The Forty Five Kings are proud to present Shan Frenzie.

Host of the long running and legendary 'Groove Therapy' Radio Show out of Sydney, Australia and Co-Host of 'The Low End Theory' Radio Show with Dj Obliveus, Shan has been throwing down as a Dj and Presenter for a very long time and has carved out a name for himself as one of Australia's best DJs and music connoisseurs.

Shan says this about his mix:

'DJ Shan takes a far out trip to wowsville in the Doom Buggy, with a bag full of surf city freak beats, tiki-a-go-go, and vintage power pop 45s. Dig it daddy-o!'

That exactly sums up how we feel about this mix and I know for sure you're gonna dig it.

The Forty Five Kings are proud to present Dj Obliveus.

Hailing from Cali originally and now a long time Melbourne resident and now Australian Citizen, DJ Obliveus plays an infectious blend of all styles and has held down residencies at every major club night around Melbourne worth mentioning and now hosts a weekly radio show with fellow Forty Five King and good mate Frenzie on Base FM, NZ – The Low End Theory.

The pair started a 45's only label in 2018 called Juke Joints and he has an upcoming release on the 45 Fan Club label with DJ Mexi out of Oregon, USA. He’s also the head responsible for almost all of the donut parties in Melbourne Town, so get in touch if you’re coming down.

For this mix, he decided to run with all the house 45’s he’s accumulated over the years digging through op-shops, garages, school fetes and the odd new release or re-press, just so he could finally fit in the Henry Street Box Set he purchased years ago.

This one is definitely a labour of love!

The Forty Five Kings are proud to present Jim Sharp.

A 30 year veteran of the Dj game and a huge supporter of the 45 scene through his Djing, solo releases and as one of the heads of Dusty Donuts who has released a plethora of remixes and edits on 45 as well as running the amazing 'Wax On Wednesdays' live streams, that have featured some incredible guests and just plain dope interviews and insights into this game we all love,

Jim Sharp, a Canadian now based in London has put tougher a mix that is a combination of OG breaks, upfront soul, hip hop, b-boy breaks and exclusive remixes on dubplate.

This mix and the 45 format is why we do what we do! Help us spread the word about the greatest musical format there is, the 45!

Greg Belson’s Origins of Deep Funk – Forty Five Kings Mix – July 2020

The origins of the club night ‘Deep Funk’ were borne out of the coming together of essentially two separate club sessions that evolved in the early 90’s. Keb Darge’s ‘Humpty Dump’ located at the Leisure Lounge in Central London, and Greg Belson’s ‘Urban Soul’ at the Clarence Hotel in Surrey. The two DJ’s started trading ideas of a pivotal session after each had appeared as a guest at the other promoter’s night. The year was 1994 when the direction took shape for both Keb & Greg to work together on an all-encompassing funk event in London Town. Ideas were thrown around, guest DJ’s were talked about and venues discussed….Keb called the night ‘Deep Funk’, Ormonds was the perfect two floor venue to launch our initial concept, and the DJ’s were put in place to carry the night forward.

The inaugural night of ‘Deep Funk’ took flight on 27th January 1995.

These 45’s are just some of the records that made up the backbone of that first session….tracks that already had a grounding at ‘Urban Soul’ and ‘Humpty Dump’….at ‘Deep Funk’ however, they would go on to become classics within our scene.

Some 25 years later, they can be regarded as the ‘Origins of Deep Funk’.

The Forty Five Kings are once again to proud to present Eli, out of Tampa, Florida with his crazy good bag of 45s.

Eli has this to say about this mix:

'This is a "Cut and Paste" mix from my two hour Hip hop, Electro and Miami Bass opening 45 set at The Brooklyn To Tampa 5th Anniversary by my good friend Crazy DJ Bazarro and for the Headliners Masta Ace and Marco Polo. Hosted by Lite, Sip Saki Gorgeous K at the Crowbar in Ybor City.'

Last year he grazed us with a superb Reggae throw down and today he steps into his Hip Hop 45 collection and gives us another dope session.

Triple D has this to say about his mix:

'Before I got into Reggae, I collected Hip Hop on 12" in the early 90s. For the last 8 years I have tried to get these Hip Hop 12s on 45s.

Here's a mix of some of my favorite joints together with some new stuff I like!

Once again, enjoy the ride!'.

The Forty Five Kings are proud to present 2 all round good guys, djs and collectors, straight out of Australia, The Scorcher and Chuan with their 'Antojitos' Reggae mix.

The boys have this to say about their mix:

'Over the last few years The Scorcher and Chuan have been playing Reggae records on Friday nights at Antojitos, a great Mexican restaurant, located in Newcastle, Australia. We generally have a great time hanging out playing records, drinking beer, and eating tacos and burritos. Here's a small sample of the sort of tunes we play. All 45s, some custom made, some original, some old, some new!

This mix and these guys are yet another reason why we love the 45 format and consider it to be the best music format there is. You can feel the passion, imagine their dusty fingers and their utter joy at finding these 45s and playing them for us. Check their pic, those are pretty happy Djs!
