SOUL OF SYDNEY FEEL-GOOD FUNK RADIO SOUL OF SYDNEY

Our brother EDSEVEN closing out SOUL OF SYDNEY NYD SPECIAL Jan 1 2024 with a dope deeper pressure release set to end a night with the true believers to get down in the courtyard.

A genre-spanning journey through deep, soulful sounds. With tracks ranging from classic to contemporary, he kept the crowd moving until the close, getting down in the courtyard.

Starting with Prince & The New Power Generation's "Gett Off," the set seamlessly flowed through funk, soul, and house, showcasing EDSEVEN's skill in blending eras and genres. Highlights included remixes by Louie Vega and Moodymann, Afrobeat rhythms from Black Motion, and timeless anthems like "God Made Me Phunky." Closing with soul-stirring cuts, EDSEVEN perfectly closed out an amazing afternoon with the kind of testament to music's power to unite and uplift that only a season selector could pull off.

Massive respect seeing such a talented dude work his magic behind the decks closing out SOUL OF SYDNEY NYD jam.

Recorded for podcast #409

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
