SOUL OF SYDNEY #430: PHIL TOKE @ SYDNEY FESTIVAL at the SOUL OF SYDNEY showcase featuring OYOBI | Jan 2025. 

This extended opening set starts with a special homage to our Lebanese roots, featuring the timeless voice of Fairouz opening up the venue before weaving into rare groove, soul, and slowly building the dancefloor with funk, disco, and a touch of hip hop goodness.

Recorded live on the beautiful wharf dancefloor at Moonshine, Walsh Bay, for Sydney Festival in January 2025, our own Lebanese soul brother Phil Toke sets the tone as people arrive slowly warming up the exposed timber dancefloor for the incredible Oyobi, who followed with their live showcase.
