“Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is one of Australias most famous and well-loved events, bringing thousands of visitors to Sydney to join in the celebrations. It captures the imagination of Australia’s LGBTQI and mainstream communities, taking over the city for weeks on end, culminating in the world-famous Parade: a colourful and dazzling night of pride, celebration and self-expression.” It is with much excitement and anticipation that this release was produced. I hope you enjoy this podcast that reflects the building "momentum"leading to the final parade and party for the Sydney Gay and& Lesbian Mardi Gras 2016.

It is with immense pleasure to announce the tenth session of SPLASHBACK. To celebrate this milestone, the music has once again been pulled right back to reflect where it all began: - Session One. When the series was first created, its commitment was to showcase classy and sophisticated music that would stand the test of time. I think you will agree that Session Ten is testament to this undertaking. I hope you enjoy this super groovy 80 minutes as much as I have in creating it… Deep and Soulful House music with integrity.

Underground events continually keep me intrigued as Dj's spin an array of music. However, my one complaint is often that the music never develops. Personally I believe that each track needs a purpose and not just some monotonous rambling of 8 bars repeated over 6 minutes. The music needs to speak for itself without being reliant on vocals. There needs to be a starting point and a road to journey within each track.  Much like the release of the GRUNT and INQUISITION podcasts (available here or on www.markalsop.com), there's strong proof that the Underground scene continues in strength with music that is anything but boring.Given all these points, I have developed a style I am proud to present as I launch my new Underground series titled SubKulCha.   Break out your imagination….. This podcast contains EXPLICIT material. Be sure to clear your mother and all kids from audio range.......

Vocal Cocktail -Deep House. Splashback Disc Two is a representation of many gigs that I am playing that do NOT feature a dance-floor.Think of sipping cocktails on a lazy Sunday afternoon and tapping your feet to the groovy beat. Just when it looks like the music is going to take off, it is pulled back with the next tune. The energy is always kept in check and very different from the big nightclub experience. Groovy Vocal House and Cocktail tunes sprinkled with a dash of Disco..............Mmmmm!So join me in another martini, turn up the volume and lets groove through into the night.......   For a complete listing of Podcasts please navigate to www.markalsop.com Join the MA15+ Facebook group click here For i-Tunes subscriptions click here
