About MEEM:
Meem (Michael Moebus) is a respected and pioneering music producer, DJ and radio host from Sydney, Australia - whose inimitable style of funk, disco, soul, electro-boogie & hip hop has kept dancefloors shaking for over 20 years.

In the late 90’s Meem began performing live at underground dance parties in Canberra (illegal forest parties, art galleries and aquariums) and soon catapulted from a shy art-school raver to a highly sought after live electronic act – performing at The Big Day Out, Sydney Festival, Peats Ridge Festival, Triple J Groove Train, Parklife, and Field Day. Meem has supported internation heavyweights such as Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, and Jamie Lidell, and he has showcased his live and DJ performances in London, Manchester, island beach parties in Croatia, and summer festivals throughout Eastern Europe.

As a sought after DJ, Meem has supported international acts including Thievery Corporation, and Tom Findlay (Groove Armada). Bringing a diverse and expansive music collection to each gig, Meem blends a broad range of styles and genres including funk, soul, disco, hip-hop, reggae, latin, jazz, R&B and boogie.

As a weekly testament to his love of funk music (and all its related styles), Meem also hosts the long-running and much-loved radio program Back to Funk, broadcasting every Monday afternoon on 2SER 107.3FM.

Meem has also achieved design notoriety by releasing almost every release in limited edition, and often handmade, packaging. Destined to become collector’s items, covers have been crafted from wood, cotton, felt and vinyl upholstery. Meem’s CD design has been featured in the UK publication ‘CD - Art: Innovation in CD Packaging Design’ by Charlotte Rivers, alongside cover art for The Pet Shop Boys and design by Andy Warhol.

ABOUT GROOVE SCOOTER RECORDS 
Based in Sydney, Australia, Groovescooter is an independent record label, production house, film music supervisory/licensing service, events company and remix team founded by long-time friends/collaborators Georgie Zuzak and Paris Pompor. 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.

DJ D Classic Funk, Hip Hop & R&B Set at STRATHFILED STREET PARTY | May 24 | SOUL OF SYDNEY #411

Expect a bit of everything in this 1.5hr closing set at soul of sydney on an 8 hr party, from house, to hip hop and jazz, throw back oldies, afrobeats touches + boogie, soul and funk - the live recording is a bit rough as live party mixes tend to be at times. I love playing closing sets, cause sometimes you need to refresh the energy in the room. Still this mix will give you a broad spectrum of some of the styles and genres i love to intertwine. ❤️Enjoy
