A classic mixtape from Sydney crate digger, DJ & producer MK-1, pulled from the SOUL OF SYDNEY archives, circa 2013.
A sonic story told through music, from one of our favourite local selectors — DJ MK-1.
MK-1 Presents Malika (2013) is a deep, layered journey through hip hop, funk, soul and deep grooves, put together by a seasoned Sydney selector who has been doing his thing since the early '90s.
One of the first DJs we went out and listened to back in the day, MK-1 was already playing bars, clubs and block parties around Sydney — and he's still doing it today.
We've caught him everywhere from Caterpillar Club and Dean & Nancy's to the many Sydney spots where good music and serious selectors have found a home.
A proper crate digger with a knack for finding gems and connecting sounds from all over the place. You never quite know where MK-1 is going to take you, but there's always something good waiting around the corner.
A snapshot of Sydney's underground music scene from back in the day, preserved in the SOUL OF SYDNEY archives.
