the most talked about festival lineups already and we are still 3 months out. Stereosonic 09 tickets are selling like wildfire so CLICK HERE to avoid spending the first Sunday of summer sitting at home being hot and sweaty, instead of sweating it out and dancing to the likes of AXWELL, FEDDE LE GRAND, THE BLOODY BEETROOTS, JOHN DAHLBACK, CROOKERS, SURKIN + MANY MORE!

Oh wait..........did we just forget to mention Deadmau5? He rocked the mainroom for the Good Vibes afterparty back in February and by the looks of the videos below he has only gotten better since. Check out these HD videos of the Mau5 smashing it at Radio 1's Big Weekend event in the UK and then prepare yourself because summer's on it's way........BRING ON STEREOSONIC 09!

FOR THE LOVE OF HOUSE..........

Coming up this Saturday night @ Family, Gold Coast Jackin' house giants Gunz B & Pauly K will be taking over Uncle to give Brisbane another taste of their collective.

We managed to get a couple of mixes from the boys and trust us, their sound pretty much sums up summer. So with the way the weather is now, all you need to do is turn up your speakers and press play!

I'M SORRY, WHAT MOTHERFU#%KER?

That's right people, Mr Sidney Samson is on his way to Australia riding the wave that will be the Clubbers Guide to Spring 2009! He's one of the DJ's at the forefront of the current Dutch House Invasion, along with the likes of Chuckie and Laidback Luke. The creator of the so-big-it-hurts Riverside, Sidney Samson has made some pretty big leaps and bounds in the past few months, but rest assured, he has got plenty more bouncin' big room bombs tucked away in his wallet. Check some of his other work out below!

Joined by legendary party monsters The Stafford Brothers, and indie-electro superstar Sam La More, this is set to be one of the best MOS compilations to date, and undoubtedly one Saturday @ Family that'll leave you begging for more. SATURDAY 5TH SEPTEMBER 2009 - BE THERE!

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!
