A classic mixtape from Sydney crate digger, DJ & producer MK-1, pulled from the SOUL OF SYDNEY archives, circa 2013. A sonic story told through music, from one of our favourite local selectors — DJ MK-1. MK-1 Presents Malika (2013) is a deep, layered journey through hip hop, funk, soul and deep grooves, put together by a seasoned Sydney selector who has been doing his thing since the early '90s. One of the first DJs we went out and listened to back in the day, MK-1 was already playing bars, clubs and block parties around Sydney — and he's still doing it today. We've caught him everywhere from Caterpillar Club and Dean & Nancy's to the many Sydney spots where good music and serious selectors have found a home. A proper crate digger with a knack for finding gems and connecting sounds from all over the place. You never quite know where MK-1 is going to take you, but there's always something good waiting around the corner. A snapshot of Sydney's underground music scene from back in the day, preserved in the SOUL OF SYDNEY archives. MK-1 Presents Malika (2013) SOUL OF SYDNEY #448 Big love to our homey MK-1.

We recently rediscovered this forgotten gem on an old hard drive a tribute mix recorded by DJ HAMO Tevita in 2009 following the passing of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

With a wide range of tastes and influences dj hamo has flavours for one and all: Take 2 scoops of soul from Stevie and Amy Winehouse, add a good measure of funk from Prince and Parliament, top it with the breaks of Mr Scruff and Featurecast, flavour with the hip hop of Kanye and De La Soul add a dash of pop from Kylie and Michael Jackson layer with the urban of Beyonce and Timbaland,. It all makes for a recipe of funky vibes, party times and feelgood flavas.

Soul of Sydney Radio 💛 Show 445 – El Chino | All Vinyl Brazilian Funk, Lovers Rock & Deep Roots El Chino steps up for a warm-up set at Soul of Sydney's 14th Birthday open-air jam — and this one is something special. Pure selector vibes: all vinyl, no laptop, no shortcuts. A carefully curated journey through Brazilian funk, lovers rock reggae, and deep roots music, flowing from the heat of São Paulo boogie through to cosmic soul and inner-city Sydney. This is the kind of set that reminds you why real music played on real wax hits different. From Mato's silky reggae re-readings of soul classics to Marcos Valle's sunbaked Brazilian disco, Roy Ayers in full African-funk spirit mode, and the ultra-rare Garfield Fleming doing his thing. Recorded live at Soul of Sydney's 14th Birthday, November 2025 — open air, real vibes, proper music. El Chino is one of Sydney's true musical treasures — a selector who has been schooling us for years through his weekly show Departure Lounge, every Saturday afternoon on 2SER FM. He's put us onto so much amazing music over the years, so it was only fitting he kicked things off for our birthday. An all-vinyl set played outdoors, wind and dust storms and all, while people grooved in the courtyard. 🎵 TRACKLIST 0:00 01. Mato feat.

Soul of Sydney Podcast: Ron Carroll Tribute Mix (House, Gospel & Soulful House & Preacher House) A heartfelt tribute to the late, Ron Carroll (Rest In Peace), the legendary Chicago house producer, gospel singer, songwriter, and DJ who passed away earlier this week. Ron Carroll’s powerful vocals, and preacher voice as well as his uplifting productions shaped the sound of soulful and gospel house for over three decades. From collaborating with house greats like Louie Vega, Ron Trent, Hardsoul, and E-Smoove, to penning timeless anthems such as Lucky Star and Back Together, his music carried the message of love, faith, and unity straight to the dancefloor and always resonated with us. For us at Ron Carroll’s unique blend of Chicago house and gospel were the reason we first fell in love with Gospel House, and his influence runs deep in everything we do. We remember first seeing him play on a NYD in Sydney when he did a very special live PA & DJ set over 15 years ago. He showed us then how power GOSPEL HOUSE could be on a dancefloor & it has always stuck with us as a very special moment. This mix is our way of celebrating his life, legacy, and the joy he gave to dancers and dreamers around the world. 🙏 Rest in Power, Ron Carroll. Your voice lives forever in house music. #RonCarroll #BMC #GospelHouse #Gospel #soulfulhouse #soulful #houseSOUL OF SYDNEY 13th Birthday DJ SHAN FRENZIE | Nov 2024 | Funk, Soul, Disco Mix | SOS #431

Stephen Allkins (Love Tattoo) Live at SPIRIT OF HOUSE Tribute July 6, 2025 | SOUL OF SYDNEY #428 Sydney legend in full effect! For fans of Feel-Good Funk, House, Garage & Disco, here’s a special live recording from Stephen Allkins—the original “Mr. Disco” and mastermind behind [Love] Tattoo. Clocking in at two hours, this set captures a deep dive into the soulful heart of Sydney dance culture, recorded live on the Greenwood dancefloor at our beloved SPIRIT OF HOUSE tribute. A massive THANK YOU to everyone who came down to the SPIRIT OF HOUSE jam. This beautiful community is what makes these parties so special. We’re proud to share the first of our live recordings from the event—a set from a true Sydney original, Stephen Allkins, also known as Love Tattoo. Stephen’s legacy is woven through decades of Australian club culture. Starting his journey in 1978, he played a crucial role in bringing disco—and later house music—to Sydney’s underground. Affectionately called “Mr. Disco,” his legendary record collection, adventurous selections, and pioneering sets broke new ground across the city’s gay clubs, warehouse parties, and iconic venues, inspiring generations of selectors and dancers alike. As a producer, Stephen’s releases as Love Tattoo pushed Australian dance music onto the international map. His single “History of Disco” was an instant classic, and “Bass Has Got Me Movin’” in 2001 earned ARIA nominations and global attention for its soulful, modern spin on house and disco. With a career spanning over 40 years, his contribution to the evolution of disco and house music in this city is unmatched. This two-hour mix, recorded on the fly at Greenwood Hotel for the SPIRIT OF HOUSE tribute party, dives deep into early house, uplifting garage, and those soulful, grooving disco vibes that have come to define Sydney’s dancefloors.

Sunday, July 6 @ 2pm at GREENWOOD HOTEL (North Sydney) Info at www.soulofsydney.org/spiritofhouse - About STEPHEN ALLKINS : ‘New York had Larry Levan, Chicago had Ron Hardy, Sydney has, Stephen Allkins..’ It is safe to say that Stephen Allkins aka [love] tattoo could rightly claim the trademark of “Mr.Disco”, his extensive record collection & his infamous sets over the years. Stephen Allkins—aka [Love] Tattoo—is an undisputed icon of Australian dance music. A DJ, producer, and pioneer, he has been shaping the sound of disco and house music in Australia since the late 1970s, laying the foundations for the vibrant club culture that followed. From the earliest disco nights in Sydney’s gay clubs to underground warehouse parties and mainroom raves, Stephen’s sound has consistently pushed boundaries and inspired generations. Affectionately known as “Mr. Disco,” Stephen began DJing in 1978, spinning vinyl in a scene still forming its identity. He was among the first in Sydney to champion disco and later house music, earning a reputation as the “DJ’s DJ” for his impeccable selections, deep crates, and intuitive ability to work a dancefloor. His sets were spiritual experiences, blending deep disco grooves, vocal house, and electronic soul with an effortless mastery that helped define the sound of a city. As [Love] Tattoo, Stephen stepped into the studio and brought his musical vision to life with a series of genre-defining releases that bridged the golden era of disco with the pulse of modern house. His breakout single “History of Disco” (2001)—a lush, soulful tribute co-produced with Paul Mac—was quickly signed by Pete Tong to Essential Records and released on the legendary UK label ffrr. The track resonated internationally and marked Allkins as not just a DJ, but a gifted producer with a reverence for dance music’s roots. Today, Stephen Allkins stands as one of the most important figures in Australia’s dance music history. His influence is felt in every corner of the scene—from crate-digging selectors and disco revivalists to mainstage house DJs and producers. With over four decades of contributions behind him, his legacy continues to inspire the next wave of artists and dancers alike. We are honoured to welcome him back to play the SPIRIT OF HOUSE tribute parties again at one of the seminal homes of the sound through the 90s. About the SPIRIT OF HOUSE: Spirit of House is a tribute party paying homage to an era of house that sits close to our hearts, a platform to get down to SOULFUL HOUSE sounds of 90s & 2000’s & 90’s House classics & of course the disco roots that form the foundation of that sound.Love Tattoo - Drop Some Drums (Stephen Allkins)

Originally put together for the Easter Gospel House podcast we did, however we didn't end up using this exact version, so we thought it would be a sweet one to release to friends and fam. If you are feeling it, please email us and we can send you a version. We hope you enjoy, and please check out the original cut from YASS https://www.discogs.com/master/642399-Yass-He-Reigns?srsltid=AfmBOoqzzzupY3EzUEa6xsPnP2H9C_B2ORK338305ypY0SMwa4pXRhoL Big love, Check out more of our edits, mixes and podcasts at www.soulofsydney.org #gospelhouse #edit #yass #preacherhouse #gospel #house #soulfulhouseGOSPEL HOUSE EASTER MIX - Disco + Garage + Gospel House Classics Mix by SOUL OF SYDNEY
