Merchants of Sound launched in October 2009 with Phat Kat and Bully Dux at the helm. With a geographic location change and art projects taking them onto another realm they handed over the reins to 3 new regular presenters: Tess Morgan, Samira and Georgie Groovescooter. Samira left after a move to Melbourne & MOS were joined by Sharmaine from The Cut as a regular contributor to MOS in late 2019. Each on rotation, serving it up a musical treat to the East and beyond! Join us every Saturday night 6 - 8pm - immerse yourself into a musical journey spanning soul, funk, boogie, afro-beat, hip-hop & global beats - dusty rarities and classic treats.
Tess Morgan - Tess has been sighted on many a dance floor over the years!

Georgie Groovescooter - First turned on to music in a suburban bedroom as a pre-teen after stumbling on to Canberra’s 2xx community radio where anything from disco & the emerging sounds of electro through to post-punk feminists jostled for air-time. Arriving in Sydney she fronted in numerous bands and started Groovescooter with good friend & bassist Paris Pompor. Initially Groovescooter started out as a record label, but has morphed into a multi-arts outlet. Apart from presenting radio at Eastside for the past 20 years, she has worked at FBI, 2SER and SBS. Georgie Djs & is part of Queen Bee Collective In between Georgie has been the Australian rep for L.A.’s Stones Throw label and also managed rare-groove labels Basement Digs & Sonic Arcana which were housed at ground-breaking Australian distributor Creative Vibes.
