DJ Pierre

Familia’s Day Of The Dead-themed second birthday also doubles up as the second edition of the night’s Back To Back Series, with two big names – DJ Pierre and Francois K – going head to head up on the Egg terrace. Meanwhile, down on the ground floor you’ll find Spain’s Cristian Varela, who makes his first appearance at the club for two years after kicking off the very first Familia bash.

One of the original producers of the 80s Chicago scene, DJ Pierre is a master of acid grooves and beats, producing some of the true classic house tracks, including the 1987 killer cut, Phuture’s ‘Acid Trax’. He’s joined by Francois K, former A&R manager for the Prelude label, who has DJed at seminal clubs like Studio 54, The Loft, and the Paradise Garage, where his disco edits made him hugely in demand. Still a big player on the New York house scene, check his 1995 track ‘Hypnodelic’.

As well as all that, up in the Egg’s Loft room, Abigail Bailey leads the charge with a DJ set featuring her own live vocals, alongside Headspace from Paravana & Swankys fame. Misfit are on the Garden Decks, and Familia residents Fabio Ferro, Ben Grunnell and Nick Tcherniakhold will get things moving on the ground floor.

Saturday 1 Nov, Egg, 200 York Way, Kings Cross, London N7 9AX, 10pm-11am, £13-£22. More info here.
