With the Obama inauguration around the corner & the majority of the world already celebrating the 44th president of the United States, I though it would be a good time to share our own tribute to the nation’s first black President.

This one is atribute mixtape by Phil Toke & Soul of Sydney from Bondi Beach Australia. It features some of our favourite funk, soul & disco artists, including: James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Roy Ayers, Curtis Mayfield, Bill Withers, Herb Alpert, Issac Hays, George Clinton, Lonnie Liston Smith, & George Benson just to name a few, & it also includes samples of the Barrack Obama election night Speech & Martin Luther King ‘I Have a Dream’ Speech.

Mixed by: Phil Toke & Soul Of Sydney, of Sydney Australia
