What’s better than one room of Candee Flip? Why two of course! 😀 The spring fling edition this year bloomed a second room of house-ier tunes edging into the 2000s but all still on vinyl and with an extended close time! What more could you ask for?!

The year is 2000 and something and the Moonbar or Family is having an absolute cracker with a headliner slinging out the one genre that brought all the other genres together, breakbeats! Fast forward a couple decades, some of the dancefloor moves might be a bit laboured but the love, fun and good times are still unmissable and unbeatable! If you missed out, my condolences, if you went, also my condolences to your livers and heads!

No Scrubs @ Lala Land 17/4/22
The No Scrubs crew made a return to LaLa for a trip down memory lane, for some, the rest of us still live there! Its marketed as 90s and early 2000s but this edition had alot of late 2000s and a couple 2010 hits, either way the outfits were still questionable and good times were had by all!

Alot of mixed emotions for the final month of a Brisbane institution in the Rumpus Room closing down parties, so many fond memories that could only be sent off with a proper rinsing from the Junkyard Sesh crew! Check out the madness in the full gallery below! 😀

WOW! What better way to ring in the new year than with a music festival! Remember those? Me neither! But the window of opportunity was open, DJ legends of the scene were on the decks and as expected the crowd was more than up for it!

Candee Flip @ Lala Land 16/10/21
Times have been tough for everyone lately with so much unpredictability but its reassuring there’s always the beacon of hope in the form of Candee Flip! A haven where you can cast your mind and feet back to a time where the biggest concern was what song will be played next!
The CF crew have laid claim and fully settled into their new venue at Lala Land with the perfect mix of indoor and outdoor rooms and atmosphere. Even better is they’re locking in three gigs a year now so we only need to wait till Jan 15 for the next one! 😀
Till then, check out the extended highlight photos below and pop over to the soulbridge media facebook page for more socials 😀

Oi Racecourse markets
There are several large markets around Tokyo though depending on time of year, day and location, they can be cancelled with little notice so its always good to have alternative options up your sleeve. A lesser known one but one of the biggest is held in the car park of the Oi Racecourse.
Getting there: there is a direct line from Tokyo station to Tachiaigawa station. After that, its about a 15min walk.
From the station there are small lanes with a scattering of quaint shops which lead out to major roads where its easy to follow the trickle of people coming and going from the venue.
The carpark is mostly covered which makes it far more pleasant during the sweltering July heat. For those from Brisbane, I liken them to the Rocklea markets due to the vendors covering both end of the markets scale from small businesses with quality products and marketing to the Marie Kondo mum that grabbed the junk drawers and the kids toy box and poured them on to a tarp. Due to this wide variety, there are bargains to be had and there is a lot of stuff you simply wont normally see about.
Travel tip: while quite large its still possible to cover the whole venue in an hour or 2 walking at a slow amble even with a modest sized crowd
Travel tip: food and toilets are on site

Meguro Mipig Café
There wasn’t much we wanted to see in the Shinagawa area but to make the trip to the markets worthwhile we chose to take a slight detour to Meguro for the Mipig café on the way back. If you weren’t planning on venturing out that way, don’t fret, there are several mipig locations across Tokyo (:
Getting there: From Tachiaigawa station, change at Oimachi station then on to Meguro station or you could easily make the trip via Shibuya station if you’re coming from any other direction. From Meguro station it’s a direct route along Meguro dori Ave. however due to a couple steepish hills, the walk can feel a lot longer even though its under 2km. Being on a major road, there are however frequent buses if you want to save time and effort.
The Meguro location is a small two level store with reception area downstairs and the petting room upstairs via a small narrow staircase.
Travel tip: you must purchase a beverage on top of the session fee. Your order is taken once you’re seated.
Most people sit on the floor as chairs are limited, after the drinks are delivered the pigs are released and are free to roam the room. Don’t worry if they don’t initially come to you, the handlers will lead them to everyone for a chance to pet and hold at least one. The pigs are very tame, friendly and inquisitive but they are still pigs with hooves so take care if you have any exposed skin.
Travel tip: there is no food for the pigs, you can not feed them and you must remain seated for the session.
