NOW ON YOUTUBE 🎧 – A CLASSIC MIX FROM SYDNEY DJ ICON MR GLASS (REST IN PEACE)

Sydney funk legend MR GLASS (Rest In Peace) put together this beautifully warm collection of Northern Soul, sprinkled with that unmistakable Sweet Motown magic, for the legendary Tan Crackers Soul Club night many years ago.

This isn’t just a mix — it’s a journey. Packed with obscure gems, a handful of well-loved favourites, and all spun from original 45s, this set was crafted with pure love, passion, and deep musical knowledge by one of Sydney’s finest (and funniest) characters.

Mr Glass was more than a DJ — he was a tastemaker, a storyteller, and a cornerstone of the Sydney soul scene. This mix captures his spirit perfectly.

💛 Turn it up, feel the warmth, and celebrate the legacy.
