After 16 years of reaching for the lasers, dancing on podiums, everything from hardcore to DnB to RnB in the pod, warm water taps and crammed cuddles in the furry egg, Family finally ended its reign as one of Brisbane’s prolific clubs and has been reincarnated as Ei8ht. Having spent so much time dancing and photographing there it wasn’t an easy task to trawl through the mountain of photo archives… so I didn’t :p Instead, just cherry picking a handful of the biggest most memorable events that have photographic evidence.
2003 – DJ Craze
2004 – UNKLE
2006 – Bass Australia
2007 – Gatecrasher
2008 – 7th Birthday w/ Nick Skitz
2009 – Ferry Corsten and Giuseppe Ottaviani
2009 – Trance Nation w/ TyDi
Farewell Family, gone but not forgotten! …well except on those nights where we can’t remember what happened.
Candee Flip @ Capulet 11/2/17
Couple weeks ago Candee Flip dragged out the vinyl once again for the nostalgic 90s rave experience. This year they celebrate a huge milestone, 10 years of bringing the reminiscent tunes for carving up memory lane. The intimate new venue, Caputlet proved perfect for the event which not even a sweltering heat wave pushing 40C could deter!

It’s all happening this week, we’re taking over the mag! Ok so it wont change to a comic format with reviews on sneakers, toys and watches but we do put more of our grubby finger prints over it than usual starting with the front cover shot of The Cairos as well as the nabbing those harping groovers The Flumes for “The Guide” section cover, and finally we head out to Ellement Lounge for a drum and bass double header with half of New Zealand outfit, The Upbeats and reunited live DnB dynamic duo, Silent Shadow! Highlight photos of that gig below.
On top of all that The Music mag has launched a new app for iOS and Android and is already one of the top three apps for gig guides!
Check it all out in this week’s issue of The Music (Brisbane) #045.
Get it FREE from all the usual street press outlets, read current and back issues online @ The Music magazine – Brisbane or download the app from iTunes and Android.
