We love this summer warm up mix our brother DJ SEB ONE put together as a warm up for SOUL OF SYDNEY PICNIC at SYDNEY FESTIVAL back in 2016. It features 30 minutes of original SOUL & RHYTHM & BLUES joints & some personal favourites including the likes of Nina Simone, George McRae, Kool & The Gang, Quince Jones & more. Nothing but love for the Sydney Festival jams we were lucky to host for a few years over summer in Hyde Park, they were some of the nicest afternoons of music, it was so nice to be able to see generations of the same family just getting down and soaking up the Sydney Sunshine & some of the great music we were given a platform to play. This mix right here is a small taste of some of that music we used to play very early on just as people were having lunch on the grass. Track List / Nina Simone - Sinnerman (Live Intro) Minnie Ripperton - Memory Lane Ohio Players - Pride & Vanity Labi Siffre - My Song Quincy Jones - One Hundred Ways Claudja Barry - Love for the Safe of Love Cal Tjader - Walk on by Mary Jane Girls - All Night Long Steely Dan - Kid Charlemagne Jeanne & The Darlings - Soul Girl George McRae - I get Lifted The Supremes - Time to Break Down. Kool & The Gang - Too Hot - About DJ Seb One. In the winter of 2011, he was pulled away from the bar in a downtown Sydney watering hole. The following phrase, spoken urgently, would set the next three years in motion. “Hey, I’ve got to go rehearse for a dance showcase, cover the booth for the next hour and a half.” Things have come a long way for Seb One since that night of frantic under the booth googling on an iPhone 3GS, “Scratch Live Instruction Manual." Since then he has opened for the prestigious Dancekool Volume annual hiphop festival/competition alongside such notaries as DJ Matt Fernandez and DJ Naiki and has proven himself capable of supplying the backbone for dance battles of all styles in Sydney. Among those Seb One has had the honour of playing for include notable hiphop personalities Buddha Stretch and Loose Joint (Elite Force, NYC), B-Boy Y-not (Rock Steady Crew, NYC) B-Boy Physicx (Rivers Crew, Korea), Kumari Suraj (The Waackers) and Mamson (Wanted Posse, France). Bridging his love of music and food he further supplied the beats section of the Good Food Month "Bagels, Beer and Beats,” at Helm Bar, an event jointly held by Helm Bar and Brooklyn Boy Bagels. More recently Seb One partnered with Red Bull to provide the VIP foyer pre-show entertainment for the Sydney leg of the Rihanna tour. Among his other pursuits he is a semi-active photojournalist and acts as Dancekool Studio’s Systems Technician. Acknowledging the need for a strong foundation in today’s budding talent and in order to give back to the community he grew from, he also assists DJ Naiki in a DJ course/workshop held at Dancekool premises. Seb One currently reps the 319 as well as his personal philosophy, >1 (greater than). Links: www.greaterthanwon.com www.mixcrate.com/greaterthan1. www.facebook.com/greaterthanwon ★❤♫ ♩ ▔

Our good friend DJ MK-1 released this dope mix tape late last year, digging deep in to his musical collection for the third instalment of his popular BRAZILIAN BEATS & BREAKS mix tape series. 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. Enjoy the previous mixes here: Brazilian Beats & Breaks Vol I - by DJ MK-1 https://soundcloud.com/soulofsydney/mix147 Brazilian Beats & Beaks Vol II - by DJ MK-1 https://soundcloud.com/soulofsydney/mix179 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.
