    Brazilian Roots + Soul Funk Vinyl Mix | ELCHINO at SOUL OF SYDNEY 14th Bday 2025 | 445

    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.
