Oyster Playlist: THEESatisfaction

The duo's top ten funk tracks before they come to Australia for the first time.

Jazz/funk/soul rap duo THEESatisfaction made us a playlist of the top ten songs that inspire them. Stasia Irons and Catherine Harris-White will be making their Australian debut at the Melbourne Festival this month. Coming out all the way from New Orleans, THEESatisfaction will be joined by Big Freedia & the Divas on their mission of booty shaking. These acts and accompanying DJs are sure to fill up the D-floor with some jazzed-out funk and a whole lot of soul.

You can snap up one of the last few tickets to the Melbourne show on October 18, or catch them in Sydney at Goodgod Small Club on October 19, and in Perth the following night. In the meantime, let this playlist whet your appetite.

1. 'Human Nature' — Michael Jackson 

2. 'Feather' — Little Dragon

3. 'Can't Hide Love' — Creative Source

4. 'Win or Lose' — Earth, Wind and Fire

5. 'A Night in Tunisia' — Chaka Khan

6. 'Giant Steps' — John Coltrane

7. 'A Tisket, A Tasket' — Ella Fitzgerald

8. 'You've Got It Bad, Girl' — Stevie Wonder

9. 'Watch What You Say' — Gang Starr & Chaka Khan

10. 'Stay With Me' — DeBarge
