There's nothing special about 1000. My 1000th show should be about the same thing as every other show - great (mostly) new music across the soulful spectrum. And this Stylin' 1000 compilation is not meant to be any more special than the 500, 600 or 900 ones.

The thing about 1000 though is it is roughly the number of new songs I listen to every week. So that's a million songs over the 20 years I've been presenting Stylin' every Friday afternoon on Melbourne's 3RRR-FM. The 1000 gets distilled down to about 30 over the two hours of the show, and then every two years about 30 appear on one of these comps. So when you look at it like that, these songs are very special! They certainly are to me.

Some of these artists have been guests on the show. In the case of Melbourne artists Allysha Joy and Danika Smith, their recording was actually made live to air on the show. The others hail from all continents except Antarctica! While many are not household names, the artists and musicians heard here have worked with other Stylin' guests and favourites like Milton Nascimento, IG Culture, Amp Fiddler, Theo Parrish, Robert Glasper, Kamaal Williams, Orquesta Akokán, Derrick Hodge, Soul II Soul, Horatio Luna, Peven Everett, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, 79.5, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Lauryn Hill, Idris Ackamoor, Kendrick Lamar, Q-Tip, Faith Evans, Shabazz Palaces, London Elektricity, Cee Lo Green, Arthur Verocai, Mulatu Astatke, Tony Allen, Soulection and Hiatus Kaiyote.

Since Stylin' 500 came out 10 years ago, the series has featured a pretty great roll call of artists, including Melanie Charles, DJ Harrison, Sampha, Brandee Younger, Leron Thomas, Zach Witness, Daniel Crawford, Andras Fox, Opolopo, Nduduzo Makhathini, Oddisee, Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange, Silentjay, Jordan Rakei, JAB, Teymori, I'lls and Sterling Void. Some of these artists have gone on to sign with labels like Blue Note, Stones Throw, Impulse and Verve.

Stylin' 1000 is possible thanks to the generosity of many incredible artists and labels. Please explore and support their amazing music through the following links:
