Thousands have attended this year's Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade, 48 years since the first gay rights parade in Australia in 1978. Australia's biggest celebration of the LGBTIQ-plus community took place days after an announcement that the historic parade route will be added to Australia's National Heritage List.
من مسيرة ليلية صغيرة في أوكسفورد ستريت عام 1978 انتهت باعتقال 75 متظاهراً، إلى مهرجان عالمي يملأ سيدني بالألوان… هكذا وُلد Sydney Mardi Gras. بعد نشر أسماء الموقوفين في الصحف وتصاعد الجدل، ألغت نيو ساوث ويلز تجريم المثلية عام 1984 في عهد Neville Wran. ومع تصويت الأستراليين بـ«نعم» لزواج المثليين عام 2017، أعلن Malcolm Turnbull النتيجة التاريخية، وشارك لاحقاً Anthony Albanese في المسيرة كرئيس وزراء. اليوم يضخ الحدث ملايين الدولارات في الاقتصاد، رغم تحديات مالية أخيرة. لكن الأهم رمزيته: مساحة للتعبير والاختلاف داخل مجتمع متعدد الثقافات، بما فيه الجالية العربية. فهل يمكن التوفيق بين القيم الدينية وحقوق الأفراد؟ وهل يبقى الحوار ممكناً حين تتصادم الهويات؟
Sydney Mardi Gras 2026 falls on the first weekend of March this year so I had to get the Mardi Gras Anthems edition out ahead of time. The festival takes place over the last two weeks of February and the parade and party are the culmination of the festival. This year's edition lands firmly in the 'camp' musical arena with a veritable smorgasbord of divas contributing to the mix and a who's who of remixers lending their talents to the updated versions of these classic songs. Melbourne based DJ and producer Argonaut kicks the set off with his outstanding remix of Kylie's "What Do I Have To Do". Robert from Division 4 contributes four killer remixes here for Irene Cara, Demi Lovato, Destiny's Child and Agnes respectively. Russ Rich and Andy Allder's remix of Billie Eilish's "Birds Of A Feather" is one of my favourites and had to be included here. Reaching back in time are remixes for songs from Taxas, Madonna, Yazoo, Deniece Williams and Britney Spears. Mark from Dirty Disco pretty much owns this edition with stellar remixes for Whitney Houston, Blaze ft. Barbara Tucker and Yazoo. His remix of Whitney Houston's "It's Not Right But It's Okay" is balls to the wall incredible and his own original song "Because I Knew You" closes out the set. Unfortunately, the main closing party for this years Mardi Gras has been canceled so alternate parties are filling the gap. This years edition of Mardi Gras Anthems should keep you moving and grooving until Pride rolls around in June. Happy Mardi Gras and stay safe.

Against a backdrop of violent anti-semitic and anti-indigenous attacks and the relaxation of police restraints in response to them, Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras organizers are faced with twin controversies: the withdrawal of the Jewish group Dayenu from the event and demands for the expulsion of the New South Wales Police contingent. Veteran activist Ken Davis explains the situation (Barry McKay reports). New Yorkers defy the Trump administration and replace the rainbow flag the government “disappeared” from the Stonewall National Monument (Paul DeRienzo of WBAI reports). A Black History Month Rainbow Rewind honors Langston Hughes (produced by Sheri Lunn and Brian DeShazor). And in NewWrap: the European Parliament approves a resolution specifically calling for “the full recognition of trans women as women,” HIV-positive enlistees are once again banned from serving in the U.S. military, intersex children are now protected from undergoing unnecessary medical procedures without their informed consent in the Australian state of Victoria, Kansans can now sue if they're upset after sharing a bathroom with a trans person, U.S. Olympic women's ice hockey team captain Hilary Knight leads her team to gold and plans to lead speed skater Brittany Bowe to the altar, and more international LGBTQ news reported this week by Nico Raquel and Ret (produced by Brian DeShazor).

This month's edition of UP! has a front end full of funky, house pop tracks and transitions into a back end full of driving dance floor stompers. Kicking off the set is the awesome Nick Jay & Jean Luc remix of Katie Underwood's "Danger". The amazing Division 4 features three remixes here for Sabrina Carpenter, Sombr and SZA respectively. He has his own website (Division 4 Music : Div-4.com) where you can download quite a few of his mixes at really good prices. I highly recommend you check it out and also give him some support. Speaking of support, the incredibly generous Russ Rich and Andy Allder gave me an advance copy of their remix of Raye's "Where Is My Husband" and it is flat out amazing. The baseline, percussion and integration of the lyrics is masterful and I cannot thank them enough for this lovely sneak peak. Dario Xavier also features two mixes for Nick Jonas and also Taylor Swift. Sagi Kariv delivers a thumping mix of Charlie XCX's "Hello Goodbye" and the always on point Dirty Disco delivers a classic remix for Tata Vega and a punchy remix for Katseye. Closing out the set is the new track from Agnes given the big room treatment from Henriq Moraes. The Sydney Mardi Gras festival fires up in mid February and runs through to the first weekend of March which means Mardi Gras anthems will be out very soon. I would also like to dedicate this month's edition of UP! to my good friend Mark who just celebrated an 'event' birthday.

Crack open the champagne. Mardi Gras Anthems is celebrating it's 21st edition in March 2024 with 21 featured artists. The annual Sydney Mardi Gras party falls on the first weekend of March this year so in readiness for that, I'm releasing this milestone edition in advance. This set epitomizes the term "Anthems" with tracks from legendary divas such as Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Kelly Clarkson, Deborah Cox, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Madonna and the list goes on. There is even an appearance from legendary 80's dance floor divas Evelyn Thomas and Miquel Brown. There are mixes from remixers' across the club spectrum including Mike Rizzo, Block & Crown, Country Club Martini Crew and the always fantastic Wayne G, 7th Heaven and Russ Rich. Each year I badger two of my favourite remix artists - Division 4 and Dirty Disco for copies of their early release and private remixes and every year they very generously provide me with them. I know I sound a bit like a broken record when I say this, but their generosity in doing this for me is so greatly appreciated and changes the landscape of how I approach and assemble these Mardi Gras Anthems sets. I'll let the music speak (sing) for itself while you hit the dance floor for this year's Mardi Gras Anthems deep dive.
