So yeah... just put this up in the mix section last night. I spent a fair bit of time putting this togteher, so hopefully folks check it out. This one expands on my first aussie funk mix with a fair deeper selection of rare and funky Australian records. There's funk, jazz, psych, rock, a bit of disco and of course, an emphasis on TEH BREAKZ. From 75 mins in, it's basically just breaks.

So yeah... let Australiaman know what you think.

    Long story short, I put this together a while ago and then lost my soundcloud log-in for it until the other day!

    Very cool, many thanks.

    Funk and jazz sounds filtered via local experience, values and culture is usually a rewarding endeavour, and this hits that spot nicely.

    That bitd Luv n Haight Aussie comp was an eye opener, but to have someone on the ground put together a more panoramic set is much appreciated.
    Bravo.

    Thanks man - glad you dug it.

    Yeah, the Luv n Haight comp was great. The Respect Overdue comps (there's three volumes) were also eye-opening even for me as a local, and were put out by a friend of mine.

    Dope mix, Kinetic. Still need to listen to the last 1/3 or so but I can't say I recognised any of the tracks. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't surprised at that. Been digging locally on and off for a few years now, thanks for the wake up call! (and for making the mix downloadable)

    Peace

    Thanks man - I always listen to mixes in the hope of being turned onto good music I have never heard before, so I'm glad I achieved the same.

    For anyone that's interested, the full track listing is available here.

    Listened & enjoyed. Great jams, and nice mixing that balanced some well-timed cuts without being too intrusive on the musical experience.

    Always good to be schooled on another country's music scene as I know nada about Ozzie funk. I shall sacrifice a tinnie to the compiler gods.

  • KineticKinetic 3,739 Posts
    Thanks all! Humbled to hear that people are digging it, and the blog for that matter. And yes Recordbeast, that is Moir Sisters at 12:33 in. Such a good cut... fun fact, this is on a 45 too, but I have only ever found one copy.
