SOUL OF SYDNEY Feel-Good FUNK RADIO

Super Sweet Disco & Deep Mix by Terry A

Style: Deep House, Nu Disco & Original Disco gems.

Run Time; 80 Mins

DJ: Terry A

This podcast is a very enjoyable Deep House & Disco mix by immensely talented local DJ & wax collector Terry A.

Terry has been doing his thing throwing down the goodness all over Sydney's Deep & Soulful club nights & parties since the late 90's. He is, in our opinion one of a hand full of selectors in Sydney who still get that real 'Spirit of House', keeping it true to days of the early pioneers of the sound by seamlessly fusing Disco, Funk, Boogie into house sets like it ain't no thing.

He was an instrumental part of the launch of our Spirit of House Block Parties throwing down some very memorable sets at our early parties & helping us get the parties off the ground strictly for the love of the sound.

Spirit of House Classic Soulful Vocal Vibes by DJ M

Style: Classic Funky & Soulful House Vibes.

The mix is a throwback to better days of 'Souful House' with classics from 90's & 2000's back when DJ M first started clubbing, back when Soulful House was at its peak including absolute seminal moments including; Beautiful People by Barbara Tucker and gems from Soulsearcher, D-train & Kings of Tomorrow just to name a few.

One from the archives ! Our good friend DJ MK-1 put this super dope mix-tape out back in 2013 & we have had it on heavy rotation since.

MK-1 PRESENTS SOUNDS OF THE ZULU NATION 100% SUCKA FREE

MK-1 could be best described as an Endangered Species of DJ from the old regime who has constantly been re-inventing himself, pushing boundaries and creating new soundscapes for his audiences listening pleasure. With countless DJ’s in the Sydney scene MK-1 has firmly carved out his own lane, this man simply cannot be compared.

Vincent Montana Jr was an American composer, arranger, and percussionist, most known as a member of MFSB and as the founder of the Salsoul Orchestra.

He is the spiritual father of the Salsoul Orchestra, the backing band for the many acts on Salsoul Records. The personnel of MFSB and the Salsoul orchestra overlapped substantially, and both groups were recorded at Philadelphia's Sigma Sound Studios.

In recent years, Montana worked with house music duo Masters at Work, which rekindled interest in his work. Ken Cayre, founder of Salsoul Records, praised Montana's skill at scoring strings, brass, and diverse percussion in such way that it all worked within a dance recording.

Montana passed away on April 13, at the age of 85.

On this weeks podcast, I pay tribute to the man, with a selection of tunes from his massive discography. Tunes that he either wrote, arranged, produced, or played on..

About DJ SOUP /

Soup was the chief music provider for local break dancers. It was during his third year at High school he began fiddling with DJ equipment. Soup learnt about the dazzling new music form hip-hop and began developing production skills on crude sampling equipment in luxurious 8bit, his computer had an amazing 2 megabytes of memory. He began digging for samples and was mostly enthralled by Rhythm and Blues, Soul, early electronic music and spoken word records.

Soup has recently signed to the reformed Creative Vibes which is now under the umbrella of MGM Groove Merchants. Look out for a new album early in 2010.

Soup has remixed Aria nominated Watussi as well as Cookin On 3 Burners, both of which are on the amazing Knowfoowl label.

Soup has DJed in many clubs around Australia including a long residency at Tonic and Blue hotel and the legendary Sounds of Seduction with Jay Katz from the Mu Meson Archives.

Check him out currently at The Marble Bar, Miss Peaches, Tokyo Sing Song, Palmer & Co, The Bank Upstairs, The Civic Hotel, Cafe Lounge and The Lansdowne Hotel.

His sets are always eclectic but the common thread is soul. His first love is Rhythm and Blues but don’t be surprised to hear lots of different styles of music mixed and blended into his sets.

Founding the Fonke Knomaads, Soup became producer, DJ and part time MC for the left field Sydney Hip-hop pioneers. They released a 5 track E.P. called "The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of..." on the now defunct label PoBoy records .Soup moved on to sign with influential Australian record label Creative Vibes . He soon released the groundbreaking Trip-Hop Album "Souperloops".

Soup coined the term sampology and his tracks began popping up on several international compilations as well as having an album of the week on JJJ.

This was the first local hip hop release to be given such an honour. The album was influential to local bands such as The Resin Dogs and Fretless.

Further releases include collaborations with Fat Pizza star Sleek the Elite, the mini album "Eclectro" and the feature length album "From Anuva Planet" featuring Swollen Members and Gift of Gab from Blacalicious . Soup's last release was "Beatroot-The Edible Root of the Beat" which is out on Invada records. A label run by members of Katalyst and Portishead. It is an album true to form with a variety of hip-hop and twisted electronic styles to keep those kids jumping.
