    From Underworld Family to Strip Club Owner — Bar 20 Owner Michael Trimble

    Send a text Michael Trimble was born into one of Australia's most infamous underworld families. Related to Robert Trimbole, the drug kingpin made famous in Underbelly, and the son of the man who owned the legendary Daily Planet brothel, his life was never going to be ordinary. Today, he owns Bar20 — one of Melbourne’s most well-known strip clubs. In this episode, Michael tells his full story. From growing up with an infamous last name and being quite literally born in to the adult industry, to eventually running his own club, we go deep into the reality of the strip club business. We talk about the rules, the fines, how the money really works, what most people don’t understand about the industry, and what it actually takes to survive in it. Nothing was off limits. This is one of the most honest and eye-opening conversations I’ve had. — Subscribe for more real stories from the people who built Melbourne’s nightlife.

From DJing in regional Australia to throwing Social Club events that have become cult favourites, Jarrah shares the realities of running events in FNQ — the wins, the chaos, and the stories you couldn’t make up. Including the night a crocodile bit his mate at a party. Only in Far North Queensland.

    Born to Refugee Parents, Built Australians Biggest Latin Nightclub Empire | Jimmy Toro’s Story

    Send a text Before the sold-out clubs. Before the packed dancefloors. Before Latin music became a dominant force in Australian nightlife. This is the real story of Jimmy Toro. Raised in Western Sydney by parents who came to Australia as refugees, Jimmy grew up surrounded by resilience, sacrifice, and strong community values. What started as a love for music and DJing slowly evolved into something much bigger — building La Cueva, now one of the most influential Latin nightlife brands in the country. In this episode, we go deeper than the dancefloor: Growing up in a refugee family in Western Sydney Finding identity through music and nightlife The rise of Latin culture in Sydney & Melbourne nightclubs A community and culture many Australians rarely see This isn’t just about parties or promoters. It’s about heritage, hustle, and building something from nothing — while carrying the weight of family, culture, and expectation. Welcome to a side of Australian nightlife you probably didn’t know existed.

    How John Course Built a Legacy in Australian Dance Culture

    Send a text John Course is one of the true pioneers of Australian dance culture. From the late 1980s onward, John was at the forefront of shaping how dance music was played, shared, and experienced in Australia. Long before festivals dominated the landscape, he helped define an era where clubs were the heartbeat of culture, DJs were tastemakers, and records travelled through word of mouth, dance floors, and trust. In this conversation, John reflects on his journey from early obsession with music, to becoming a driving force behind influential platforms like Vicious Recordings, and how those moments helped push Australian dance music onto a global stage. We talk about: His early beginnings and lifelong obsession with music His impact on dance culture from the 80s through the clubbing golden era Favourite moments from decades behind the decks The evolution of DJs, clubs, and audiences And how he’s still influencing dance culture today, without chasing trends This isn’t just a look back — it’s a story about longevity, passion, and how real cultural impact is built over time.
