House Music in Cairns

Went around looking for some good clubs/bars/pubs for House music in Cairns. Found a place called "Inbox Cafe" where the DJ (Psytron) was playing some funky, deep house tunes. Stayed there for about an hour. Nice setup consisting of Technics 1210's and a few Yamaha speakers going around the bar. It was an internet cafe + bar + cafe with some friendly staff. The day before I left for Melbourne we went to a nightclub called 1936. The resident DJ was playing a combination of RnB and Commercial House (my my my, push up, four to the floor, like a prayer etc.). The PA system there was amazing!! Some of the lights were controlled by the DJ but the smoke machines kept going on and off -- not sure who controlled those or whether they were timed. Had a drink and headed back to the hotel to leave for Melbourne the next morning :-(

Replacement @ Lustre Lounge

Had another DJ replace me at Lustre because I had to go to Cairns for a week. There was an engagement party on at Lustre on the night and they absolutely needed a good DJ that plays 70's 80's funk based music! I'm lucky I wasn't playing. Looks like he played some good music, met most requests, and had some fun doing it. He was a bit surprised that there weren't any 'monitor' speakers to listen to yourself mix more closely and recommended it to the bar staff. Hope they consider it :-)
