DJ SARAH LOVE (UK) | Sarah Love is without question the most recognised and respected female entertainer on the UK Hip Hop scene since Monie Love.

The Sarah Love brand became mainstream knowledge the world over when she began her weekly BBC Radio 1Xtra broadcasts and on screen presenting for MTV Base. She used these platforms as a vehicle for true Hip Hop with no prejudice to which country it is recorded in, and endeared her a wider audience and opened up opportunities to once again work with old friends and family.

From the Deal Real Records (original Deal Real!!) and Kung Fu eras of British Hip Hop and further, she opened up a path to work as a sort of special envoy for Hip Hop worldwide and maintains good relationships with the legends and stalwarts of the American scene from Grandmaster Flash to Souls Of Mischief to The Roots, KRS One, Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan and many more.

Many female DJs have fallen off or never even got noticed in the mans world that is DJing, but Sarah has a substance and technical ability high above many men on the 1′s and 2′s, and does what she does without having to bark on about not just being a pretty face. This is why she's garnered a respect throughout the worldwide Hip Hop community that has her jet-setting around the planet.

DJ GIAN ARPINO (Tan Crackers Soul Club) put together this dope 'BLACK WAX' Christmas SOUL mix back in 2012 featuring a stack of some of the rare SOUL joints they were getting down to at his infamous 45's night 'TAN CRACKERS SOUL CLUB' & it has been a favourite of ours since.

A Classic mix from the archives, this mix was so popular overseas before our old soundcloud got deleted. Our good friend DJ MK-1 drop[ed this killer mix tape just before Christmas 2013 digging deep in beautiful sounds of BRAZILIAN BEATS & BREAKS.

This mix is a true testimony to this mans versatility as a DJ and Beat Digger. MK-1 unearths some super rare and super dope Brazilian cuts on this mix.

ABOUT MK-1 /

Born John Khilla in Sydney 1979, MK-1 aka Mista Killa began DJing at the age of 15 with the aid of mentor and friend, New York’s legendary DJ Steve Dee (founder of the X-men and inventor of the funk a.k.a beat juggling).

By the age of 18 MK-1 had developed his own distinct style of DJing, shunning the many cultural clichés of the Hip-Hop scene.

With sets geared more towards a showcase celebrating music past to present, Mista Killa is certainly a rare breed of current DJ's who prides himself in rocking good music - PERIOD.

From rocking plenty of the world's most famous venues, to being one of the exclusive DJ's for the 2000 Olympics, to releasing a myriad of mind-blowing mixtapes and singles with the music industry's finest.

A promo mix for the infamous soul and funk joint TONIC LOUNGE, Kings Cross, Sydney. Our good mate DJ Frenzie dropped this tape around 2010 for one of Sydney's most beloved late-night music venues. The club may be closed, but for years Tonic Lounge was the go-to spot hosting just about every real DJ and specialist music night in the city.

At uni, Frenzie's Groove Therapy radio show was a weekly ritual for us — studying to his mixes and podcasts on Apple iTunes every Friday, religiously. His show opened us up to a whole world of music we never would have found otherwise.

ABOUT DJ FRENZIE / GROOVE THERAPY

Frenzie has been around the block more than a few times — over twenty years of experience, a record collection that will make any DJ envious, and a concrete rep as one of Australia's most trusted party rockers. Inspired by the era when DJs played for no less than 6 hours straight, transitioning fluidly between Original Soul & Funk 45s, Deep House, Disco & Boogie, Hip-Hop, R&B, Breaks & Beats, and party anthems. Frenzie has got you covered.

His Groove Therapy radio show — now in its eleventh year — broadcasts weekly on 2SER FM every Friday lunchtime and has become essential listening for all musically savvy Sydneysiders. The podcast has built a massive loyal fanbase in all corners of the globe.

A veteran touring DJ of the Australian east coast, Frenzie has also rocked dance floors in San Francisco and New York, with support billing alongside a who's who of DJ royalty. Pioneering DJ Grandmaster Flash personally requested Frenzie as his official support for his 2013 Sydney tour (four shows). Months earlier, Frenzie was cutting it up on stage with New York Hip-Hop legends The Ultramagnetic MCs.

In 2012 he placed second in the NSW heats of the DMC — the most prestigious DJ competition in the world — his first foray into battle DJing in almost twelve years.
