We want more Underground, We want more Underground! Your requests have been noted! I've once again grabbed my .wav recorder and headed into the clubs to start my new UNDERGROUND SERIES. First off the mark is a live 2018 recording from "Junk" at Baby Bear Bar, Sydney, Australia. It's Underground music that just makes sense!

HONEY is now celebrated in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane!

“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.

There has been an inkling in the last few podcasts that some of the tracks on Splashback crossover with my HONEY sets/podcasts. So here for your listening pleasure is SPLASHBACK Session Nine – Splashback vs. Honey! Expect the usual Soulful and Deep House but this time sprinkled with groovy early morning tracks that you would here in my earlier night sets at the HONEY parties. I hope you enjoy this crossover, peppered with Italo styled piano and a reworking of a track that I’m sure you will all know from 1977. 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.......

Disc Two.        Flashback to 2003 - 2007 Day-club Vocal House.           For more in this series head to www.markalsop.com        . In 2003, a small club opened it's doors underneath the famed JBF building at Taylor Square, Sydney. It's name : Manacle. Within a few months the idea of a Day Club emerged. At first it was slow going and I remember playing to only a few people, but as word spread, all that was to change.Within the next six weeks it quickly became THE place to be. The name Manacle was on everybody's lips and the new Day Club "BENT" was born.People arrived after dancing all night in the nightclubs as well as those that would miss the Saturday nights entertainment along Oxford Street, so that they could awake at 6.30am and be fresh faced for the opening of BENT at 7am on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings.Manacle not only saw the emergence of BENT, but also other regular events like D2D (Dusk@Dawn), Man Hole and Manoeuvres. Throughout the history of Manacle I also became the Friday night resident and saw the birth of an extremely popular night entitled BOYZONE and then the later famed GRUNT.I hope you enjoy this journey back to those days. The double CD was originally entitled UNITY. The triple set was FAITH, HOPE & CHARITY. The earliest recording done in 2003/04 is called League. ALL these releases were only given to friends and the most loyal customers. This is the very first time that they have ever appeared digitally and available on the internet.I sincerely hope you enjoy this Flashback to the music that helped create the most popular and notorious Day Club in Australian history.A special thank you to Andrew Clarke & Stuart Fraser for creating such an amazing piece of Australian Gay history and for also providing the logo!

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
