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.

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.. DOWNLOAD: https://www.mixcloud.com/Frenzie/tribute-to-vincent-montana-jr/

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.

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.

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.
