Overview

Sydney loves a Sunday block party and Soul of Sydney’s a good'un — a funk/soul/hip-hop oasis for house heads, Bboys and Bgirls, and pretty much anyone who can get down with getting down to a good beat.

This Sunday afternoon, Soul’s taking to yet another secret Sydney disco dance floor for an indoor/outdoor jam in homage to the godfather of house music, Frankie Knuckles. Knuckles passed away in March 2014, leaving a house music legacy like no other; he was credited as being there when the genre first got its name in the '80s, putting the ‘early’ in early Chicago house vibes.

To celebrate his life and legacy, Soul of Sydney DJs will be spinning heaps of the disco funk and garage tracks that shaped house music plus — of course — a not-to-be-scoffed-at dose of solid '90s house. The lineup includes Superbreak, Scott Pullen and Phil Toke, and there’ll also be a stepping and house dance showcase.

If you haven’t got your tickets yet, get on it. The super-cheap $5 round has sold out, but there a handful of still-pretty-damn-cheap $10 tix left to snap up.
