🎧 MIXTAPE MONDAY: Soul of Sydney Radio #168 — DJ Sarah Love (UK) Live at Soul of Sydney Secret Block Party 2014 Old School Funk · Soul · 90s Hip Hop & R&B · Australia Day Long Weekend · Jan 27 2014

For this week’s Mixtape Monday we’re in the archives for an absolute classic mix which we just uploaded to youtube. It’s Australia Day Long Weekend 2014, we threw a Secret Block Party and brought in UK Hip Hop royalty DJ Sarah Love to close out the night for a very memorable afternoon in hush-hush courtyard space in inner-city Sydney.

Hailing from London and known from BBC 1Xtra and MTV, Sarah is an internationally renowned DJ, broadcaster and presenter who has performed alongside legends including Grandmaster Flash, DJ Jazzy Jeff, The Roots, and Mary J. Blige. She brought every bit of that world-class energy to Sydney that afternoon & lucky for us, we had the recorder running.

Whether you were there on the night or discovering this set for the first time, we hope you enjoy the vibe and hope we are lucky enough to see you at a jam soon.

LIVE MIX: Edseven Closing Set at ★ Soul of Sydney NYD Blockparty 2026

EDSEVEN AT SOUL OF SYDNEY NYD DANCE PRESSURE RELEASE SET

LIVE MIX: Edseven Closing Set at ★ Soul of Sydney NYD Blockparty 2026

There’s something magic about the courtyard finding its final groove as the sun dips and the crowd locks into that last collective dance. At this year’s Soul of Sydney NYD Blockparty, that special sunset moment once again belonged to one of our very own — Edseven — laying down his now-traditional extended pressure release set to close out the courtyard stage in true Soul of Sydney style.

A mainstay with us for over 15 years, Ed’s journey has been incredible to witness — from selector to globally respected DJ, remixer, producer, and vinyl tastemaker recognized for his impeccable sound, one-of-a-kind setup, and deep musical taste. His closing sets have become the stuff of Soul of Sydney legend, and this year’s was no exception — packed to the rafters with dedicated dancers hanging back to catch him do his thing.

Gliding effortlessly through soul, disco, house, and a touch of UK garage, Edseven delivered a masterclass in flow — extended blends, smooth transitions, and perfect timing — taking the crowd from vintage grooves to timeless edits. Every track felt like a conversation with the dancers, building on the day’s energy and wrapping it all up in pure, feel-good vibes.

This closing moment has become a Soul of Sydney NYD tradition, a living snapshot of what our community is all about: open-hearted music lovers connecting under the summer sky through rhythm, love, and joy.
