Premiere Australian house label, Hussle Recordings is notorious for touring thumping parties of unrivalled reputation. Over the past five years, Hussle has accumulated a back catalogue so rich that the world’s leading dance labels have turned into monsters of the green-eyed variety. Artists the calibre of Mylo, Green Velvet, Fedde Le Grand, Tonite Only, The Knife and The Similou have all found a home down under at Hussle, and have helped to shape the label into Australia’s leading imprint for all things house and electro.
While Hussle’s enormous collection of talent amplifies and escalates, the label continues to take its style and sound to the streets, touring nationally. This month Hussle will throw the mother of all parties at Family, staring three of the label’s major players: The Aston Shuffle, Klaus Hill, and Tommy Trash.
Associated production whores Mikah Freeman, Vance Musgrove and Ross McGrath assembled in 2005 to form the digital label project, The Aston Shuffle. After two years producing white hot remixes, The Aston Shuffle skyrocketed into prominence, smacking sounds a little electro, a little techno, and everything house.
Joining The Aston Shuffle at Family to inspire dancefloor chaos is London breaks scene force Klaus Hill. Fusing tough beats, booty house and sub bass, Hill creates an energetic and lively experience. With house, techno and breaks all in the bigman’s production armoury, a night with Hill is diversely mesmerizing.
To further gee-up the Hussle throwdown, producer, DJ and musician, Tommy Trash will bounce his brand of funky electro house fusions. With his signature jumping and head banging, Tommy Trash crafts sets entirely from his own originals, remixes and edits, giving party punters entrée to a unique clubbing experience.
Don’t miss these Hussle celebrities shake the soiree of the season, Saturday @ Family July 26th.

Renowned for its mind-blowing sound and ‘pyromaniac’ approach to visuals and lighting, Sublime showcases Australia’s best pure trance, hard dance, slamming breaks, and phat live beats.
Running every Friday at Sydney’s Home nightclub, Sublime’s passion for excellence has secured it a position as one of the world’s longest running weekly club nights.
In celebration of Sublime’s 12th anniversary the show is going on the road. This month Friday @ Family welcomes its southern cousin and a host of Sublime created superstars –Archie, Jumping Jack, Peewee Ferris and the Sublime Dancers – to Family’s Mainroom for one hell of a cross-state hard beats party.
With over 12 years experience and coming No. 9 in the Australian Technics DJ Poll, Archie has risen to top ranks of Australian DJs. Archie established a strong underground following by creating a unique blend of production talent and mixing skills. His trademark sound of Hard Trance and signature scratches have continually seen him playing alongside some of the biggest names in the business including Tiesto, Judge Jules, Moby, Black Eyed Peas, St Germain, Armin Van Burren, and Paul Van Dyk,
Joining Archie at Family for Sublime’s 12th Anniversary Tour is permanent fixture on the club and rave circuit, Jumping Jack. After almost two decades, vinyl junkie, DJ, producer, live musician, DJ instructor and radio announcer, Jumping Jack has developed a cult following amongst punters. His sets exude an eclectic mix of floaty house and storming techno, showcasing the flawless mixing talents and unique energy and charisma that he is renowned for.
Completing Sublime’s touring trio is one of Australia’s most influential DJs and producers, Peewee Ferris. As a bonafide legend within the Australian dance music scene Peewee has tripped the globe touring with The Prodigy, Moby, Daft Punk, The Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx, and Fatboy Slim; and has composed music for events the scale of the Olympic Games Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
Allow these three hard hitters to take you to a Sublime state, Friday @ Family July 25.
