Brisbane dance music history — straight from the source.

In this episode of What’s the BPM?, we sit down with Brisbane legend DJ Peter Mogg for a deep dive into the 1990s rave scene, early underground parties, and how Brisbane’s electronic culture was built from the ground up.

We talk Arena raves, Creation, Adventjah, and the nights that defined a generation — when flyers ruled, bass bins shook the walls, and the scene was powered by community, not clicks.

Peter reflects on his iconic 20-year radio show Crucial Cutz on 4ZZZ, its influence on local DJs, producers, and club culture, and what it was like broadcasting underground dance music long before streaming, social media, or algorithms existed.

If you lived through the rave era — or wish you had — this is a rare, first-hand account of a scene that shaped Brisbane’s electronic music identity.

Essential listening for DJs, ravers, radio heads, and anyone who cares about proper dance music culture.
