This week, we're celebrating five years of the Sounds of Sydney segment on Universal Harmony! With our Australian bestie, Carlos, each week, we cross over and hear what life sounds like in our slightly bigger, sister city.
Episode 442 includes some of my fav selects from Carlos over the last five years, plus some new 'feature tunes' from both Carlos and myself, dr.Snikkers.

A few years ago, Son Of Sesh relocated from Pōneke to Amsterdam. He has upped the ante since then, picking up residencies on Echobox Radio and at the Textures club-night, and having his dubs aired on Subtle Radio and Balamii. Last week, racquetclub released his debut Surface EP. We celebrate with a mix of his own productions interspersed with future soundsystem classics.
Tāmaki Makaurau-via-London creative Marcus Philippe made his production debut with a track on JUBILEE's stunning Magic City compilation in 2018. He recently released the Warmth EP, a dubby and textured three-tracker that has quickly become one of FPHQ's favourite local releases of the year. Marcus joins us with a mix that stitches together deep grooves from three decades of dance music.
