FROM DJ SPINNA PODCASTS: Marvin Pentz Gaye Jr. (April 2, 1939 – April 1, 1984) The whole world knows that I'm a huge Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Prince buff. But the other beast of a soul artist that I love to death is Marvin Gaye, of course! His music deeply expresses the soul of a man. The most bewildering thing about Marvin that I've come to understand more in my adult years is how he was able express his life experiences so artistically despite all his traumatic upheaval. I mean, his pops was a cross dressing preacher that practically despised his own son. I'll never forget the day I found out his dad took him out, the day before his birthday! I couldn't understand it and I was sad as hell. But life is wild that way. All that pain he endured led to greatness. Check these two youtube clips. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUfsI9jJr_I&feature=related (Tom Joyner interview) The most honest interview I think I've ever seen an artist do while they're STILL dealing with their issues, not after. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ9FViYsDQA His dad was illmatic! And a suggested read... Divided Soul: The Life Of Marvin Gaye by David Ritz (who actually co wrote Sexual Healing) This book will change your life and have you paying more attention to Marvin's lyrics. I guarantee it! I grew up with his music like so many so I thought it was only right to bless the world with a mix. Included here here in this first episode are some rare releases, B-sides, alternate versions, exclusive re-edits and remixes courtesy of myself and some legendary dj/producer friends. More Marvin heat to come shortly... Enjoy BLOG POST https://soulofsydney.org/2011/04/03/marvin/

The two DJs and music collectors had played in various bands together and separately in the '80s/'90s, before setting up the Groovescooter record label and their DIY studio in the late-'90s. In 2019, the label celebrated its 21st birthday with the launch of its vinyl-only 45 imprint, Thr33-Thirty Seven Records co-run with another friend and music fanatic named Nico. The imprint's first two releases were Oyobi's much-loved Gamble & Huff/Jean Carn 7″ remake of Don't Let It Go To Your Head, and a reissue of Aussie jazz-funk rarity Pink Steamroller by The Life Organisation. With one foot in their '80s femo-funk-punk and queer disco pasts, the other in the dancefloor's fluid future, an enduring love of new and vintage soul, funk, jazz, electro, Afro, Latin, reggae and tropical vibes inform most of what they do and love.
