Guy Uppiah -- Keep Vinyl Alive


You probably don't know who Guy Uppiah is. The man was a DJ legend in Melbourne almost a decade ago. Shit, maybe two decades ago! God knows where he is now. Probably having dreams about Freakazoid. I used to catch a few sets of his at a club called Checkpoint Charlie back in the late 80s. All disco, with a little bit of a new style called House seeping through.

Check this mix. Strictly rhythm, strictly vinyl.

Anyone who drops Alison Limerick's "Where Love Lives" is alright by me.
