About The Mix:

As much as anyone knows The Mixtape One in a Million tells a story of the relationship between two people that only lasts a short period. cleverly constructed MK-1 captures the essence of the relationship between Love and Pain and tosses them into an emotional melting pot for your listening pleasure.

A message from MK-1:

‘Peace and Blessings Friends and Zulu Family,

Like all great works of art, Its creator had a vision to capture the very essence of our humanity. Whether it be feelings of love, sadness, death, or an appreciation for the graces God has bestowed upon us etc.

Its been a while since i have shared with you any of my work due to a over welcomed visit of a creative mind block.

Over the past few weeks I have been inspired to create a very personal piece of work. Inspired by my personal journey and a very special individual I was gracious enough to have walk in my life for a brief moment.

I have put on my Sound Designer Hat opposed to the DJ as a means to provoke certain emotions on cue through a well-constructed selection of sounds and tracks giving it a ‘cinematic’ feel. the duration is only 31 minutes to signify the 31st month of January 2010 when this journey began.

I welcome any comments you may have regarding the mix-tape: One in a Million and hope you enjoy the experience. If you choose to download please hit the accept on the event invite.

A note to all Friends and Fans, As a means for me to welcome a blank canvas in my creative expression from this moment onwards the DJ Mista Killa in no longer in venture. All future work/gigs/Appearances I will go by the name MK-1.’

Zulu Peace and Empowerment for all.
True knowledge

ABOUT GROOVE SCOOTER RECORDS
Based in Sydney, Australia, Groovescooter is an independent record label, production house, film music supervisory/licensing service, events company and remix team founded by long-time friends/collaborators Georgie Zuzak and Paris Pompor. The two DJs and music collectors had played in various bands together and separately in the ’80s/’90s, before setting up the Groovescooter record label and their DIY studio in the late-’90s. In 2019, the label celebrated its 21st birthday with the launch of its vinyl-only 45 imprint, Thr33-Thirty Seven Records co-run with another friend and music fanatic named Nico. The imprint’s first two releases were Oyobi’s much-loved Gamble & Huff/Jean Carn 7″ remake of Don’t Let It Go To Your Head, and a reissue of Aussie jazz-funk rarity Pink Steamroller by The Life Organisation. With one foot in their ’80s femo-funk-punk and queer disco pasts, the other in the dancefloor’s fluid future, an enduring love of new and vintage soul, funk, jazz, electro, Afro, Latin, reggae and tropical vibes inform most of what they do and love.
